1997 Ford Escort Base review from North America
"Double My Pleasure"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator went on both 97 escorts I own at 100000 miles.
Gas gages on both cars no longer work.
General comments?
Followed The maintenance schedule to the letter and have been rewarded for doing so.
Both cars have over 120000 miles on them.
Back seats are cramped when tall people occupy front seats.
Good on gas.
