This Year's Model Updates:

The 2000 Escort line has been simplified. The station wagon is discontinued, and there is now only one trim level for the sedan and coupe models.

Pros:
  • Economical to own, good reliability and safety, new optional S/R performance package for ZX2 Coupe.
Cons:
  • Lack of refinement, so-so interior ergonomics, 2000 Ford Focus is a better car.

  • ZX2 with S/R computer - 2000 Ford Escort
    By -

    When I got my ZX2 in January 2004, I was astounded to find a new motor, transmission, and S/R computer in it. With High mileage (79,000) and just the need for transportation to and from work, I wasnt expecting much, but Ive got a car that not only can smoke rubber in first and second gear, it beats the pants off Honda Civics. It does what I want it to do and does it VERY well

  • Love my ZX2 - 2000 Ford Escort

    Ive had this car for 4 years, and shes been good to me. My favorate features are the 5 speed transmission - it makes the little engine perform wonders. I would never want an "economy" car with an automatic transmission. I like the small size as well, it makes parallel parking a breeze. The fold down seats make it possible to transport skis, yes SKIS if you have 3 people or less in the car.

  • I love my ZX2! - 2000 Ford Escort
    By -

    I bought my ZX2 brand new and put 17,000 miles a year on it. Its so much fun to drive, very nervous for an automatic car. At 60,000 miles I never had any mechanical problems. The bucket seats are super comfortable, including for long trips, but its difficult to access the back seats. The exterior design is far less boring than equivalent cars and the tan interior is very relaxing.

    Bought as second vehicle. Low mileage and 3 yrs old. Fun to drive. Good cornering ability, good gas mileage. Cruise control works seamlessly. Wish I had bought one with manual trans though. Automatic labors sometimes under acceleration. Car fits my needs like a glove and looks good doing it. Economical and reliable so far. Love it.
