Depreciating Asset

2002 Ford Escort ZX2 Deluxe 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
I actually purchased the automatic deluxe model and wish I had the manual transmission. This car is extremely under powered. Both window seals leak air when driving at highway speeds. The engine vibrates severely at stoplights due to faulty engine mounts (Per Ford Service Techs) The body style is great, good handling, dependable, but - lacks horsepower, expect HUGE depreciation loss! I Tried trading in my 2002 ZX2 for something better but found out that it had depreciated 60% in 4 months. Most dealers only offer $7,000 tops on trade.
FORDS BEST KEPT SECRET

THIS IS THE BEST 2 DR COUPE FORD HAS EVER MADE, THEY SHOULD SCRAP THE FOCUS ZX3. THE ZX2 NEEDS TO BE KEPT IN PRODUCTION AND REFINED OVER THE YEARS. IT HAS A CLASSIC STYLE WHICH WILL WEAR WELL. THIS CAR HAS MUCH IN COMMON WITH THE ORIGINIAL 65 MUSTANG. THE FOCUS ALREADY HAS A REPUTATION FOR POOR WORKMANSHIP. I HAVE NEVER KNOWN A ZX2 OWNER WITH ANY SIGNIFIGANT PROBLEMS!!
I must have got a lemon

I bought a 1998 XZ2 in the spring of 1997. I have had continual problems with the brake system throughout the life of the car. I've had it back to the dealer at least 5 times for the same intermittant clunking noise, that the dealer can't seem to pin down. I've gone through two sets of rotors in 40,000 miles. In April of this year, the timing belt jumped off, for no known reason, to the tune of $700 repair work (it is out of warranty). That should not have happened at only 38,000 miles. The radio on-off switch is malfunctioning, half the time the radio won't shut off.
ZX2 is the greatest!

I bought my ford Zx2 a few weeks ago and I think it's all excellent. There isn't any other car that can compare up to the ZX2. It's great in the styling, the fuel, everything. Edmunds shouldn't downgrade the ZX2, they don't even know what their talking about.
I like my ZX2 ok

Well, if you're wondering what the purpose of the ZX2 is and how it's superior to the Focus ZX3, I'll tell you... it's a great looking car. People look at mine all the time and say that they can't believe that it's a Ford Escort. But its performance is limited. But then again, it's a very inexpensive car that's obviously made to look good.
