1998 Ford Escort ZX2 Sport review from North America
"Very reliable and moderately sporty that is easy on the pocket book"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I replaced the drivers side wheel bearing because it was noisy.
The head lamps scratch easily.
The hood latch broke.
General comments?
I really love my ZX2. I re-upholstered the seats in color matching vinyl. I installed a custom stereo system and more.
It is a quick little car.
