1996 Ford Aspire 4 Dr STD Hatchback
Review
Incredeable interior space. When you take out the back seats (remove 4 bolts) you can use it as a mini-mini van. Gas mileage is a little disappointing. Fun to drive. Very comfortable seats. Lots of leg room (I am 6ft-2". I can stretch my legs. Hardly any trouble after 155,000 miles!!
Favorite Features
Legroom, spacious... Almost trouble free
Suggested Improvements
Gas mileage, power steering, Speedometer was replaced three times (it does not like -40 weather)
Alright Car

Review
I don't think it is the greatest car, but I do prefer it over some others. The size is what gets me...it is a little to small sometimes, other huge cars like Dodge Ram pickups tower over me, but then it is normal size against other cars. Not as fast as I hoped, but since I have bought it I have never had to do any special work on it other than the usual oil change, and filter change.

Suggested Improvements
The size could be a little bigger and may a little more horsepower under the hood.

Review
One review of the Aspire summed it up as BULLETPROOF. I concur with that. My car has 116,000 miles on it and I have done NOTHING to it, other then change oil & filter, and air filter. NOTHING else has been touched. While the 63 ponies under the hood my not break your neck accelerating, it does however manage to get you around decently.
Favorite Features
This car has one the shortest turning radius EVER! It turns so sharp you can nearly run into the back of yourself if you're not careful!!! I love the fact that I didn't pay a lot for the car, and I am not paying a lot to maintain the car. It just doesn't get any better then this!
Suggested Improvements
A few more horsies wouldn't hurt, but I'll take it anyway.
