2000 Ford Escort ZX2 s/r from North America - Comments

Nothing!

I was looking for Focus ZX3 or an Escort ZX2 and ran across the ZX2 s/r. It performs and handles great. It is very fun to drive. It is too bad Ford is not selling the ZX2 with the s/r package anymore. I would purchase another in a second.

The parts that make a S/R an S/R, are available from Ford to make any ZX2 an S/R.

I KNOW!!! Why did they stop making the ZX2??? Instead they make a ZX3 that is an ugly focus? UGH! At least the ZX2 Looked good! I had this '84 Topaz with a modified '85 EFI HSC 2.3 and would blow the doors off camaro's on the interstate all the time and got MY doors blown off by a ZX2. "An Escort??" I said.

I was so upset when they added the speed limiter on the '98s and DISCONTINUED them after that! What an ill fate for the poor ZX2, only 2 years of production...

These cars will be worth a lot some day.

I Have a 2002 ZX2 they were not discontinued it handles and performs excellent.

He was talking about the Zx2 s/r.

I have a 2000 zx2s/r, and if it has a limiter, it doesn't cut off until after 130 mph. Not that I needed to go that fast to beat anyone.It's just a really fast car, and it is a shame that Ford stopped making them. They handle great and are fun to drive. But if you add some performance parts and a body kit these cars are sick.

I have a 2000 ZX2 s/r which at first was a great car. But I had to have to motor replaced by ford (after I stupidly drove through a large puddle) well anyways ford mechanics don't seem to know the first thing about the engine in the S/R. I have taken my car to to shop 6 times in the past year and a half for oil leaks and blown serpentine belts. The car itself is great, but if you ever need yours worked on look real hard for a good mechanic. I haven't been able to find one yet!

I have a 200 ford escort R/S yellow and I wanted to see how much it would be worth, it has only 15,000 miles on it. The car is not driven much.

My 2000 ZX2 S/R is yellow too. The crank was moving about 1/16 of inch causing the need for a new engine. The mechanics did a marvelous job, and I cannot say enough for FORD. Since the engine replacement at 14,000 miles, I now have 36,000 miles and only drive in Summer and only when I want to take a DRIVE.

This is a great performing vehicle, one of a few, 500 black, 500 red, and 1,000 yellow, and it is to be treasured.

I use my Yellow Escape for its work duties and relief of my specialty S/R. I consider the S/R an investment.
