An Escort with everything bolted on
Absolutely nothing!
An Escort with everything bolted on. Same kit as a top of the range Mondeo at a third of the price.

Death Trap
I just traded my ZX2 in for a Pontiac Grand Am GT due to the ZX2 dying while driving at very dangerous times.
Like crossing at an intersection, died while driving down the highway with cars on my rear-end, died while merging into traffic onto to an interstate highway. This has happened at least 6 times and I no longer want to put up with putting my life in danger and others lives. Ford looked at it and said nothing was wrong with it. It is a Death Trap waiting to happen. Would NOT recommend this car anymore, even though it performs wonderfully and has a lot of get-up-and-go.
Otherwise a great car.

My car would do that too until they replaced the air sensor. Hasn't done it since.
I had the same problem with my ford zx2 just quitting also. It happened for about a week straight. I took it to a mechanic, and he couldn't find anything wrong with it. Since I've gotten it back about six months ago never happened again. CRAZY HUH?
This car hauls butt! And is one of the most practical cars I have owned
A rattle.
I consistently get 34 miles to the gallon on every tank fill up! Though not a muscle car, this car is fast! Best bang for your buck. No more being late to work or emptying your wallet at the pumps.

Quick, sturdy, fun, cheap!
Nothing!
I bought this car because I wanted a quick five speed front wheel drive. The ZX2 was BY FAR the best bang for the buck. It's quicker and handles better than the rest at under $11,000. I paid $10,688 and this car is a blast to drive HARD! Great for those of us that want a sports car but don't want high insurance or operating costs.

Cheap trash!
Everything! This car is trash! I hate it and I will never buy another Ford again. I mean what new car's transmission falls out only at 5000 miles?!
Ford cars are the worst things on the road by far. I think that they should have to recall all of these cheap piles of crap and refund all of our money!

Maybe it is the driver, I have a 98 and it's great, no problems at all, ever.
I doubt if the driver had anything to do with the transmission falling out at that short mileage. That's just stupid to say. The only way that could have happened is if the person was reckless in driving it and shoved it from drive to reverse (most, if not all new cars have automatic shut offs that deactivate the car and keep it motivated forward to prevent transmission damage). Get real and use the head God gave you for more than a decoration.
I own a 1999 Ford Escort ZX2 and the transmission in it shifts bad and hard, I have herd a lot of bad things about this car. My opinion is that you should stay away from this make and model.
I think you should just stay away from the automatic transmission. I've noticed a lot of transmission problems with Escorts and ZX2s that have automatics...
What, how can you say bad things about the ZX2? I have owned a 1999 since new and this ride is Dyn-O-Mite. I also have a couple Mustangs, a 90 GT and a 67 289 and I got to tell you this ZX2 will give them both a run for their money. It can't beat them, but they can't lose the the little ZX2 either. Now I'm going to talk to my Ford dealer about a new Fusion, another fine example from the Blue Oval.

That's an electrical problem. Write Ford and tell them about your car and your dealer.
