2000 Ford Escort ZX2 S/R review from North America
"High bang for a low buck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Noticed a little oil on the Valve cover, could hardly notice but had the gasket replaced at 9 000km under warranty.
General comments?
With the S/R package which has the lowered suspension - it handles great.
Great pickup off the starting line. The stock short-throw shifter sure helps.
Great interior with a center console which makes the controls easy to reach.
