1999 Ford Escort review from North America
"Great reliable car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light has been on since I bought it.
Dealership cannot figure out why the light is still on? It does not bother me at all though.
Paint scratches easily.
General comments?
I work as a delivery driver and that is why I have so many miles on the car. I put around 43000 miles in a year.
I find that the car is very comfortable (small guy 5'4" around 145 lbs) for a bigger person it might not be comfortable.
Great gas mileage.
I have had other Ford vehicles that I have lost due to transmission problems. The only Ford I will ever buy again is an Escort.
