1998 Ford Escort 2 Dr ZX2 Hot Coupe
Review
I've had my car for a few months, and i really don't have anything bad to say about it. It has a lot more power than I thought it would have and its performance is exellent.
Favorite Features
cd changer, sporty exterior, performance, gas milage
Suggested Improvements
cd changer needs to be up front instead of in the trunk. And there should be a way to get in your trunk if you loose your keys.
Definitely a Great Car

1998 Ford Escort 2 Dr ZX2 Cool Coupe
Review
I have 90000 miles and no major repairs or maintenance issues (5speed Manual). Sporty and stylish with a modest price tag. I bought it at a time when I never imagined I would own an American manufactured vehicle, and voila, I have been duly converted. Cheers to the designers and engineers. Great Car!

1998 Ford Escort 2 Dr ZX2 Cool Coupe
Review
I was most impressed with the car's solid feel and responsiveness. The car is 5 years old yet responds with real vigor. Had to replace the front left cable and align the wheels.. otherwise its been trouble free.
Favorite Features
AC immediately cools the car. Rear seat fold down for expansion of trunk space.
Suggested Improvements
Could use a change drawer and map light.

1998 Ford Escort 2 Dr ZX2 Cool Coupe
Review
Features: Automatic and A/C. Front-wheel drive. Only 23,500 miles in 5 1/2 years. Everything still works well! Right front wheel-bearing was replaced/was making a noticable noise.
Favorite Features
Sky blue/light blue color. Many compliments! Great handling! Fits in tight spots!!!
Suggested Improvements
Better gas mileage. 4 cylinder should average more than 27mpg. Had a Tercel that averaged 36mpg. Power antenna should be standard(for the drive-thru car wash).

1998 Ford Escort 2 Dr ZX2 Hot Coupe
Review
Well, I just purchased a 1998 zx2 "hot" from a private party. The car had 62,500miles when i bought it. The car has every option available except abs because when the seller ordered the car abs wasn't an option then. I have all the service and maintanence records for the car since new. That in itself is amazing. Its a perfect car for me because the upgraded seats hug my back althought I don't recommend it to large frame people. All in all I am very satisfied with my car and never thought I would say that about a ford.
Favorite Features
Performance, moonroof,cd changer

Inside truck release, interior could use a tad bit of remodeling

This is the first new car that I have ever bought and it was a great investment. I had it paid off in 4 years which was great. I have never had anything major go wrong with the Escort and it rides smoothly. I get great gas mileage down the highways.

MY CAR IS GREAT ON GAS, I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR FOUR YEARS AND I'VE NEVER HAD ANY THING GO WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE PLENTY OF TRUNK SPACE. AND IT RIDES SMOOTH, HAS PLENTY OF PICK UP AND GO FOR A COMPACT CAR. I'D RECCOMMEND IT TO ANYONE.
