Are Ford ZX2 good cars?
Car is fun to drive, great gas mileage and the motor/trans is great. Owned this car for 12 years and without a doubt has been the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. To bad Ford discontinued it. Interior has held up very well.
When did the Ford Escort ZX2 come out?
The Ford Escort ZX2 first became available in 1998 as a sportier, coupe version of the popular subcompact car market. The ZX2 remained on the production lines until 2003 as the Ford Focus began to phase in as the main fuel-efficient sub-compact model, which eventually replaced the Escort entirely.

How much does it cost to repair a Ford Escort ZX2 transmission?
My trans was about 1300 dollars after labor. I have a 2000 ZX2, with manual transmission. Today it is in the shop for the 6th time for transmission-related problems, with only 117k miles on it. Just got quoted a repair bill in excess of $1300 to replace the entire clutch assembly.
Is there a recall on the 2002 escort?
All owners should have been offered a voluntary recall with full credit applied toward the purchase of a new vehicle. As an owner, I cannot recommend strongly enough against the purchase of a 1997-2002 Escort due to a high occurance of transmission problems.
