1999 Ford Escort ZX2 review from North America
"Great deal for someone who needs dependability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator died at 70,000 miles.
Thermostat died at 85,000 miles.
Hood latch broke at 90,000 miles.
General comments?
This car was a great deal.
If you are a small person with small pockets, this car is a deal.
The few, inexpensive problems were not bothersome.
This car has excellent gas mileage.
Even while gas prices continued to soar, I paid around 12-13 dollars to fill it up.
