2002 Ford ZX2

I have 2 '99 zx2's and they are awesome. Super reliable. Ive owned mine for 7 years and it's never failed. A wheel and tire upgrade makes a MASSIVE difference. I switched my stock 14x4s for 15x7 wheels and went from 185/65/14 tires to a 205/55r15 and im soooooooo happy with the results. The car feels way more planted. My fuel economy is 34 hwy and 30 city. It's super easy to delete the stock 105 mph governor on the '99 which will allow about 130 mph. I have done well in autoX and rallyX and I run about 14.5 on the quarter with my stock zx2

Bought this car new in 2002... Just sold it to my goddaughter to drive to college! It has NEVER let me down! It's only required normal wear maint & service ... Gas mileage is AMAZING! It's at 151K miles & has a few things going on. Needs blower motor for AC & coolant lines need replaced. If you're looking for affordable & reliable transportation, you will not be disappointed! It is a 4 cyl... Power not its strong suit, but if you have a standard tranny like I've had, it is a little quicker than an automatic . I had trouble bogging down going through the mountains in Colorado ... But prob common for a 4cyl at high altitude! Great overall veh! It never let me down over 14 yrs!!

176000 as of 10/26/2012. Just replaced original Timing Belt (it didn't break - a pulley did). have had a few inexpensive repairs which I did myself. Car is fun to drive, great gas mileage and the motor/trans is great. Owned this car for 12 years and without a doubt has been the best vehicle I've ever owned. To bad Ford discontinued it. Interior has held up very well. Engine doesn't burn or leak oil. It still has the original clutch and entire exhaust system.
