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.

SUCKS!!!!!!! - 1999 Ford Escort
By Cara - May 5 - 2:00 amMy experience with the Ford Escort ZX2 has been horrible from the start. First, 3 months after I purchased it the entire transmission was shot. (Under warranty they replaced it). 1 year later the power steering went out. The break are horrible and even though I change them often the dealership says that these types of cars have that "Squicky" problem.

Great Purchase! - 1999 Ford Escort
By Vette man - April 28 - 2:00 amI bought the car for less than $10K brand new in 1999. Really quick, have had it over 100 mph often. Its almost as quick as my 84 Corvette. Have 80K miles on it and no problems what so ever. Bought my daughter one. She got into a head on collision at 50 mph and walked away from it. The crush zones and air bags worked as well as a BMW. The best value Ford every sold.

Great Car - 1999 Ford Escort
By philmie - March 30 - 2:00 amMy ZX2 is a wonderful car. Since I have had it I drive it 50 miles a day to and from school and then I deliver pizzas 4 days a week. My car is up to the abuse and I treat it to regular oil changes usually a few miles before 3000. It has good pep when accelerating even though it hada small engine. Sporty look too especially when it is given some tint and premium rims.

zx2 is great!!!!! - 1999 Ford Escort
By dragonslayer - March 9 - 2:00 amI think the zx2 is the best compact car out. I belive that the zx2 is reliable and i have had no problems. also i know the zx2 is a good racing car atleast against the honda civic (which isnt all that great) the zx2 is under rated and should be higher rated than the civic. also the escort zx2 is not really a escort it was put on fords production line to replace the ford probe the escort zx2 should not be viewed and shuned by people just because its and escort view it as ford zx2 just forget about the escort part because its better and faster than the regular escort.this car should be respected more than the honda civic because this is a great car to get.

Fun But Cheap - 1999 Ford Escort
By fordzx2blue - February 3 - 2:00 amPoor manual transmission and headlights. The seats are made for women (lots of lumbar support). But, it is zippy!

ESCORT IT IS - 1999 Ford Escort
By JRJNJLB - December 4 - 2:00 amAS A FAMILY MAN I ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF DRIVING THIS CAR. PLUS I NO LONGER HAVE TO USE MY BMW TO HAUL OUR KIDS AROUND. NOT THAT THE KIDS CARE THEY THINK THE ESCORT IS CUTE-ER. ITS DEFINATELY WORTH EVERY CENT. GAS MILEAGE IS ABOVE AVERAGE 38 HIGHWAY 28 CITY. DESIGN IS MODERN AND NOT LIKE THE OLD ESCORTS. IF YOUR LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FANCY GO SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE, IF YOUR LIMITED ON CASH AND LOOKING FOR A GOOD VALUE-THE ESCORT IT IS.

My ZX2 - 1999 Ford Escort
By godinieu - May 4 - 2:00 amGreat fuel economy, awesome driving in curvy roads, i live in Mexico, which means poor roads, but still it is in perfect condition despite 35,000 miles.
