2000 Ford Escort Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, Ford Escort owners have a positive view of their cars, appreciating the quick performance, safety features, and the fun factor. Many drivers enjoyed the handling and economy, while some were disappointed with the loss of power when the A/C is on and the car's interior space. Modifications seem to enhance the driving experience, leading to increased enjoyment for some."
This started out as little more than basic transportation. With some after market additions, it actually turned out to be a fun car. It was also a pretty good looking cheap car. In stock form, the intake design kills power by straving the twin cam engine of air! The skinny little stock wheels and tires ruin any handling the car may have. With a new air intake system, and bigger wheels and tires, this car was surprising. It handled very well, and with a engine that could breathe, it had a lot more useable power! The 5-speed transmission was nothing special, but it was essential to wringing out the maximum performance of the engine. This car with the Automatic transmission was worthless! Note: these modifications are exactly the same mods Ford made to the SR version of this car! Where this car was lacking was in useable interior space. Headroom was limited, and rear seat room was a joke!
August 24, 2009Pretty good performance for a car in it's class. Handles well given the skinny tires. Build quality is pretty solid, the oly major repair I've had to do was a transmission overhaul, part of which might just be the way I drive the car. Get's good gas mileage(~30) when I don't have my foot to the floor(which is most of the time). Compared to a lot of cars my friends own, this is definitely more fun to drive.

March 10, 2012Another of the Escort family it was a burgandy Ghia model 1.8 all leather interior lots of toys and fake walnut so it looked the part and made you feel richer than you were. I liked it, nippy, smart, good in the corners and aircon to boot.
June 28, 2009This car gets me anywhere I want to go and never gives me a problem. It has power and can do burn out on the road. This car means everything and is a blast. I prefer you to get a car like this.
May 21, 2010Cool little car impressive faster than it looks and faster than advertised, smokes lots of imports and handles good to. Like my Focus but kinda faster.
April 10, 2008this car had a lot of modifications. mainly because stock completely sucked, but modded was a great, fun car. very tough and reliable. looked and sounded great. was expensive to build, but the car was cheap, so all in all not bad price for what she was.
