1995 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"Super Slow Escort LX"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1) Check Engine Light comes on
2) Windshield Wiper Switch Failed.
General comments?
This is the slowest car on the face of the earth. The automatic transmission is clumsy and too slow to shift, this car can't even get outta its own way. Its got OK A/C, but forget trying to run the thing because then the car just sits there and can barely even move at all with it running. I can't believe in 1995 Ford was still making this tired old engine this car isn't up to standards with most of the other 95 cars out there even a 3 cylinder Metro is faster than this thing. Hopefully I can trade this thing in next year and get something else something that will at least pull its own weight.
