1988 Ford Escort EXP Luxury Coupe review from North America
"For the $700 I paid for this car, It has been worth it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing belt went out after 58,000 miles.
Speed sensor went out at 59043.6 miles.
Cruise control has never worked since I have owned the car.
General comments?
This is a very inexpensive car.
Great gas mileage. Approximately 35 miles per gallon.
For the engine size, the car has some get up and go.
The absence of rear seats make the cargo area perfect for larger items.
Handles great in all seasons. Especially winter. Perfect for snow covered roads.
However, the ceiling is rather low and injuries to the head may occur.
