2001 Ford ZX2: Our new compact "road rocket!"

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: Great little car for singles, couples, and small families!
Review: Last weekend, we finally did it. For the first time in ten years, we bought a new car...

The time was right for us. Financially, we could afford it; our ancient and venerable 1991 Honda Accord LX, with nearly 118,000 miles on it, seemed to...

Z Me Drive By Lately?

Date of Review:  Apr 10, 2001
The Bottom Line: It's still an Escort, but a lot more fun. Looking for a Lexus? Spend more. Looking for a dependable car that won't cost you a lot? You found it.
Review: Update November, 2006
Well, the Z finally got traded in. After driving it for six years, 150,000 miles, I decided it was time for it to go to a nice college student who wouldn't take long road trips. My review still stands…heck, the car...

My Escort ZX2 saves me from turning into Chris Farley...

Date of Review:  Jun 27, 2007
The Bottom Line: A good value for the things I need from my car - decent mileage, decent room, responsive driving.
Review: Remember Chris Farley's inspirational speaker character, the guy with the big glasses who said he was "living in a van, down by the river?"

For a long time, I feared that might be me.

I've driven a Plymouth Grand Voyager to work...

Somewhere a sewing machine is missing its motor.

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2001
The Bottom Line: A lousy highway car but acceptable for jaunting about town running errands. Workmanship is acceptable, as is most of the design. If you can, though, get a manual transmission.
Review: (Author's note -- this is not a review of the ZX2, it's a review of the 4-door SE, for which there is no category even though there are 2 categories for the ZX2. Be forewarned.)

There's not a single thing wrong with driving a small car --...

2001 Ford Escort ZX2

Date of Review:  Oct 27, 2000
Review: I bought my ZX2 almost 3 weeks ago. My '88 Volkswagon Golf GL decided to sulk and hit me with a potential $1,100 repair bill. I had already sunk over $2,000 in repairs on it in the two years I have owned it and I was always worried about something...

Ford's Underpowered Sports Car

Date of Review:  Oct 1, 2001
The Bottom Line: This car isn't nearly as agressive as it looks, but it's beauty is definately more than skin deep. Everyone can enjoy driving this car, but not everyone should buy one.
Review: About 6 months ago, I purchased a brand new 2001 ZX2 right off the lot, and since then I've learned a whole lot about cars, including one thing: This car tricked me into buying it.
It has a sleek, sexy exterior, as well as a playfully agressive...

Do not buy this car!

Date of Review:  Jan 21, 2005
The Bottom Line: Do not buy this car. The inexpensive price tag seems nice, but with all of the money spent in repairs, you can get a reliable car.
Review: This is the most awful car I have ever owned.
Right now it has 57,000 miles on it, so I don't expect it to run like a brand new sports car, but this is awful! It's first breakdown was only after 7 months, with only 10,000 miles on it! It has...

sporty and economical...a great combination

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2006
The Bottom Line: affordable economy car for singles and small families
Review: My 1999 Ford Escort ZX2 was a hand me down from my older brother three years ago. Unbelievably, he was very good to it even though he was 16 when he got it. It came standard with an AM/FM radio and cassette which he promptly switched out for a CD...

Date of Review:  Nov 12, 2000
Review: What a sporty little car! It looks cool and drives great. This little baby caught my eye as soon as it came off Ford's assembly line 3 years ago. Sporty, yet economical, it's a great budget buy for a young person. The body styling is aggressive and...

Under 30? Less than $12000? = ZX2

Date of Review:  Mar 5, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you get this car cheap give it some serious thought. Otherwise spend a little more for a Civic or a little less for an Accent.
Review: I just graduated from college, moved to a new city, and needed a car. I didn't want very much: just a cheap car with good gas mileage. I was willing to sacrifice looks, endure insults from friends, even deal with some visits to the shop...in short I...
