This was my first major car purchase. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. The gray exterior and dark gray interior matched my style perfectly. The car performed exceptionally well. No major problems even after 100,000+ miles. I get more than 40 mpg and considerably more than that on the highway. This car handles curves and corners well. Driving stick shift was a thrill! I didn't learn to drive a standard until I purchased the vehicle. This was an awesome vehicle to learn on and very forgiving. It may be a small vehicle but it can still do work! I've hauled tons of potting soil, wood chips and other gardening supplies in the truck. Overall, a great purchase that I would highly recommend to anyone.

I bought the car used for a total of $3500 back in 2010 and the considering it was 7 years old at that point it still runs as good as it did the day I bought it. It's a two door coupe so it's very small but for a personal car for taking on commute for work or school it's great. Very fuel efficient as well I think I get around 27 mpg in city.

My 98 Ford Escort Sport is, hands down, the best car I have ever owned. Over the years it has been reliable and steady and gotten me through all weather conditions - extreme heat, snow, sleet and torrential rain. It handles well and has needed only general maintenance over the years to keep it running smoothly. It's size allows me to get in and out of difficult spots (tiny parking spaces, parallel parking, drive-thrus, etc.) It also has great mileage. I am very pleased with it after all these years.
