Pros: Sporty, Great Gas Mileage, Handles Well
Cons: Not good for rainy interstate driving.
Having spent the last two days about nonstop in my oldest daughter’s new car, I finally feel that I am qualified to write a review about her 1998 Ford Escort ZX2 Sport Coupe. My father took her shopping for her new car, and since he would be co-signing...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good performance, great mileage, comfortable and easy to drive, safe
Cons: Not enough room for four adults and luggage for long trips
The Bottom Line: It's a fine little car that will serve you well if you take care of it. You can't go wrong!
I find it hard to believe that it's been almost five years since I last saw my '98 Escort sedan. It was on a rollback truck headed for the junkyard after I was hit by an impaired driver. But my wife, two kids and I walked away without so much as a ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Very attractive car, responsive steering, braking, ACCELERATION!!!, the works
Cons: After market accessories are somewhat difficult to find. Recommend Ebay to ZX2 owners.
The Bottom Line: The bottom line is that ZX2's rock. When the time comes for me to get a new car, I'm going to look for another ZX2. These cars are awesome.
(PLEASE NOTICE THIS IS A REVIEW FOR A 1998 ESCORT ZX2. NOT A STANDARD ESCORT!!) Just recently early this year, I have the opportunity to purchase this fine automobile they call an escort ZX2. I previously owned a Geo Tracker which went completely bel ...

Pros: Fast, fun, reliable
Cons: Standard transmission is stiff; storage space is minimal when compared to old "hatchback" Escorts
I know, I know. The Escort isn't the most glamorous car out there. I, however, love my 1998 Escort ZX2, and I'll tell you why in a minute.
First, I should mention I've owned three Escorts and have had just about no trouble with them. I started...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Dependable, affordable, easy one the gas, nice looking.
Cons: Small interior, not a whole lot of leg room.
The Bottom Line: Although short on space, the 1998 Ford Escort is an eye candy of a car, with reliability to boot! It's easy on the wallet too!
After driving sport utilities for years, we decided it was time for a change of pace. We had tons of trouble with our Explorer's transmission, and the Blazer was a gas guzzler. We decided to go for a change of pace when choosing our current family...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliable, fuel efficient, low maintenance, fast acceleration on the city streets
Cons: Looks cheap, especially inside, slows to a crawl going uphill, not much interior space, noisy
The Bottom Line: If you want basic transportation - you can't go wrong with Escort.
If you need reliable, low maintenance and fuel-efficient vehicle, Ford Escort provides all these qualities. I rented 1998 Ford Escort LX Automatic for several weeks and it was trouble-free and very fuel-efficient.
The newer models have...

Pros: Fun, sporty, great add-ons available at a good cost.
Cons: Not meant for the tall driver.
I own a green 1998 Ford Escort ZX2. It wasn't even a consideration at first, as I was looking at other Ford models. But thanks to the great recommendation of my sales rep, I sat in the ZX2 and instantly fell in love.
Since I am a petite woman, the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Nimble, powerful, reliable, economical
Cons: Not for tall or large people
I bought this vehicle because I wanted a reliable, comfortable compact car with good power and handling. The good news is that it seems to be all of that.
The bad news is that the seats in the car were, apparently, designed for 5'2 people,...

Pros: reliable, great gas mileage!
Cons: none!
Okay. When I was in highschool and turned 16 I couldn't wait to get my first car! Well, like most 16 year old girls, you dream of getting the sporty, cherry-red, convertible type of car. Well people, I didn't get it!! What I got was a used 1990 Ford...

Pros: Good gas mileage, stylish
Cons: sound system could be better
I remember when I was younger and my brother had what was at the time a new Ford Escort. Now from what I remember it was not what you would call stylish in the least. When I turned 16, though, I succumbed to the inexpensiveness of Ford's staple...

Pros: Attractive, lots of power, good gas mileage
Cons: Need to have window tinting and open trunk from inside of car
Okay, that's just what my daughter says, "vroom, vroom." Well, I must agree. This car has quite a bit of power. I was 5 months pregnant when we bought this in December of '97. We were pretty excited to have a brand new 1998 model. Ours is...

Pros: cheap, gas mileage
Cons: uncomfortable, handles poorly
This was the first car I got when I turned 16, and I haven't liked it one bit since then. Sure it's cheap, and it gets good gas mileage, but it is not comfortable and does not handle well under bad conditions. This past winter I went out one day to go...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: quality at a very affordable price as well as very fun to drive
Cons: touchy clutch , for the first few days you will be laying black marks 'til you get used to it
We all recall the older version of the Ford Escort, simply it was just a compact car, no frills, nothing remarkable in any way. IF your in the market for a reasonably priced, even sporty not to compact sub compact then you need to check out the new...

Pros: awesome freeway car
Cons: not for speed demons
Why did I buy this vehicle?
My previous car was having problems. I needed a reliable car because I commuted to a college 27 miles away. I went shopping for used cars, but the dealership in my hometown (in Northern California), offered 0.9%...
