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.

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).Mar 22, 2010
