Review
I have had some problems with my little
scort, but we are working them out. I
had a intensly bad problem when I was
at an idling speed the car would begin
to jolt, this was especially scary on
the highway at fast speeds. My mechanic
told me that it was the EGR (exhaust
gasket registor), it is a emmisiions
control device that was causing the
exhaust to plug up. Now that I have
this problem taking care of I have
fallen in love with this car. I am
currently adding performance parts
under the hood. I also plan on painting
it Emerald green in the summer of 2003!

Although many people malign Fords, I
have been very happy with mine for the
past 6 years. It has 138,000 miles on
it, and it is still running strong.

I bought the little Escort hessitantly,
but in dier need of a car. At
44,000miles. It was great! I enjoyed it
and gave me new hope in Ford products.
I would recommend this little car to
anyone who uses it for school or even
small travel trips. Great fuel, I did
have to replace a serpentine belt and
before selling it the fan. No
complaints, and I'm glad to say so! We
grew out of it so that's why I sold it.

I'm 18, purchased my first car last
year, a ford escort, hunter green.
First thing I should have noticed is
that the last owner had a rebuilt
engine, no biggie I thought, then it
cost me $3500 in pure repairs after one
year, the car has a new engine,
transmission, radiator, alternator,
brakes, a/c system and cooling fan, all
replaced by me out of pocket. The car
will cause you problem after problem
and when you do finally catch up on the
payments from the repairs it will break
on you again and again.

The Escort is a reliable piece of basic
transportation. It gets you from point
A to point B with minimal fuss.
Unfortunately, with the 1.9L engine,
you also get minimal acceleration.
Road noise is excessive, even for a
small car, but the ride is quite supple
for a car of this age (the chassis
first debuted on the Protege in 1990).
Not a bad little car overall, very
reliable.

Its a very nice car, a powerful baby u

nice steeting, powerful roaring engine
& with manual shifting its way too
coooool.

This is an awesome car. Hands down. I
was fairly worried when I first bought
her, I love to travel and she was
already at 54,000 miles, which gave me
doubts to how long she'd last. I'm now
at 88,000 miles and the only thing I've
done to her is change the timing belt.
The engine is great, you hit the pedal
and you're gone. And 340 miles later
you have to fill the tank. What more
could you want? I've had no
exterior/interior problems other than
the belt, and I would recommend this
car to anyone who wants something
peppy, reliable, gas efficient, and a
LOT of fun :) Two thumbs WAY up. Why
did Ford have to take them away? :(

My "mileage" is actually in kms, being
Canadian!
I bought my Escort used with 125 000
kms, it now has 200 000 kms after 4
years. Reliability has been good with
regular maintenance- had to have rear
brakes replaced. Not a whole lot of
pep (auto transmission). Some rust on
side of door. Comfort is good, A/C
works AWESOMELY although mileage
loses! My fuel economy has been
declining over the last year. Handles
well.
