1995 Ford Escort LX from North America - Comments

The only thing that has gone wrong in the car, is something in the ignition. Everytime I open the door, It starts doing that annoying beep it does when the lights are on. It was annoying at first, but I really don't hear it anymore.

I actually do get a lot of comments on this car. I'm always being told its really cute, or some people tell me how "fast" they are. I don't think its too fast, but it can go.

Despite what other people have said, this car does have a lot of pep. I can easily get on the freeway and be up to 60 mph before I merge into the lane without even pushing the engine.

I raced a Honda Accord once, and I left that honda in my dust!

The engine does lose a lot of power when I turn on the A/C, so I usually drive with the windows down.

The car is very good on gas, and a good car to take on long distance trips. Its got a surprisingly good sized trunk that I can fit all my luggage in, and then some. And believe me, I'm not a light packer.

Personally, I think the Escort is the best car out there, even though its not the biggest, fastest or sportiest, it still rocks yo.

I agree, my 1997 escort hatchback may well be the most reliable and best car I've ever had. No, it IS the best car I've had. It is nimble, comfortable (sits a bit low), economical and surprisingly has great suspension. An excellent ride. I've had it from birth to it's 99,000 plus miles without any major problems. Well, the airbag flashes a 51 and that's why I'm here searching to begin with, trying to find the reason for it. no luck yet. besides that, I give it a 5 star rating. I also have a Mazda MVP 2000 and a Mazda 1993 b2200 pickup. The Escort ' feels" just right. thanks.

I had a 1994 ford escort hatchback and personally I think that is was the best car I had, except it had a few problems. Like when it was in reverse, it made a giant screeching noise and so I took it and bought a tracker. The tracker was a mistake, I should have kept it. I am just waiting around for another hatchback to be at a car lot and then ill get another one. The 88 horsepower was just enough power for me! At 76k the speed sensor went bad, but that was no big deal. It needed a serpentine belt, brakes all around, muffler. I just couldn't keep up. But then I let my sister drive it. She backed up into a pole with it, 3,400$ damage and it was totaled. But I went and got it fixed and the people didn't do a good job. The hatch leaked water when it rained. Like 3 weeks later I let my sister drive it again and she pulled out in front of a Chevrolet Blazer and broke the bumper, lights, fender, and hood. These Escorts can be crashed and they will keep going. As you said people say its cute, people say mine thinks it's a race car/rally car. I put performance oil in mine and it went flying. And another time someone crashed into a sign and I turned around to look and the next thing I knew, I was on someones lawn. No damage. It's a great car I love it!

Hi my name is Daniel and I'm 16 and I just got this car for my first car and I love it. I have a 1995 Ford Escort LX with aluminum wheels, spoiler, and the best thing of all, it's a 5 speed. But be carefull not to over rev the engine, cause I took it to where it just starts redlining it, and I blew a cylinder so be carefull. But I agree with everyone else, that this car is the best little car you can get, I get great gasmilage in town (28), and on the road I get (34)! And this car does have enough power to spin the wheels. ;)
