The Escort gets knocked by know it alls, but the 97+ ones were the best Ford made and they got good reviews for their handling.
In my family we have two and they may not be fast, but they're good daily drivers. One has a 5 speed and it is fun to drive and gets up to 35 MPG.
2000 SE fleet, V6, ATX, ABS, no spoiler, T-Green/tan. Built 01/2000 in MO.
Added 12 spoke factory SE rims, K&N. Biggest mod: ESP Plan!
