An eager little car with style

Nothing major has happenend.
The speedometer dances a bit above 75.
My shifter boot won't seem to stay on all the way. Oh well.
General Comments:
This car has been great to me.
I've had no mechanical problems with it and have kept up with maintenance intervals. I would really suggest using the Ford Motorcraft plugs in this car.
Even when I've gone past an oil change or tune up, it still just charges on like a champ.
The thing starts right up every time, and it just feels like it loves to go places.
Zipping around windy roads is very fun in this car. It being a 2 door hatch, you can really get a feel for its size and toss it around.
The sport package is cool. I love the alloy wheels and the spoiler.
I would recommend this car to most people. It's great on gas and is fun to drive. I haven't driven the automatic, but the 5 speed manual is great.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I'd recommend getting the '97 or newer Escort or Tracer.. that was the last Escort design before they stopped making them in 2001. We use them in the rental fleet at my work and they're very reliable cars. They're so solid that some have over 120,000 miles on them and we STILL rent them out to people, confident that we'll have no breakdowns ;)
