1993 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"It's cheap, but very reliable!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've replaced the brakes a few times.
I've replaced the alternator.
Many things have broken on the interior including the tape player, the cigarette lighter, the automatic seat belts and some panel lights.
My fuel pump just went right before I got a new car.
General comments?
This car was overall, a very decent and reliable vehicle. I had no major problems with the engine except for things that are expected to break and be replaced on any older vehicle. For example, the fuel pump and alternator.
It had awesome gas mileage and handled extremely well because of it's small size. It was also very ease to park.
I will hate to see it go. I drove this escort a lot of miles and it was always very good to me and reliable.
