You-Auto-Know The Ford Escort
The Ford Escort is a car for the family or for the one that wants their first sports car. It typically comes in three models; the Escort, Escort SE, and the Escort ZX2. The Escort and Escort SE models also are available as station wagons. The car is very roomy, especially the station wagon models, and drives smoothly. They are pretty good on gas getting about 29 miles per gallon (and that’s on the ZX2 sport automatic.) The car has a 4-cylinder engine and is front wheel drive making it a better choice for snow than the rear wheel drive sports car. Although this car sits low to the ground it has the power to push through the snow on the days we get ten inches. It also has very good handling for those times you are going a little too fast into a corner.
Not too many problems to report on these vehicles. Most of them experience an exhaust problem because most of the original owners really didn’t take care of them. The exhaust rust out and can cost a grand to fix. Also they experience rust problems on their rear axles and support arms. The base rusts away and the spring bounces around a lot making a very strange rattle. If it starts to go on one side chances are the other side is about to go too. If you are ready to replace one side, make sure you continue to save up your money so you can get the other side done as well. Like most people know, when you don’t have the money to fix it; that’s when it breaks.
Overall, this car is a well rounded, reliable vehicle. Most owners cannot say too much that is bad about them. Need a car? These cars are sold for very cheap prices from dealers and private sellers. So if you need a cheap car just to get to work and back, this would be a good pick.
