I bought this car new in 1995, in Omaha,NE. I now live in VA. It has been the best car I have ever owned. I have close to 500,000 miles. It has never let me down. I wish I could find a car as great has this one.

I have had this car since the summer. I have had to fix it quite a bit, not because its a bad car but because the person before did nothing to the car and its older, its a 1994 Ford Escort LX. However after I did all the changes to the car it runs runs great for its age. Its incredibly comfortable in the seats. The trunk is very open and big. Its nice that you can access the trunk from inside the car you can pop down both sides of the seat. Because my car is older it as automatic seat belts which is very nice so you dont need to worry about putting your seatbelt on. Its a great car overall. I would recommened it.

I have owned many different types of cars; American, imports, big, small, 4 cyl, 6 in line, V6 and V8 cars, but none come close in overall comfort and reliability as the mid 1990s Escorts with the amazing transversal 1.9 fuel injection engine, the smooth automatic transmission and the power seat belts, these are one of a kind. I have been driving them since the 90s when I rented one at Washington DC airport Dec. 1995 and drove all over the area up to NYC and back. Then I bought one which came with 5 speed the softest clutch I ever experienced in my entire life. Escorts are spacious inside super comfortable for 4 people, and I have put 7 suitcases one time in my SW version which lasted many years until a fire destroyed the car. The manual original was mine for 15 years until a drunk driver rear-ended me at 80 mph and though the car kept running fine for a year after that the DMV did not renew the tag as the trunk was damaged yet the Escort protected me and my daughter not catching fire or getting hurt. I wish these were in production today, they still run like they are recently made nearly 30 years after leaving the production line !
Hi I am interested in escort gt I had that style some years ago an I already missed them in action so if the price is beyond the book value then I guess I need to locate my mission so may I ask the price for this vehicle
it is one of the best car of 1992. Ford is an european company that makes perfect designs for every car and truck. I had a ford escort and I only replaced its engine from usaautopartsllc.com . it is one of the most supplier of used engines and transmissions in the united states. where I found the perfect match for my vehicle.

Body rusting

Fun to drive, simple to operate, roll down window
Slow acceleration
My Ford escort station was a great car. Front wheel drive. It handle Michigan and Ohio Winters like a champ. Low on horse power but very dependable. I have been searching for a new car similar to the escort.

Totaled '99 in 2015 @ 203k miles. :( The car LOVE of my life for 10+ yrs! <3 Searched for another & found this li'l guy, a worthy, temporary replacement. I'll ALWAYS miss my baby [the '99] tho. More room & better features.
This car has served me well since 2000 when I bought it. I wish I could find another small station wagon like it!
Very dependable and economical to drive.

Owned this car for 16 years. Bought it for $3,000. I'm 73 and have owned many expensive and fancy sport cars in my life! This car is very reliable! It gets 40mpg hwy and 32mpg through the North Georgia Mountains! I've only replaced normal things like timing belts, struts, radiator, hoses, brakes, etc. I take real good care of it. Oil and filter is changed every 4,000 miles and have always added Marvel Mystery Oil to the gas! I've done this for decades with all my cars and have gotten at least 300,000 miles doing this and probably gotten another 300,000 miles! This car still looks brand new! My annual tax is a whooping $8.50! I'd rather spend my money elsewhere!
