2003 Ford Escort Preview summaryImage

The last of a classic breed, the 2003 Ford Escort was the final model in one of the automaker's top-selling economy lines.

The popular subcompact was designed as a low-cost family car. The '03 Escort was offered in two bodystyles: a four-door sedan and the sporty ZX2 coupe. Buyers had a choice among standard, Premium, and Deluxe trim levels.

One engine, a 2.0 liter inline-4 with a 110-horsepower output, was available for the '03 Ford Escort. 5-speed manual transmission came standard, and 4-speed automatic transmission was an option.

Although it wasn't long on power, the 2003 Escort sure was thrifty at the pump. With an EPA estimated mileage per gallon of 25 highway/33 city, the Escort's fuel efficiency was one of its best features.

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.Sep 24, 2008

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.
