2001 Ford Escort ZX2
Posted Friday, August 19, 2011 in Ford, LHD, Vehicle ReviewsVehicle Year? 2001
Make and Model Ford Excort ZX2
RHD or LHD Left Hand Drive
Type of road surface driven on. CHECK ALL THAT APPLY Pavement|Gravel|Dirt
Type of weather conditions driven in... CHECK ALL THAT APPLY Normal
Mail Capacity? Could use more room
Durability Pretty good.
Reliability Pretty good
Gas Mileage on route 25MPG
Problems you have had with it Replaced fuel pump, fuel filter, air filter, right hand exterior mirror (lol), cv axle, and wheel berring
Additional Comments ( Include things like modifications you have done, window height, console, etc.) It had a very low center console which I removed. I am almost 6ft tall and it was very comfortable to deliver in. I wish it had better mail capacity, but I can't really complain. It got 25 mpg ON THE ROUTE and it was 8 years old when I got it. Plus my husband replaced the engine because someone blew it up racing in it. So the repairs were due and not a common issue.

Additional Comments ( Include things like modifications you have done, window height, console, etc.) 4 Dr. extended cab. removed the 2 back jump seats and left seat. installed a RHD kit from Postal Things and their mail tray. I use a hands free window on a daily basis to keep out the heat and cold. I have worn it out and need another. I have a cab height camper shell on the back for large parcels and DPS mail trays. I put a 2X4 under the back bolts of the passanger seat for added height since the seat was not height adjustable. Because of the RHD kit, my left foot space is limited.

Type of road surface driven on. CHECK ALL THAT APPLY Pavement|Gravel|Dirt
Type of weather conditions driven in... CHECK ALL THAT APPLY Normal |Ice/Sleet/Snow
Mail Capacity? Plenty of room for heavy mail
Durability Hybrid system saves brakes. Both back door handles are broken (inside the door). Front end seems loose, more than normal.
Reliability She cranks up every day.
Gas Mileage on route Averaging 26 mpg. I'm getting really good at stretching the electric motor out as far as possible.
Problems you have had with it At 40000 it refused to cycle and go into hybrid mode. I got connected with hybrid mech in KC and they talked my local guy through it. For the last four months I've had a problem with stalling. If I slow down too fast, start too fast. No trouble coming in every morning, but about 1/3 of the way through the route the trouble starts. On the way home I have to keep it under 35 to keep it from stalling. As mentioned above, both rear doors won't open.
Additional Comments ( Include things like modifications you have done, window height, console, etc.) Console has shift in it so I had to break down and put in pedals. Works great. The nature of the hybrid recharge system is such that I hardly ever need brakes. Now that's a moneysaver!
