1990 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"Very reliable and would recommend to anyone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problems has been fair wear and tear.
Changed the clutch at 90,000 miles.
Oil is changed every 2,000 miles.
Replaced the entire front suspension at 140,000 miles due to wear and tear.
General comments?
The body parts have been very easy to replace, after having hit a deer.
The ride is really good, but the seats get to feeling hard after about 300 miles.
I currently get about 47 mpg.
