Already a best selling line, the Escort family is sure to benefit by the addition of this charming new coupe. Its performance doesn't quite measure up to its tigerish appearance,
but it does measure up favorably versus most competitors, and it offers
better-than-average driving fun with top-notch comfort and quality. That's
a winning blend by any standard.
Due to hit Ford showrooms in April, the ZX2's pricing had not been finalized
at press time. However, we know it will be at the top of the Escort family
tree, with a base price of about $13,000, including Ford's $415 destination
charge. Judging by Escort sedan options, we estimate the price of our test
car at about $14,500.
Sedan prices start at $11,430, wagons, which are LX only, at $12,480.
Prices for the Tracer sedan and wagon run a touch higher.
Whichever version you choose, we think you'll be pleased with these
pleasant, competent small cars.
