Lineup
reviewed by
One model is available that retails for $11,855, but you'll probably want to add a few options. Air conditioning, for example, is not standard and adds $795. ABS is a $400 option. AM/FM/cassette is standard.
Ford's 2.0-liter twin-cam 16-valve Duratec four-cylinder engine drives the front wheels. This engine produces 130 horsepower. A five-speed gearbox is standard. A four-speed automatic is an $815 option.
To add sports appeal, order the S/R Package ($1,495); though expensive, it adds high-performance tires and wheels, a performance clutch, rear disc brakes, sports exhaust, sports suspension, upgraded seats, special floor mats, and sporty shifter trim.
(The Escort sedan is still being sold to rental agencies and other fleets, but has been pretty much replaced by the Ford Focus.)
