1994 Ford Escort LX 1.9 4 cylinder
Summary:
It's okay since it runs smoothly except for when it cuts out at red lights
Faults:
It eats and drinks up all the oil.
Too small.
It makes a loud noise when it accelerates.
It takes forever to accelerate.
When driving over 50mph on a highway, it feels loose and wobbly.
My air conditioner doesn't work even though it's only 6 years old.
My engine cuts out when I wait at long stop light, might be something wrong with fuel pump.
General Comments:
Other than that, it's a great car for someone who's young and a first-time buyer.
Also, great for someone who's single with no kids.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I also had the problem with my Ford Escort LX. It cut out at the red light. It turned out that one of the hoses (L-shape) had a hole in it, the area where it bends. I put in a good used replacement from an auto salvage.
I did most of it myself and car idles great, about a year later.
Total cost: $9.00.
