97 Ford Escort Lx Wagon

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 2008
The Bottom Line: Its a good buy.....can't wait till they return...in 2011
Review: This car, like any has both cons and pros-but We--well I like it. The kids are embarrassed about the colour - blue teal but I think its cool.
 They call it a "soccer mom's" car. I have a 91 Ford Escort lx and although its just a phone call away...

97 Ford Escort - Impressive? No. Reliable? Definitely!

Date of Review:  Jan 21, 2000
Review: The 1997 Ford Escort is highly reliable, but somewhat less impressive to be seen in than its distant cousin, the Mustang.

The compact has a very small turning radius, which, in city driving, is crucial. Another benefit for city drivers is...

Review: We have a 1997 Ford Escort. It has gone over 42K miles for us and is still running like new.

We got the car when our minivan crapped out decided something dependable but new would be the best thing for us. We chose a 4 door Escort with...

My favorite car to drive is the Ford Escort

Date of Review:  Mar 29, 2000
Review: My father bought a new ford Escort in 1997, it's a four door, snug-but-comfy kind of car. ^__^

There are many reasons why I like this car and would recommend it to friends. I like the size of the car, it is not a microcar, but it is also...

Great car for the money

Date of Review:  Sep 14, 2004
Review: In Oct.2000, I purchased a '97 Ford Escort LX, 4 door sedan. It drove very well, everything is fairly well laid out. Unless you get a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla, I would recommend a 5 speed over an automatic.When I purchased the car, it had...

Zoom Zam?

Date of Review:  Jul 16, 2001
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to a young family just starting out. It has good gas mileage, it handles nice and is reliable.

Ford Escort

Date of Review:  Oct 5, 2001
The Bottom Line: good car
Review: I bought it 12 months ago, and despite being an E reg it's still going strong. OK, so it doesn't have fancy gadgets to make the seats move, or electric windows etc, but as a little runaround it's excellent.
It doesn't use petrol like it's going...

A problem-free car

Date of Review:  Feb 2, 2000
Review: I received a Ford Escort as a present. It was a 1997 model, bought used in 1999. It was been an extremely reliable and useful car, plus I think it is a very attractive car. I have had no problems with it in over 10 months of ownership. It gets good...

I love my Escort

Date of Review:  Apr 4, 2000
Review: I bought a 1997 Ford Escort from a Ford Dealer last year. I bought the car when it had 28000 miles on it. A year and a half later, it has 59000 miles on it. I haven't ever had to take this car to the shop, outside of routine maintenance. I drove...
