Very nice 👍

@sharingjesus3870 3 года назад

This was the best car i ever had i got it used and had it 10 years. Im in michigan too. It out ran a Mustang and went threw a flood up the the Windows and trucks were stuck my escort kept on going and 2yrs b4 it finally died i got into an accident and it smashed the gril in so bad and i couldn't fix it and it still lasted me i drove it all bent up. This car was my pride and joy i washed it so much and took care of it and people were jealous of it and slashed all 4 of my tires twice, somebody tried stealing it but my alarm went off. It was my 2nd car i named her miss.sally. i miss that car so much so many memories. Dont diss an escort just take care of it and it will outlast many other cars.

@MotorMikeMedia 3 года назад

Im Sorry that yours got into a accident. Any old car will need some work and TLC I have made a few videos talking about what all was wrong and what was done to fix it. After some work and fixing a few things it became a pretty good car and over the last few months it has been solid with no problems and a good daily Driver.

@21stcenturyfossil7 3 года назад

I had similar problems with my zx2. The cause was the rubber PCV elbow under the intake manifold was torn and leaking.

@jimmbobb 7 месяцев назад

I miss mine so bad. I had a 2000, optioned same as this one, but manual. It was super fun to drive, with a great balance of power and fuel efficiency. When I traded it at just over 100k it was still running like new.

@MotorMikeMedia 7 месяцев назад

@pauldugan3529 3 года назад

I bought one back in April 1997 when it first came out as a 98 model.. Loved it. Might still have it if it wasn't totaled in 2003.

@MotorMikeMedia 3 года назад

Yeah after fixing it up it's a pretty good commuter car and you don't see a lot of them anymore

@jpete3027666 Год назад

My first new car was a 2000 ZX2 I got when I was 21. I had power windows and locks and a CD changer in the trunk and ice cold AC. So going from a beater that barely ran to this it felt luxurious haha. I got 100k trouble free miles out of it until it developed a hesitation issue from stops. I never looked into it, it might have been simple but I ended up trading it in during 2005. Overall it was a good car as I remember. And yes it was cheap but I thought it was a good value for the money at that time.

@MotorMikeMedia Год назад

Yeah, back when they were new, it was a great deal for what you got. It took a while, but we actually fixed the majority of the Zx2, and it was a great daily driver for a while

@jimmbobb 7 месяцев назад

Same here!!! My first new car was a 2000 ZX2. I had all the same options except the CD changer (I just upgraded to aftermarket). I traded mine at a little over 100k because the a/c compressor went out and my roommate (a Honda tech) didn't want to mess with it. If I had it to do over again I would have replaced the compressor and still be driving it.

@themusclegangcompany4422 3 года назад

Don’t get rid of it. Build it bro

@danwilliams1920 Год назад

I bought one used in 2008, and i really liked it! I spray-painted the interior panels maroon and tucked some tiger-stripe fabric into those fake pad areas on the door. It honestly looked rad. Best thing about it: as easy to repair as any other escort. That's what I love about Ford.

That sounds really cool very nice! Yeah these can be great little cars that you can get cheap maintain them relatively cheap they can be fun and they can be pretty efficient.

Have a 2002. Same color, same upholstery. It's funny I have the same piece above the steering wheel that's loose. Came that way when I bought it new. Think they broke a tab installing it at the factory. Been a good little car. Almost 300k miles on it. Was getting around 43 mpg highway when I took trips up to Idaho. Don't take it too far from home anymore. Once the clear coat starts to go it goes quick.

I've had a 2000 zx2 for two years and it's my daily driver. I put 500 miles a week and have driven it on 2 road trips 800 miles round trip. . I got it with 59k miles 2 years ago and now has 97k. Only have changed fuel pump and ac compressor. Struts and valve covers gasket are due but over all its been a great car. Rear bumper did crack in same location.

@MotorMikeMedia 2 года назад

Nice that is great that you have a good daily driver. Mine had its issues but after spending some time and money fixing some stuff it became a good daily driver for a while for my dad before he sold it.

@@zacharyariail134 Ford's are generally pretty reliable, some Subarus are ok, but they're generally infamous for having engine issues, especially with the head gaskets in several models. I used to think Subarus reliability issues were mostly related to the wrx/sti, but I've since known several people while had servers engine issues with foresters and multiple Outbacks, and all of these Subarus had less than 100k on them.

It's always Worth a look. Check it out look under the vehicle take it for a good test drive. Any older car will probably need some work done to it.

@that1guy82 2 года назад

On the shaking, when i got my car it had the check engine light on so i checked it and i did the spark plugs, wires and coil pack cuz they were all cheap and easy all together. That got rid of half the shaking but the shaking got worse over the this last year I've had it and i got a mechanic to fix all 4 motor mounts for $150. That got rid of 100% of the shaking after that. But it still needs so many small things fixed still.

@MotorMikeMedia 2 года назад

Yeah with these cars as well as a few other smaller economy cars of this era there are quite a few little things that can cause shaking and rattling. Unfortunately with these they do start the nickel and dime you You fix one thing something else breaks but that's just what happens with older cars in general especially older economy cars.

@zacharyariail134 3 года назад

This was the first car. I paid cash for it at 17. My dad stole it and sold it from me with like 124k miles. It was one of the highest miles ones that existed. It was a 98 and this was in 03. It was a stick with no cruise control.

@piercebrooks6042 2 года назад

@@MotorMikeMedia had the same issue with mine. Did all that, replaced PCV valve, replaced MAF sensor, cleaned idle air control valve, but the issue kinda returned. The problem was the spark plugs and the spark plug wires. The spark plug wire boots that plug into the spark plugs were arcing (electricity wasn’t being consistently delivered to the back of the spark plug, but was arcing to the white siding). Using some dialectic every once-in-a-while on the sides of the spark plug wire boot fixes the issue!

@cskye6529 3 года назад

I wonder if this is meant to be ironic considering this is a 20 year old car? I have none of these problems in my 1999. It IS a stickshift and so it is much more fun to drive and easier to work on. The only problem is with my also living in Michigan, the doglegs underneath the doors are beginning to rust. Man I hate the salt. Still get 30mpg in the winter and 37.5 in the summer. Best ever tank was 43mpg - but I am not the greatest hypermiler and 40mpg on a trip to Chicago and back in May. Never had any major problems with it besides changing the timing belt at 128,000 after the dealership told me (ie. lied) that they had inspected it at 120,000. Also had an ooze coming from the rear main seal about one drop per month. Used Scotty Kilmer's recommendation of putting in at205 and hopefully that is gone now. The drip pan under the car doesn't have much. The thing is I like this car enough where when people try to mess with you, and they often do thinking because you're in an old small car, that you can just downshift and bang it up to 90mph and they are like "whaaat?". Bye bye. I've had it up to about 123mph and it had much more room to go but now it is old I wouldn't press it. Have a chip for it but not using it atm, and the speed governor is easy to put a switch on to turn it off.

@cskye6529 3 года назад

@@themusclegangcompany4422 Yes. You splice it into a wire on the wiring harness just below the cupholders. I'll check which color wire it is next time. I used a rocker toggle switch that I got at radio shack back in the day and mounted it inside the cupholder, painted a jar cap black and used that as a cover so I could still use the cupholder. You have to use the switch or it will throw a code for the check engine light. Glad I got another single-throw-double-pole switch for the IAT/ECT modification before Radio shack went under. Looks just like the the switch I used for the governor before I got the chip. I did that once by running the wires all the way to the intake and engine temperature sensors and it adds a lot of rubber burning grunt. Probably unleashes the power the engine was meant to have in the UK before it was detuned for the US market.
