1995 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"This car has been fantastic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only real problem I have had is a water pump failure.
The other piece that broke was the seat belt clip on the drivers side. So what.
General comments?
The maintenance schedule has been followed almost to the letter.
Oil changes have been done at 5000 mile intervals with tire rotation at 10K. It has not used any oil since day one.
The car was totaled once when an Explorer hit me doing 45 while I was stopped. Despite the damage even the rear window did not break!
It is in the shop now because it has started to leak a few drops of transmission fluid. No complaint though I have over 250K miles on it!!
