Bought This Car Brand New 9 Years Ago And It Just
bought this car brand new 9 years ago and it just turned over 100,000 miles and it's still the best car i've ever owned. if they still made them, i'd buy another. never had any problems with it. just routine maintenance. it still gets great gas mileage, gets up and moving quickly for a small car and is still a fun car to drive. i highly recommend getting one with the 5 speed manual. it's a blast to drive!

The Ford Escort Was The First Manual Transmission
The Ford Escort was the first manual transmission car I ever drove and it is rubbish! The gears stick constantly, the seats are uncomfortable, the acceleration allows you to go from 0-70 in about 20 minutes as everyone else on the road drives by honking and screaming and, worst of all, it's designed for giants. I am a small individual and even with the seat all the way forward I can't push the clutch down properly unless I wear giant platform shoes.
All in all, I cheered when my husband got rid of his Escort and bought something better.
Can't really agree on this one - I'm 6ft2 and find the car too small for me. My wife is 5ft6 and finds this fine. Saying that, I'm not all that keen on the car itself and want another Merc.
I also own an escort, I love the car but again at 5 foot 3 I have the same clutch problem, if clutch extensions are available i'd love one.
I agree with your review, I had to borrow my boyfriends Escort for a couple of weeks, I normally drive a Vauxhall Corsa. I am 5ft 3" and I found the seats to be really low, I couldn't see the road vey well, I also had the clutch problem. I felt like I was driving a tank!

This Is The Worst Car Ever. Ford Sucks.
This is the worst car ever. Ford sucks.
I feel that this person may of had an iscolated experience. This is a fine car and ford does not suck. Ford Rules!
um this is 4x4 offroaders, a ford escort is not built for offroading so no wonder yours gave up if you were using for offroading, try an explorer
