  Misunderstood Vehicle - 1997 Ford Aspire
  By K.C. Courier - October 22 - 2:59 am

  I am a courier and have used this vehicle for 7 years. Upkeep has been low for a very heavy demand car. Gas mileage is still very close to 40mpg on mainly a city driving route. AC is excellent but has required upkeep. Visibility is excellent with higher clearance. Speed to 70 mph is comfortable but gets rough past that. The Aspire is cheap to purchase and operate. You must maintain this vehicle with proper care - if you do it will take good care of you. Do not allow transmission fluid or engine oil to get low. Front axles are cheap and should be maintained. At 198,000 I have not had to do any major engine work. This little car still hums and with the 5 speed my acceleration is fine.

  My Putt-Putt Puddle Jumper - 1994 Ford Aspire
  By dward - May 4 - 2:00 am

  My parents didnt know how to drive a 5 speed so the car sat in their yard for a year. It was mine for the cost of safetying. Since then Ive spent on nothing but upkeep. I love the car for the city, but I find performance on the highway lacking. Ive had no problem with rust or major repairs and I live on the ocean in the snow belt. Ive driven more than 450kms on one tank (about 15kms/L or 60m/G). It costs more for a metro bus pass than it does to run my little Putt-Putt Grasshopper Puddle Jumper for a month. My friends tease me but they say, the more nicknames you have for something, the more you must like it. I love it.

  Very reliable, Great little car - 1996 Ford Aspire
  By Erikvi - February 22 - 2:00 am

  Incredeable interior space. When you take out the back seats (remove 4 bolts) you can use it as a mini-mini van. Gas mileage is a little disappointing. Fun to drive. Very comfortable seats. Lots of leg room (I am 6ft-2". I can stretch my legs. Hardly any trouble after 155,000 miles!!

  Inexpensive, reliable FUN!!! - 1996 Ford Aspire
  By AspireChick - April 5 - 2:00 am

  One review of the Aspire summed it up as BULLETPROOF. I concur with that. My car has 116,000 miles on it and I have done NOTHING to it, other then change oil & filter, and air filter. NOTHING else has been touched. While the 63 ponies under the hood my not break your neck accelerating, it does however manage to get you around decently.

  1994 Ford Aspire - 1994 Ford Aspire
  By dkhenning - March 16 - 2:00 am

  I drove this car for over 165,000 miles and, other than about $2000 in repairs, I never had to do anything except the customary LOFs, tune-ups and muffler rapairs. Mileage was still in the 35- mpg range, while acceleration was very good for a four-cylinder five-speed. A few weeks ago, another driver hit my car from behind, totaling it, and I had a very hard time letting it go.

  The ultimate car - 1995 Ford Aspire
  By Jason65644 - November 26 - 2:00 am

  This is one of the best cars that i have owned and driven. Not only does it cost me to fill up $17(cdn), it gets me through the week--and i drive a lot. The odometer is at 165,231 and the car still runs like new. Had to replace Nothing....not even the battery..I would highly recommend it as a second car or a first car to anyone and everyone.

  I give it a 10!!! - 1995 Ford Aspire
  By Annie Buchmiller - September 9 - 2:00 am

  I am the second owner of my 95 Ford Aspire, and I LOVE it! I have only had routine maintance on my car, oil changes and such. I have 133k miles on this bad boy and it is still going strong. I will drive this until it dies. I have just been looking around at vehicles so I will know what I want when the time comes and I do belive it will be a KIA, Aspires are made by KIA. I just cant say it enough I LOVE MY KIA!
