Summary

Back to the original question: Is the Escort Wagon a good value? We'd answer with a cautious and qualified yes."

The Escort Wagon is underpowered, and not as refined as competitors such as Toyota Corolla. And the absence of ABS is hard to understand.

But it's also hard to deny this car's value, particularly with dual airbags added for 1995.

Maybe that's why almost 50 percent of all Escort buyers are choosing the wagon.

It's much less expensive than its competitors, it has segment-leading cargo capacity, and there's a nice array of extras baked into its price. That's the essence of automotive value, after all, and the Escort Wagon definitely offers value."
