1997 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"It's a bit over priced for all the repairs that it needs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The back spring on the passenger side has broken.
The air conditioner runs all the time regardless if it is shut off or not.
The windshield is coming out.
The rear passengers seal on the door is coming off.
The paint and clear coat is coming off.
General comments?
This car has a bit of spunk to it. When the gas is pressed it will take off. It has a bit of edge.
This car however will rev itself up on its own.
It also will inch forward in drive.
On long car rides it could be a bit more comfortable.
