Review
i have owned my 2-door LX for over two
years now, and have put many miles on
it. this car is very fun to drive, and
is rather reliable. although it's
highly underestimated, it does has some
kick (with 88hp). if i ever trade it
in, it will be for a 2nd gen GT...
mainly because i love the body style,
but would like to have a faster engine
in it.

What more can i say other than WOW!!!
ford did a really good job with this
one.....hats off!!!! i bought my car
as a senior in hs back in '99 and love
it. it started with 65000 and now has
120000 and the only major repair i had
was the tranny.....but that was
because this summer i went back and
forth to cali from ND 4 times(that is
2000 one way to LB from Jmst). other
than that no problems even with a
2000watt system tapped into the
electrical system. also the hatchback
design works perfectly with a system.
sounds great!!!!!!

This car is a mini-SUV to me :). It
does not have the horsepower needed to
make it more fast in acceleration, but
is the faster that i know, I made 110
miles in the highway at full
throttle!!!, and i felt secure, no tend
to roll, exelent handling. But when is
time to reapir it, is very Xpensive, and
it ate lots of bucks. My mother had a
roll-over in it recently, we are
repairing it, but is to costly saddly,
we are thinking in buying extra car, I
hope a MS 2K at least

I bought a 1995 Escort in 98 when I
was in college, and it took me from
Missouri to the East Coast, Maryland
to Maine, to the West Coast, back and
forth several times, all with no major
repairs except for the tranny. And
let's face it, the trannies go out
around 80 or 90k anyway. Betty the Red
Escort was very reliable, had GREAT
gas mileage, had GOOD pickup for a 4
banger, several tickets attest to
that, and although my woman made fun
of me for it, I enjoyed this car. I
could haul a lot of stuff and barely
had to refuel the tank. And she never
left me stranded.

This car is our 3rd Escort and we
recently purchased another to make 4!
We have changed the oil and serviced
it. That is it. It gets 36-40 mpg and
is the most dependable car I have ever
owned. It's easy to park and corners on
a dime. I love my car!

to start off. i love my escort gt. its
the most wornderful car to drive. it's
really quick when you want the power
it's there. handles great. i do plan on
making it handle better by putting some
strut bars in front and back, and
makeing it a little more powerful but i
love it. it's a perfect sleeper i
guarentee it'll beat a '97 honda civic
ex coupe.

I bought mine at auction 5 months ago
for $900. The car was fairly trashed by
the previous owner, but I was looking
for something cheap and good on gas. It
has 132,000 miles and still runs
strong. Leaks a little oil and
antifreeze but it still gets 35+ mpg
running back and forth to work. Shame
it wasn't taken care of, but I'll run
it till it drops and find another one.
The A/C is awesome, a must for living
in the south.

I've had this car for 5 years. I've
replaced the battery, the timing belt,
the radiator (only because I never
flushed it), the tires, and the plugs.
Otherwise, this has been an outstanding
vehicle to own and operate. I highly
recommend this for a college student or
teen's first car.
