2003 Ford Escort ZX2 Reviews

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.

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.    

If it weren't for bad luck, my car would be on the zx2 song on youtube. I thought you knew? If you buy a subcompact that is a better deal, your lying.

It was small and great on gas but every 1000 miles you have to take it in and service the engine because of a large amount of power lose.  Very annoying.
