Overview & Reviews

Ford's entry-level car gets new colors, new interior fabrics and revised options. An AM/FM stereo with cassette is now standard on the Escort SE. An interior trunk release is now standard on all models. The sedans and wagon get all-door remote keyless entry added to their standard equipment lists. An integrated child seat is no longer available.

• Economical, loaded with features, and frugal at the gas pump. ZX2 coupe offers surprising performance.

• Sedan and wagon are not too pretty, ZX2 is downright funky.

  This is a second For Escort I have owned. I have never had any problems with this car. Change the oil, and it goes any distance.

  Love this car!! - 1999 Ford Escort
  By My Great Car - September 9 - 2:00 am

  I went to Florida in March and got 40 MPG consistently on a two day trip. Cant get much better than that! I even get great mileage around my rural area, back and forth to stores, etc. Have not put any money into it, except a tie rod end, tires, and everyday maintenance. I love this car!!! Heats great, cools great, fun to drive!!

  Great Buy - 1999 Ford Escort
  By nydriver - August 3 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my ZX2 new and after 4 years of driving it, have yet to have a problem with it. Not only has it been reliable, but also economical. It drives well and makes long trips painless and city traffic less painful than in other cars. This car is a winner in my book.

  Top Economy Car - 1999 Ford Escort
  By 99LXSPORT - July 10 - 2:00 am

  This car is just like any other basic economy car with a kick. The car has an awesome look from behind and side but from front looks really girly, but that all can be changed by taking the orange plate out of your headlights. The 2.0L Split Port Induction engine produces a solid 115 HP and 125 lb/ft of torque good for the SOHC 8V valvetrain. The interior style is solid, just a CD player and you have a solid car.

  1999 Escort SE Sport - 1999 Ford Escort
  By JFE - June 12 - 2:00 am

  Owned it a little over 2 years now. Had repeated water leaks in both headlights. Finally corrected. Water in trunk. Replaced inner & outer tie rods on Drivers side. (thanks to hit & run driver) Vibrations from somewhere beneath the car. That was checked and nothing was found. Occasionally the left speaker cuts out.

  Very practical car for cost - 1999 Ford Escort
  By Chris Hadley - May 7 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car over 2 years ago now. The only problem is the engine developed a shimmy around the 45,000 mile mark. I took it to the dealership and they gave me some crap about tubing or something. It cost me $95 but it fixed the only problem. I got into an accident where I was struck sideways in the back and I walked away and the car was able to be fixed. I was hit by a VERY large truck so I was impressed by the build quality. The car is a smooth ride and peppy for a 4 cyl. engine. I have put well over 7,500 interstate miles on this car in the last year. GREAT CAR!
