Test Drive: 2001 Ford Escort

In this video I give a full test drive of the 2001 Ford Escort. For those who haven't seen the full tour video on this car, I take a short look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I show the car idling and the engine note as well as take it on a thorough test drive through the city and highway. A through review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

@888pineapple888 my brothers truck didnt have one and it was REALLY weird. i was nervous because i couldnt see anything when it came to how hard i needed to press the gas. i use the tachometer for lots of things! thats how i discovered the electrical problem in my car

@xboxfreak3601000 also 295000km's or 183000 miles currently. the sport should contain the same type of engine. rear spring/strut towers are very weak (manufacturing defect). otherwise...... fun car to drive, especially in winter as a beater.

@xboxfreak3601000 lets be honest..... buying an escort requires the driver to know full on hand that the valve seats in exhaust might overheat and break apart causing damage to pistons, piston walls, the actual valves itself, might create a hole in the cylinder head. now i have a 98 escort bought brand new in 98. acceleration wise is poor compared to the protege, but better than civic and corolla in same year. quick cure for overheating valve seats: keep heat on at full blast at all times.

One thing I have to mention on the escort's, is that the valve seats and or pistons can blow on the engine. Just retired my 99 due to a the piston blowing out. I have 134,000 miles. Too bad :(

@araflygare Escorts from 91 to 2002 have the Mazda beep. It's cause they're really Mazda Protege's, redesigned and have Ford engines pretty much.
