Overview & Reviews

The aged Escort receives a few changes this year. On the outside, there are stylistic changes to its front and rear fascias, including standard foglamps. Inside, new cloth spruces up the seats, and the standard model receives a cassette player. Fifteen-inch wheels are standard on all models, and two new colors make their debut. For 2003, Ford has renamed the options packages "deluxe" and "premium." The deluxe package gets you a CD player, a leather-wrapped steering wheel that tilts, cruise control and map lights as standard equipment. Premium models also get power windows, locks and remote keyless entry. Finally, the in-dash six-disc CD changer is no longer available.

• Affordable price, standard 130-horsepower engine.

• Superior Ford Focus ZX3 competes in the same showroom, lack of cabin space, uncomfortable seats.

  For the Price, is the Best - 2003 Ford Escort
  By LHEAT - November 30 - 2:00 am

  I got the car brand new with a 2,000 dollar rebate (I paid 10,000) No other new car that is this good is going to cost you this low, I would rather spend 10,000 on a zx2, than 12,000 on a Focus that is hatchback (i dont know why Ford does not make them Cupes). They both have the same engine and they both run the same.

  great first car - 2003 Ford Escort
  By schmidt - November 28 - 2:00 am

  I bought this vehicle as my first car i bought it whith every option available. I love it! It handles great with alomst no body roll. It has great acceleration, I love racing it on the streets it has just the right amount of power. The only thing that I dont like about the car is that I think it should get better gas mileage for being such a small car and the interior looks to much like the escort sedan. It also handles great at speeds over 100 mph. I highly recomend this as a first car. Its a great car for the money. (So easy to burn rubber even with the auto!)
