1997 Ford Escort review from North America
"Reliable and affordable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In the 4 years I have owned my Escort, I have only had to replace the alternator.
General comments?
I always get about 31 miles per gallon of gas.
The only repairs I have had to make were from ordinary wear, like new brakes and a battery.
Would highly recommend this car for those who need reliable transportation that looks good without lots of expensive bells and whistles.
