1998 Ford Escort ZX2 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have only had my car for seven months now, so there are no major problems to report. However, during the cold winter months the car made a little more noise than I feel comfortable with. Overall I have been very satisfied with my purchase. Ford has created a very quick and strongly built car. This was put to the test as I collided with another vehicle recently. The force of the impact was severe enough to dislodge the bumper of the other car. However, I just incurred superficial scratches.
