1998 Ford Escort ZX2 review from North America
"A good car that handles well on tight turns"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear seat ripped along the seam.
Steering wheel sometimes squeaks when turning, but no one could find the problem, more annoying then anything else.
General comments?
It was a really good car and handled well on back roads.
The cabin was a little small for me, but I am a tall person.
I would recommend this car for anyone that wants a car that handles well and is cheap to maintain.
