1995 Ford Escort LX Sport review from North America
"An eager little car with style"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has happenend.
The speedometer dances a bit above 75.
My shifter boot won't seem to stay on all the way. Oh well.
General comments?
This car has been great to me.
I've had no mechanical problems with it and have kept up with maintenance intervals. I would really suggest using the Ford Motorcraft plugs in this car.
Even when I've gone past an oil change or tune up, it still just charges on like a champ.
The thing starts right up every time, and it just feels like it loves to go places.
Zipping around windy roads is very fun in this car. It being a 2 door hatch, you can really get a feel for its size and toss it around.
The sport package is cool. I love the alloy wheels and the spoiler.
I would recommend this car to most people. It's great on gas and is fun to drive. I haven't driven the automatic, but the 5 speed manual is great.
