Pros: Smooth ride, great gas mileage.
Cons: It is gone. Sigh.
The Bottom Line: Out of all the cars I have owned, this one has been the most trouble free and I would definitely buy another Ford Escort.
Last fall we paid a visit to a local auto auction and ended up coming home with four cars, to the tune of about $5000. (Okay I realize that normal people do NOT buy four cars in one day. We were looking for a car for our daughter and ourselves - the plan ...

Pros: Value for Money, Interior Space, Trunk Space.
Cons: Engine/Road/Wind Noise, "Plasticky" Interior, Twitchy in Side Winds
The Bottom Line: I thought it had the heart of a Japanese car. *grin*
Edited November 14th 2003: I incorrectly stated that this car has a Mazda engine which has been pointed out to me as a false statement. I was led to believe that this version had the Mazda 323/Protege engine but it is in fact only the chassis that is f ...

Pros: Just about everything
Cons: They aren't making them anymore
Now first off my title might be a bit misleading. Owning an Escort doesn’t make you spoiled by any means. Its not like my parents went out and bought me luxury car or anything. As a matter of fact...my parents didn’t go out and buy me anything, I bought...

Pros: gas milage, VERY dependable, comfortable
Cons: plain jane kinda car, crapy sound system
The Bottom Line: Highly recomended for anyone that wants a car that will last and is cheap on gas. kinda sporty, but for the most part a normal car.
I bought my escort in 2001. It had 41000 miles. When I first looked at this car with its racing stripes and being a ford, I thought 'what idiot would buy this junk'. Then one day i was bored and decided to give it a test drive. I fell in love. I mean any ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Excellent gas mileage, durable
Cons: None that I can think of.
The Bottom Line: See review
First and foremost I own the regular escort, not the sports package model, or the wagon model. I understand that this specific car was introduced better than seven years ago, but I wanted to attest to the quality of the car years after it was ...

Pros: A sporty little pocket rocket that can accommodate big drivers.
Cons: Somewhat cheap feeling, noisy, and rough-edged.
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for an economical yet sporty car, particularly if you have trouble fitting in such cars, take a look at a ZX2. It's a fun little car.
In my quest for my next daily driver, I've been test driving a handful of different cars before I commit to buying one. This is my initial impression of the Escort ZX2.

This car easily meets my most important...

Pros: Good dealer promotions on this high-selling auto; Reliable!
Cons: It won't win friends or influence people-- but does that matter?
I bought my Ford Escort new almost one year ago and have driven it approximately 12,000 miles. Before I bought it, I also looked at similarly priced compacts such as the Saturn and Neon. When the Ford dealer sweetened the deal with another discount in...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Sporty without the sporty price. An economy, two door that will still carry five passengers. A trunk that holds $300.00 in groceries, and then begs for more. Great gas mileage on both the interstate and in-city roads.
Cons: Passenger airbag which forces my 12 year old to sit in the back seat.
I am, still, the proud owner of a 1999 Ford Escort ZX2. I was forced to sell the lease of a car, which I had come to adore, because of relocating from a lower southern state to a very northern one. I was definitely not a happy camper. When it comes to...

Pros: Driveability, styling
Cons: Luggage space
The 1999 Ford Escort, while no barn-burner, is a dependable car with a little flair. I have an SE Sport edition with manual transmission, which is identical to the base car except for a serving-platter rear spoiler and 14-inch alloy wheels. I bought the...

Pros: very dependable, I love it
Cons: none
My 1999 Ford Escort is the first new car I've ever had. I've been through a couple of used clunkers, but this is the first new one, so maybe my opinion is a little biased. After all, I have had no other new cars to compare it with, but I'll give it me...

Pros: trunk space, automatic everything
Cons: engine noise
My husband and I were looking for a new vehicle(our first) and decided on a Ford Escort. The price was right between eleven and twelve thousand dollars, and the four doors are appropriate for a family of four. The back seat fits 2 car seats, but not much...

Pros: Sporty styling, Great acceleration & handling.
Cons: Seatbelt position, Cycling of A/C compressor.
I am 19 years old and have had my ZX2 for a little over a year. I'm happy to say that it has proved to be quite reliable. When I went looking for my first car my father and I looked at every conceivable small car on the market; Tercel, Corolla,...

Pros: Gas-mileage, dependable, price, roomy
Cons: You won't get a cadillac ride
I have owned 4 Escorts, and have been very happy with all of them. You have to understand the Escort is a compact car, so you will not get unbelievable power or a cadillac-ride. But if your looking for the best-riding, roomiest, dependable,...

Pros: Sporty. Quick. Looks Great!
Cons: Could be more comfortable..
I commute over a hundred miles a day for work, therefore I needed to have a reliable car. When I turned 18, I decided to purchase a 1996 Grand Am. I really enjoyed the car, however by 1999, I had 85,000 miles on the car. The blue book was $4,500, however...

Well now fast food places have designed a cup that eliminates the leaning tower of pizzia drink problem. I also hit a dear with my car I managed to swerve & only hit it with the front passenger side of my car. There was just a...
