1998 Ford Escort ZX2 Sport review from North America
"Eat me Ford"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch needed to be replaced twice.
Head gasket blew, the mechanic argued with me about it saying that the antifreeze in the oil was there because I put it in there. After that the engine needed to be rebuilt.
Not much else.
General comments?
These are generally good cars. I guess I just got a bad one, I hope. But I really am sick of the dealers who are always a pain when something goes wrong.
