1998 Ford Escort ZX2 review from North America
"Very dependable and cheap to own and operate"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The emergency brake cable was not working. I replaced the cable for around $40.00.
General comments?
This car has been the most dependable vehicle I have ever owned. I have not had to have make any repairs to the vehicle except for an emergency brake cable.
