1999 Ford Escort ZX2 review from North America
"Quick, sturdy, fun, cheap!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing!
General comments?
I bought this car because I wanted a quick five speed front wheel drive. The ZX2 was BY FAR the best bang for the buck. It's quicker and handles better than the rest at under $11,000. I paid $10,688 and this car is a blast to drive HARD! Great for those of us that want a sports car but don't want high insurance or operating costs.
