2003 Ford ZX2 Review
Cute, affordable, and fun.
2003 ZX2 Review Summary & Specifications
Sporty, quick and fun to drive, the Ford ZX2 is a good choice for young, single people who want a two-door coupe. Roomy rear seats and generous cargo space make ZX2 practical for going out on the town or packing up for a cross-country haul. Its performance does not measure up to its aggressive appearance, but the ZX2 is cute and offers a good value.
