Faults:

Mass air sensor.

This has been a great car to get to and from work.

A couple of months ago I put a set of Eibach springs, Tokico struts and performance rubber on the car. My little work car can now handle with the best of the four bangers.

Faults:

Other than obvious oil changes, I have had no problems whatsoever with the car.

General Comments:

My dealer service has been superb, when I bought the car, the dealer, who happened to be a friend of mine, showed me this car and said "this is the best bang for the buck I can give you". Of the cars I had to chose from I chose this above a Cavalier Rally Sport, Chevy S-10 Extreme, Pontiac Grand Am GT, and Toyota Celica GT. I've never regretted it for an instant!!

This car has an amazing performance record and amazing gas economy. I would easily buy this car over again!!! I've driven a lot of cars (including a 68 and 57 Chevrolet Corvette). If you have 10-20,000 to spend on a new car, this is where your money is.

This car provides the performance and handling of a stock 20-22 thousand dollar car for 15 thousand dollars fully loaded.

I have never had any problems with my ZX2. The only time it's been in a garage is for oil changes and belt inspections.

This car out accelerates and out performs every car in its class. There are now a large number after market performance parts available for the ZX2 too. The Focus ZX3 and Escort ZX2 may share the same motor, but the ZX2 is faster and out performs the ZX3 due to its higher gear ratios and lighter body weight. I think the ZX2 looks more sporty too. I love this car because of its reliability and fun.

Faults:

Before I had it, there is a service receipt for a driver side power window fix.

I had a click on the caliper to break and all it was was a rattle, very minor.

General Comments:

I love my ZX2, for the money I paid and what's available on the market, I think my ZX2 is what I wanted. It's a great car, not as common as a Cav. or a Honda.

There will always be better and worse cars, but what I got, I am very happy with. No, my car is not perfect, I did not expect a perfect car, because I bought it used, but it has surpassed my expectations. Plus the posibilities of expanding the performance are excellent. Sad day for Ford to say goodbye to the ZX2 in Canada, it will be misses. AND I WILL NOT buy the ZX3 (toooo ugly).

Faults:

Minor problems with front braking fixed with TSB. That's it.

General Comments:

This car rules. Ford should continue manufacturing this model and give it an upgrade in the future. The Focus ZX3 is not a suitable replacement.

Faults:

I have gone through 2 transmissions (racing).

My fuse box caught on fire (my fault).

Other then that, the car has been perfect.

Oh, and the brake problem everyone else has been having.

General Comments:

I love the car. I have put it through a lot of crap and it is still running. It has great handling and acceleration, and I personally think it looks pretty good.

Faults:

Nada, Zippo, Zilch, very reliable car.

General Comments:

This has been one of the best cars I have ever owned, not a single problem in 2 1/2 years.

Sporty, economical, everything I was looking for in a car.

Faults:

Brake problems!!!!! Had to take it back for a service 4 times!! A great inconvenience!!

Also, the transmission acts as if it is searching for 1st gear when I start and stop. Car is very noisy. Would not recommend this car to anyone!!!

Faults:

Various rattles in dash at only 10,000 miles, sqeeking brakes at same miles, transmission searches for 1st gear after stopping and starting in traffic.

General Comments:

Excellent style and value, cramped interior.

Faults:

I have only had my car for seven months now, so there are no major problems to report. However, during the cold winter months the car made a little more noise than I feel comfortable with. Overall I have been very satisfied with my purchase. Ford has created a very quick and strongly built car. This was put to the test as I collided with another vehicle recently. The force of the impact was severe enough to dislodge the bumper of the other car. However, I just incurred superficial scratches.

Faults:

Nothing yet.

General Comments:

I drive over 40 miles each way to work five days a week. I need front wheel drive and good gas mileage. This car provides both. I am extremely happy with the looks and performance of my car.
