Ford Escort / ZX2 Reliability through December 31, 2012

An asterisk (*) marks results based on small sample sizes.

General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.

Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.

New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

Reliability and Durability of the Ford Escort / ZX2: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2003 2dr Coupe 130-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Yes, I bought it used, but it had all kinds of leaks I'd never experienced before in a Ford: Auto Transmission cooler lines, thermostat, and now, I realize there is a gasoline vapor leak from somewhere in the fuel system. I can't park it in my garage because the fumes are strong.
