2003 Ford Escort ZX2 Review
ProsStylish, fun to drive ConsAutomatic clutch has shown signs of premature wear, high purchase cost

Ford Escort? Cool! — It's cool, comfortable, sporty, quick but not fast, it's a nice fit for our family with 2 children. It's the WRC (World Rally Cup Edition) with the ground effect spoilers. Very nice! It has cruise, and is a nice driving car. The suspension is very nice, the handling is very good. It's peppy, and fun to drive. I dislike that the clutch shows signs of letting go after only a year and 7000km. The rear center seatbelt jammed up. The dealer experience was good, but the selling price was high. For $25000, some people might have felt it was exhorbitant for a 3-door coupe. If you keep the mileage low, and don't mind paying the extra, (and feel you have to buy North American) then it's a good buy. I expect the maintenance costs will be high if we hang onto it for several years. We rust-check it twice per year.

Prosnot too many people have them Consi wish they changed the entire body style, instead of leaving the rear end the same as the others

2003 Ford Escort Zx2 — the overall performance of the car is awesome. it handles extremely well, acceleration is pretty decent, and the motor runs nice and smooth. although it is a bit rough on suspension its not too bad. the appearance is great and not to many people own this style. gas mileage is magnificent city and highway and keeping regularly scheduled maintenance is not too expensive. this car is definitely fun to drive but as i read in another review it tends to attract other sports car in which this one does not compare too lol. | ||

ProsFun to drive, fuel economy, parts availability ConsNot the greatest reliability, just OK acceleration, stock tires.

Escort Zx2 (lead Footer) — This car handles nimbly, probably due to the light weight, but the stock tires don't have very much grip and the suspension is soft (when stock). The car is fun to drive on the whole though, especially when modified even a little. Acceleration isn't neck-snapping, but its better than what you would expect from its 130hp (again, this probably has to do with the light (<2500 lbs) weight and short gearing). Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

ProsEverything ConsNone

Ford Escort — It is a amazing car, with a very well made interior, a very good engine, and a solid structure. Very stable and balanced, with a high engine compression, excelent brakes and a very good acceleration. I've changed the clutch kit, and added 18" wheells. Excellent car to travel, and enjoy rides when stressed. | ||

Prosgreat car Consbad tires

My Baby — what i hated is the black leather interior. it was gorgeous, but damn, in the summer that thing was hotter than hell, and in the winter it was sooooo cold! it also needed new tires. other than that, it had awesome bass system, it was really just an overall great car. | ||

Prosgreat mileage/performance combo, not on every street block, and does not require excess modifications ConsLoud, poor ride height, sporty exterior attracts too many faux-racers.
