Has sides like butter - 1997 Ford Aspire
By Tia Chang - March 20 - 2:00 amThe transmission on my car went at 50,000, and the dealer wouldnt replace it. One person ran into it (just with his body, not a car) and left a big dent in the side. The air conditioning went out at 75,000 miles. The salt on the roads has eroded the muffler and loosened the catalytic converter cap, no matter how often I get it replaced. On the plus side, it gets great gas mileage, and you can fit a surprising amount into it. Also can park it in very tight spots.

Cheap car , cheap car, cheap car. - 1997 Ford Aspire
By faceplanter - March 11 - 2:00 amIf you just want to get from point A to B with no frills, this is it. Loud on the free way, really loud in the rain. Headlight/park lights quit working at 90k miles due to corroded wires. Main seal went at 100k on passenger side causing passenger side brake rotor to warp. Back of car covered in soot. Engine is a 1.3 litre 4 cylinder thats weak. If mine had A/C, doubt the engine could turn it. The plus? Easy on the gas and can go forever on tires.

106,000 and goin strong! - 1997 Ford Aspire
By Skippys Driver - November 11 - 2:00 amThis car has been extremely reliable for my 250 mile weekly commute. Yes, its the most gutless car Ive ever owned but having the manual transmision helps. Fun to drive (for its class), holds the road suprising well driving through water on the highway. Have been rear ended twice with marginal damage. I get 31-38 mpg. Wish there were more comparable models available as Im getting up in mileage.

Fun Car - 1997 Ford Aspire
By Bessie - February 17 - 2:00 amI got this car when I moved from PA to NC. One of my gripes, no air conditioning. It has been very reliable getting me around town and on road trips. Its been from PA to FLA and from NC to PA many, many times. I have 69,000 miles on her now, and weve only been to the dealership for oil changes and fender bender fixes. I have been sandwiched between two cars in a nasty accident two years ago, and my car is still going strong. It would be nice to make it up an incline at a decent pace, but it just allows me to enjoy the scenery a little more. Overall, great car. Im going to miss it when I buy new. Especially the gas mileage.

The Durable Starter Car - 1997 Ford Aspire
By Vegete - January 7 - 2:00 amFor someone looking for something to get you here and there, this would be a decent pick, expecially if youre young. The gas milage is incredible, and you dont have to worry about knocking it around a bit (handled 2 rear end collisions). Its definetly not a car you want to be driving if youre in a hurry (not even 70hp!). Passing on the highway can be a hassle unless youre already going at a much higher speed than the person in front of you (for this reason, I suggest a manual transmission). Overall, its decent.

Looks can be deceiving! - 1997 Ford Aspire
By jstar - September 15 - 2:00 amI bought my ford aspire a little over a year ago with the intention of it lasting a few years. boy was I wrong!!! The car looked great appearance wise, but after two weeks of driving it everything started to go wrong!!! It stalls when I stop at a stop light, it stalls trying to go up hills at too slow a speed... its a nightmare to drive!! on the upside... when i moved into my apartment i fit almost all of by boxes into it!!!
