1994 Ford Escort

Pros: 31.5ft turning radius, 32 mpg combined, amazing versatility, and go anywhere do anything attitude.

Cons: Makes you feel puny when driving beside semis, average headlights.

The Bottom Line: A good value in '94, even more real estate for the money today.

Review: Back in '94 there were loads of things going on at my house. one of them was finding a good vehicle for my mom who was tired of having to drive my dad's then operational 1984 Chevrolet K-5 Blazer. We went looking around for about 2 weeks, then we settled ...

Pros: Reliability, fuel economy, trunk size, A/C, snow & ice handling, interior durability

Cons: Cooling system, automatic shoulder belts, cheap factory speakers

The Bottom Line: A great car, but like any used car be sure to have it checked by a professional before buying.

Review: I bought my 1994 Escort brand new, and it has been a wonderful car. I own the LX Sedan, 4-door and I've driven it nearly every day since my purchase. It currently has 240,000 miles on it, with no end in sight. It also averages 34-36 mpg when driving a ...

Pros: Great Gas Mileage

Cons: Noisy Ride in Back Seat

Review: Bought this car used, a 1994 model. It was previously owned by a blood lab which meant very high mileage, 130,000. But we took a chance on it. Let me tell you, it is probably the best car I've ever owned. We had the wagon model. It rode well, comfortable...

Pros: Reliability, Gas Mileage, Zippy Engine

Cons: Stereo, Reverse

The Bottom Line: If you need a reliable car on a small budget, take a look at Escort.

Review: After 9 years and 196,000 miles it's time to retire the Escort 3 door. I cant say enough about this little car. I bought the car back in '94 for 13,000. After 9 years of commuting logging over 196,000 miles it's time for a new car. Why you ask? The...

Pros: good, dependable auto --- can handle high mileage

Cons: Ford is no longer making them

Review: Don't laugh, but I love my Ford Escort! I am currently driving my second Escort, purchased in 1994. I call her Trixie and she has carried me to and from work daily, on vacation and around town for the past six years. The odometer reads 67,973 miles but...

Pros: reliable, gas mileage, zippy, comfortable, roomy

Cons: low ground clearance , interior lights , headlights , radio only

The Bottom Line: Excellent car. I am keeping it because nobody makes a 40 mpg, quiet, comfortable, inexpensive, reliable wagon. Getting a second Escort wagon

Review: UPDATE: I now have 370,000 miles on the car and still love it. I have had to fix the steering since the car was shaking. It now runs fine. The mileage has dropped to about 37mpg in the winter but every once-in-a-while I can still get 40mpg. I still ...

Pros: super reliable, great in snow, good mileage

Cons: none that I have discovered yet

The Bottom Line: When you need reliable transportation this is the car for you. Looks good too!!!

Review: After two new cars of another brand that both stunk, I bought a used '94 Escort hatchback with 57000 miles. Have had it 4 years with no problems. It is absolutely super going in the snow. Drives better than those expensive SUV's. I drive it with...

Pros: Price, value and dependability

Cons: 4 cylinder engine, not a lot of power

Review: I have a 1994 white 5-door (hatchback) Ford Escort LX 4 cylinder 4.9 liter. I have had this car since August of 1997 and I am surprised (after everything that this poor car has been through) that being this is a Ford ( F-ix O-r R-eplace D-aily) that it...

Pros: basic, reliable transportation at a reasonable cost

Cons: You're neighbors won't even notice you bought a new car.

Review: Okay, admit it-

You don't need four-wheel drive. You don't need to accelerate quickly or take corners like Mario Andretti.

If you need anything more than a Ford Escort station wagon, you either drive for a living or have too much...

Pros: dependable, cost efficient and smart

Cons: for a small family

Review: I have owned 2 Ford Escorts, and aside from routine maintenance I have never had a problem with either of them. They make great small family cars, if you have a family of 4 or less. Our '94 Ford Escort currently has almost 100,000 miles on it and is...
