Re: Ford Escort ZX2
Well I just found out today from the insurance company that,like it or not I will most likely be held liable. Odds are good though the Judge will rule the accident "as no fault" which is some MINOR consolation. Obviously though I won't know until the court date in July for certain on this.
Everyone I have spoken to agrees that though what the swine did to me was wrong. Beyond maybe a civil suite it doesn't appear I can do much to change the liabilty situation.
This whole episode is realy freaking me out. At the end of it all between the lost wages, and my $250 deductible, it will end up costing me about $700 that I don't have. This is to say nothing of what my insurance company will do to my premiums next January.
The estimate for the repairs to my beloved ZX2 is around $4000. According to the guy at Ford's Body Shop here in Myrtle Beach South Carolina; the imbecile could not have hit me in a worse spot.
The impact point was just below the passenger side door handle. He thinks most of the passenger side body work will have to be replaced. Other bad news is that it will also take about 3 weeks to fix.
Oh my decision not to buy the Cavalier was validated on Monday. The Hire car the insurance company gave me was a 1999 Chevy Cavalier sedan. What piece of @#$@# that is. Three hours of driving it and I had to return it. There is no way I was going to drive all the way back to Va. comute to and from work for three weeks and then drive south again in it to colect my ZX2. They gave me instead a 1999 Ford Escort Sedan. Granted it is NO WHERE NEAR my ZX2 in handling but at least the interior is slightly more familiar.
IF any newbies are wondering if the ZX2 really is that much of a different car from the Escort Sedan let me assure you IT IS!!! They may share a similar interiors, and the name Escort but that is it! The steering, the suspension, and sheer power of the ZX2 is measurable superior in ALL AREAS!!! The EScort Sedan truly is an Econo box.
DAMN IT ALL I WANT MY CAR BACK!!! This vacation will certainly go down in my history books as one of the ones I LEAST WANT TO REMEMBER.

Re: Ford Escort ZX2
I just test drove a ZX2 SR and I was very impressed. I is a very sporty car. It's handling is excellent.
It wasnt as quick as its 140+ hp would suggest but it did rev willingly, albeit not loudly.
I also had a problem with the 5 speed shifer. It is supposed to be an improved close ratio trannny with sport shifting but I found the shift gates too close together (confused 3rd for 5th. It also required lots of extra effort to shift in and out of gear. I think more time behind the wheel would solve that problem.
The best part is that with the SR package includes sticky Goodyear F1 205/15" tires, alloy wheels,Borla exhaust, sport suspension, and rear wheel disc brakes. There is also 1500 cash back so this whole deal can be had for less than 13,000 dollars which is amazing.
I test drove a Celica GT this week and the ZX2 will follow it anywhere for about 6000 less. The Celica was much quieter and smoother but Its hard to justify the 6000 dollar premium. They are definately comparable.
The ride was quite firm. Rough in fact at times. But that is the trade off with the sport suspension and excellent handling. The Borla exhaust is also loud and will probably become tiresome on the highway but this is the sportiest car around for 13,000 dolllars!
I think if I had to buy the wheels, tires, exhust, suspension tuning, rear discs, and improved transmision and add them to a base ZX2 (or any car for that matter) it would cost over 3000 dollars.
I would definately buy this car over a Celica GT, Cougar I4, Neon ES, Focus ZX3, Tiburon, and every other car under 15000 dollars.
This is the best kept secret in sporty cars.

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
What’s the point of having a car if you can’t use and enjoy it?Buying a new vehicle to do your work commute in and then using your hobby car more because you prefer to commute in it just seems odd to me.

Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
Boy the hits keep coming for Ford. Now I’m hearing they have to recall a bunch of Fusions because some cable in the tranny can fail allowing people to remove the key while still in gear allowing the car to roll away.
My 97’ Chrysler had a recall for the same thing but I never got it fixed because I’m not, you know, stupid. I always put my cars in park before I turn off the engine. Unfortunately one of my son’s friends was less intelligent and knocked the car in gear while parked and it rolled into his garage door. In retrospect I should have got it fixed.

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
That $2,400 in overage charge is offset by whatever you save in lease monthly payment. How much lower is it at 12k vs 18k?Exactly, so if I'm going to pay the same price why not take the cheaper payment and pay less in MSD?
12K per year = $289/month with ($2,700) MSD x 24 = $9,636
18K per year = $384/month with ($3,600) MSD x 24 = $12,816
So I'll end up spending pretty much the same amount of money for the lease, but will have to shell out less in MSD up front - or have I gone completely insane?
Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
Repo's??
I went back to the original source article cited and now I think the data and conclusions are questionable. They dance around the issue of service loaners for the high-end German makes, and their criteria are to eliminate vehicles that were registered as sold while showing less than 1000 miles. I suspect most service loaners are registered with the DMV and rack up more than that mileage by the time they get sold so they get included in these stats. But those would not satisfy the intent of the analysis of being a vehicle that was dumped by an owner. They do not touch on the repo issue at all that I could see which may also distort their conclusions.
