The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles equipped with 1.9L engines, built at the Hermosillo or Wayne Assembly Plants and originally sold or is currently registered in Nevada, Florida, Hawaii, Texas, California, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Alabama and Arkansas. Cracks can develop in the fuel tank near the heat shield attachment resulting in fuel leakage if the cracks go through the fuel tank wall. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a vehicle fire. Dealers will remove the heat shield attachments. This will not affect heat shield location or function, as the attachments are intended to keep the shield in place until the fuel tank is installed in the vehicle. After installation, the fuel tank straps retain the heat shield.

Summary:
|
Still a best-seller, still a great value
By Professional Test Driver, NewCarTestDrive.com
The Ford Escort is a huge seller to both retail customers and rental fleets - the latter because of the great combination of room and price. It is the value factor, and the escort's overall competence, that make this car's popularity so widespread. In choosing an Escort, we would advise you take the one-price LX package, beef up the audio system (an aftermarket system would bypass the tiny-button Ford system) and add anti-lock brakes, and you will be getting a substantial vehicle at a competitive price. |
|
Overview:
|
In the 1994 model year, the Ford Escort was the third best-selling car in the United States, settling right behind the Ford Taurus and Honda Accord, and sitting ahead of other small-car favorites such as the Saturn and Honda Civic. What made the Escort so attractive to 336,967 buyers last year? First of all, it's a smart, modern, well-priced compact car. And second, it's easy to purchase thanks to Ford's popular one-price selling plan, which offers any LX coupe, sedan or wagon for the same manufacturer's suggested retail price. The vast majority of Escorts are sold under the one-price plan. This is a comprehensive package that offers amenities such as power steering, 14-in. bright aluminum wheels, air conditioning, AM/FM stereo, clock, rear-window defroster, cupholder with a removable liner, and power mirrors. In addition, the wagons also have a luggage rack and rear windshield wiper/washer. With a manual transmission, the price is $11,995; that number jumps to $12,810 with an automatic. There are no deletions, but upgrades are available. Most Escorts are sold with some upgrades, particularly in the audio system. This is a high-value package, so it's no wonder it has been popular. The GT - our test car - is not part of the one-price plan. Available only as a 3-door hatchback, our GT featured an optional special decor package with an Ultra Violet exterior that will knock your socks off and appeal to every passerby under the age of 25. The interior boasted Opal Gray bucket seats, door panels and seatback inserts, all trimmed with Ultra Violet. These aesthetics don't come cheap; our test model rang up at $16,670.
