The clear coat began to come off.
Headlights filled up with water every time it rained.
The little engine could not supply any power and soon blew a head gasket.
After the gasket was replaced the check engine light came on for about a month, still no mechanic could find out why.
The engine finally blew and I junked that piece of crap.
The car looks sporty, but it is not.
This was supposed to be the sport model for Ford besides the Mustang. But both seem to have gone horribly wrong.
No one should ever buy a Ford, they have now power and are very unreliable.
But the dealers are very friendly when selling you junk.
Buy a Kia.
Buy a Kia!?
I'm sorry, but I think that's the funniest thing I've ever heard. I guess you got the only lemon out of the 60 other reviews here!
Yeah really, a Kia?! Wow, that's a real improvement!
Kia is junk.
So far with my experience with a 1998 ford escort zx2, I have had to replace at 85,000 miles, the head lights, all hoses, radiator, head gaskets, clutch, overflow tank, windshield washer tank, overall never again would I buy a escort let alone a ford and about the KIA, what are you thinking they are just as bad!
