Ford Faqs

The Ford Escort ZX2 is a compact coupe with a hansom design. Yet its handsome interior reveals a roomy back seat and surprisingly large trunk. ZX2 provides responsive handling and good road manners and its engine delivers decent power.

At the same time, the ZX2 is a practical car, with plenty of room in the back seats for friends. It’s also affordable and economical. That’s a good combination.One model is available that retails for $11,855, but you’ll probably want to add a few options.

Air conditioning, for example, is not standard and adds $795. ABS is a $400 option. AM/FM/cassette is standard. Ford’s 2.0-liter twin-cam 16-valve Duratec four-cylinder engine drives the front wheels. This engine produces 130 horsepower. A five-speed gearbox is standard.

A four-speed automatic is an $815 option. To add sports appeal, order the S/R Package ($1,495); though expensive, it adds high-performance tires and wheels, a performance clutch, rear disc brakes, sports exhaust, sports suspension, upgraded seats, special floor mats, and sporty shifter trim.
