1999 Ford Escort LX review from UK and Ireland
"Never buy this car. Waste of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Too much vibration, even the steering and gear handle vibrates very heavy.
Cabin noise is very high even you can't hear the stereo.
Seats are not comfortable at all.
You can hear engine noise in the cabin.
Suspension is very poor on bumpy road.
AC is not effective. With AC running the pickup of the car is very slow and vibration is very high.
Very bizarre back seats cannot be folded. don't know how Fords sell??
General comments?
Nice looking exterior and interior.
Honda's Zetec engine is the only good thing in this car which given excellent pickup.
Good stereo system.
