2001 Ford Escort ZX2

Pros: Peppy, fuel efficient engine; surprising interior size and comfort; nice handling.

Cons: Automatic transaxle downshifts a lot on hills; stiff suspension can give a rough ride.

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...

Pros: gas mileage, maneuverability, safety.

Cons: windshield wipers replaced frequently

The Bottom Line: Wonderful choice if you have one small child or less or do a lot of out of state travel.

Review: My first car was a 1989 Ford Escort that had been given to me by my sister which was given to her by her first boyfriend, who had purchased to car brand new. He managed to purchase to car for 500 dollars. I had the car for only a short time, six ...

Pros: Cute, sporty, sexy profile, peppy response time, great handling, and a roomy, comfortable interior.

Cons: If you like to slam the gas, count on lots of tire rotations and replacements.

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...

Pros: Zero problems, great gas mileage, outraces Civics & Neons!

Cons: Passenger space (but it is a compact car after all), resale value, brakes weak.

The Bottom Line: This is an absolutely perfect, sporty compact car because it's cheap, great-looking, gets awesome gas mileage, and will never see the mechanic for repairs.

Review: This was my first new car and I couldn't be happier. I thought I'd write a review before I traded it in because it is time I get a more family-oriented car. Newlywed, baby fever, you get the idea... I was a bit wary when I found out the car was made ...

Pros: Styling, performance, value, comfort--almost everything!

Cons: Limited space, trunk-mounted cd changer, engine a tiny bit noisy

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...

Pros: Powerful DOHC 2.0L provides high performance acceleration. With minor upgrades the engine will roar.

Cons: Interior cloth pattern is blah.

The Bottom Line: You'll find these cars at bargain prices compared to the competition. Good luck finding another car that looks this good with a DOHC vct engine for less.

Review: This car is fast! With a dual overhead cam, vct engine typically found in high performance vehicles this car is loaded with potential. One thing however, I consider the automatic a waste of money. Go with the standard transmission because this car is...

Pros: Cheap and economical. Very good power level.

Cons: Manual transmission could be designed better. Rear drum brakes. A bit noisy at freeway speeds.

The Bottom Line: This car offers a great price/performance ratio, is solidly built, and will not disappoint the sport compact car buyer.

Review: In 1998, I came off my lease of a 1995 Taurus GL 3.8. I was looking for a car with much more get up and go, plus I wanted to go back to driving a car with a manual transmission. I was considering a used Taurus SHO but the insurance would have been...

Pros: Dependable, comphy interior space

Cons: Picks up speed slow.

The Bottom Line: I love my car, and I haven't had any problems with it, it's good on gas, and it's comfortable.

Review: I have a 4-door Ford Escort SE, they didn't have a review section for it so I'm putting it here. I'v ...

Pros: Great Looking Car, Lots of Room, Sporty Look. Pretty Fast.

Cons: Nothing Really wrong with the cars.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this to anyone, Great Car, Great look, Good on Gas, Smooth Ride, just a really great Car.

Review: The Ford Escort zx2 is a great car for a person that does not want a big one, or it would be a perfect car for a person just learning how to drive.

The Ford Escort ZX2 Looks Sporty and Most people these days like cars to look sporty....

Pros: It is a excellent car.

Cons: There are no cons that I can think of at the moment. It is planly a wonderful and exciting car!

Review: I just recently received a Ford Escort ZX2 as a birthday gift. I was over-whelmed to take it out for the first time! It is very cute and sporty at the same time making it a automatic winner. I love the cute shape of the outside of the car as well as...
