  Ford Aspire 1995 - 1995 Ford Aspire
  By four wheels - August 3 - 9:26 pm

  I had a five speed Ford Aspire and it went about 39-40 mpg. It was peppy in the city and adequate on the highway, also it was fun to drive. Id recommed it to save gas.

  Great MPG car! - 1995 Ford Aspire
  By Bill - September 4 - 12:21 pm

  Purchased this car used at 72k miles. No mechanical problems in last 5 years. Just regular maintenance. Great gas mileage at 36 highway, with no air conditioning, about 28 in town. Air conditioning really lowers the gas mileage. Not the most attractive and no power steering, but beats high car payments and always starts.

  used Ford Aspire - 1997 Ford Aspire
  By arlene - June 1 - 7:53 pm

  Bought this car used, paid $500 for it - put $800 into it for repairs, well worth it. I drive it in central Florida were it belongs (no hills). My only fault I find is the fuel tank only holds 10 gallons and I have to stop every four days to fill it up. If we have to get out of our area, we would never reach the next state without stopping twice for gas.

  fun little car - 1997 Ford Aspire
  By bigmike86 - July 3 - 1:59 am

  I have owned this car for over 2 years and have had very few problems with it. Im rather happy with it with the exception of the road noise and lack of high end power. But all an all it is a worthwhile, inexpensive car to keep.

  Good Car - 1995 Ford Aspire
  By kat - March 19 - 12:39 am

  This is a fun little car. Great gas mileage (40mpg). Bought it used and has been Super reliable, Not had "any" problems, not replaced anything except tires and wipers. Handles well and good power and good brakes. Kinda funny looking from the outside (wife calls it an egg with wheels), but roomy and comfortable on the inside.

  Ultra-Mega Reliable and Cheap to run - 1994 Ford Aspire
  By Andrikos - September 17 - 2:00 am

  Well, Ive been driving it since it had 30k miles on it. Now it has 92k and has NEVER had any problems. Starts EVERY single time and does 40mpg to boot. Nothing better for a "beater" to drive to work. Im looking to buy a used Mercedes and I cringe at the prospect of maintenance costs. I guess the "little red car" has spoiled me rotten...

  A good car... for the price. - 1995 Ford Aspire
  By J Bourdeaux - May 7 - 2:00 am

  It has been a fine car, great on gas mileage, even now at 121K, I still average 36 MPG. But with that great MPG, power is sacrificed, which is to be expected. Consumer Reports correctly stated that the Aspire is painfully underpowered. Although I can zip in and out of traffic, I cant accelerate up steep hills. It has been relatively maintenance free. In 8 years, Ive replaced the tires two or three times, struts twice (I guess I hauled too much with all the room in the back), brakes once, exhaust, headlights, rotor, cap, and timing belt. The road noise is somewhat pronounced. Overall, its been reliable, a fine investment, and has served me very well.

  cheap transportation - 1994 Ford Aspire
  By Breanna - March 22 - 2:00 am

  I have owned this car for almost 4 years. I have had problems with the following: does not like to start in the rain, change plugs and wires yearly, passenger side door & hatch leaks in the car wash, front bushings (very expensive part), and the gas tank and related items. I think it’s a good car if you can get scrap parts, as new parts are VERY expensive . I bought the car with 90,000 KM in the year 2000 and it has 145,000 KM now, it has cost me about $70 CND a month to maintain over the 43 months I have owned it. Good cheap transportation if you don’t have far to drive.

  Great, reliable car - 1995 Ford Aspire
  By heidi16 - March 1 - 2:00 am

  We have never had major problems with this car except a transmission replacement at 120,000 miles. Other than that, only routine maintenance. Very roomy on the inside. Overall, we have been impressed with the performance. It has a small engine, but we knew that when we bought it. It has been the only vehicle we have owned for 8.5 years.
