1994 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"Wonderful car for the price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got it, it had a pinched wire in the engine because of a previous wreck. Was very hard to find the trouble, but once found it was fixed.
When I first got the car it needed a tensioner pulley which I still have not replaced!
A vacuum hose sprung a leak at 75 thousand miles.
I replaced the spark plug wires at 80 thousand.
Passenger side power seat belt works when it wants to.
Heating system settings are off.
General comments?
I passed this little car daily until stopping after several months I paid cash for it. It's been the little car of my dreams. It's stable, dependable, cheap, very low maintenance, and for me very comfortable.
