i have a red two-door 1998 Ford Escort ZX2 Sport bought brand new and it only has a little over 50,000 miles on it and this jewel has never given me any problem. my husband is excellent in taking great care of our cars and this one has been babied since the day we purchased it. he put a K&N filter on it and Borla exhaust & it runs real fast. it doesn't use oil and the oil stays clean on it. too bad they discontinued making it in 2003. my husband loves it so much, he bought a brand new silver one in 2003 and we couldn't be any happier in having these two wonderful, dependable cars. you...
