This Year's Model Updates:

The Ford Escort is totally redesigned this year with improvements across the board. The most noticeable improvements are in the powertrain and ride quality. New sheet metal gives the Escort a rounder, more aerodynamic appearance as well. The GT hatchback version is dropped.

Pros:
  • Attractive new design. Good cargo space. Zippy new engine makes driving this car fun.
Cons:
  • Not much rear seat room.

  • Great Car - 1997 Ford Escort

    I would have to rate my 97 Escort as execellent. It has racked up around 85000 trouble free miles. This particular Escort has a manual tranmission and gets around 30/36 mpg. The only drawback I can think of is related to the manual transmission. The manual tranny is a real hassle during rush hour traffic, stop go.
