Summary
Sporty, quick and fun to drive, the Ford Escort ZX2 is a great choice for active single folks. Roomy rear seats and generous trunk space make it practical for going out on the town or packing up for a cross-country haul.Its performance may not quite measure up to its aggressive appearance, but the ZX2 compares favorably against its competitors. Its driving fun and top-notch comfort and quality provide a winning blend.
