1999 Ford Escort ZX2 Hot 2dr Coupe
Review
Over 63K with oil changes and no major
repairs. I think I am still on the
original brakes. Engine noise is
high. Car rides smooth and not harsh
over bumps. Agressively geared really
flies. Hardly have to press on the
gas pedal. Trunk is reasonable size.
Very reliable in the three years I have
had it, just starts and runs. I think
this car thinks its a honda or a
toyota, often gets mistaken for one.
Only will sell because I need more
room.

If given the choice between this and a
Focus or Honda again I would still
choose the Zx2. The car is very fun to
drive, work on, it's very quick and
outruns most cars on the road including
some V8s yet still if babied I can get
37 miles the gallon and carry a lot of
cargo. It's always been reliable and
multi-functional. I went from an SUV
to this and will never go back. Truly
can not get a car this fast, this
practical for this amount of money.
Quite possibly one of Ford's best
cars. If this was in Europe or the UK
the raving would never cease.

My 1999 ZX2 was great while it was
under warranty.. Just after that ran
out I had to repair my air
conditoner. Then about 8000 miles
after that I had to fix the wheel
bearing. Now 7000 miles later I hear a
noise in the front end. Still need to
get that looked at. I have loved the
car up till now. Still looks great.
The ride has always been nice(if you
only have one passenger with you and
no babiew to try to get into a car
seat).

I have owned the Ford ZX2 for 3 years
and have had zero problems. It
combines great highway fuel economy
with surpising performance. No other
car in this price range/age match it
cornering ablities on dry roads.

I was looking for a commuter car, got
that but also some extras. I found the
ZX2 to have suprising power, sufficient
comfort to take a 500 mile trip and to
hold its own at freeway speeds, bonuses
all. I am 6'4" and 225 lb and didn't
expect to get away with buying so small
a car. I have so much confidence in it
that I bought new tires warranteed for
100,000 miles!

This car has been nothing but trouble.
My sister has an eight year old escort
in better shape. After taking it for
repairs every few months, and it is
EXPENSIVE now that it is off warranty,
I am getting rid of this piece of
junk! Honda here I come

I have a 99 Escort SE and I hate it.
It is very uncomfortable. It is so slow
I have trouble pulling into freeway
traffic. Forget about anyone but very
small children riding in the back seat
for more than a couple minutes.

It is a very simple car. It isn't
powerful. It isn't very comfortable. I
can feel almost every bump in the
road. The A/C works like a dream on
freeways but not very well at a stop. I
put 58,000 miles on the car and have
had to put it in the shop twice. In
both instances, it was for a bad
alternator. If everything I have said
seems negative, keep in mind that this
car ran me $11,000 out the door. For
the money, this is the BEST car I have
had. If your purpose for purchasing a
car is a cheap, fairly dependable,
vehicle that will get you where you
need to go, then the Escort is it.

This has been a good little car. I've
had one problem(wheel bearing needed
replacing). It has 93,000 miles on it
and Knock wood no other problems. Now
my wife's 2000 focus on the other hand
has been pain with mutiple recalls.
Overall I'm satisfied with the 99
Escort.
