1993 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"A car that will last you a lifetime"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator died at 170,000 miles.
Clutch went at 155,000 miles.
E-brake sticks once in awhile.
General comments?
The car has been amazing to me. I have driven it out to Boston almost every weekend for the past 2 years, and it's great on gas, and is a very smooth and easy to control ride.
I was hit by another car back in January, it smashed in my driver side quarter panel, my hood, my bumper and my driver side headlight. I duct taped the bumper so it didn't have a huge hole in it, and the light so it would hold still, and drove it all the way from Western Massachusetts to Miami, and still got 38 mpg! What a great car!
