    I'm looking to buy a "new" car, and I've found a 99 Ford Escort ZX2. I've given it a good look, and it checks out great. Taking it for a test drive in a couple days. I'm wondering if anyone here has owned one, and could give any reviews of the car, what to look out for, etc. Any help is appreciated.

    I've driven some of those cars, I wouldn't buy it; Get a Volkswagen instead.

    Objectively, it's a great car. Far more powerful than the 130 HP would suggest, and that engine sounds sweet when wound out too. Handling is lively, not as refined as the focus, but it is better than most cars you'll find in the price range.
    I personally think it failed on nothing more significant than its looks - the only place where the VW would be more impressive than the ford.
