FocusCanada Forums

One of my best friends just recently got in a car accident and she just bought a car that was affordable for her, around $5,500... and that car is a 2000 Ford Escort ZX2 or also known as, Ford Escort Coupe.

She joined a forum a couple of days ago to ask questions about the car, modifications, wanted opinions, etc... but noticed it was almost pure American...

Does anyone know of any Escort Club in Canada/Ontario?

there is, i cant remember it, but the forum is dead, barely anyone posts on it.
her best bet would be to come here, the escort has the same engine as the focus
and i have friend with one that is turbocharged, so i know alot about them

Look up a guy on here called "shiny blue escort"

He's part of a club.

Doesnt the ZX2 have the Zetec?

Yeah I was going to say Shinny Blue escort knows a lot about those cars, and has a really nice one as well he works at a dealer He also is a member on torontodomestics.com there are a lot of people their who have had escort as well a lot of Ford members.

i think in 2000 the went to the zetech

Z is for Zetec engine
X is for the generation
2 is for the two doors

Only made ZX2's in the year 2000

Alright, thanks guys. I try and find him... and yeah, I was thinking she could just come here. But, she still wants to try and find a Escort club.

they had zetec's indeed... I got mine from Big M in Medicine Hat AB in 1998. It was a great car, I blasted 100,000kms in year one :P but it had some wierd and mysterious electrical issues... was glad to pass it on before it caused any problems

I had one prior to my S2. There was a board called zx2ontario but it wasn't too active. There are still some guys around there I think.

They made the ZX2 since 98

I beg to differ ;) I returned home (Ontario) from Alberta in May of 1999 driving my ZX2... it was burnt orange.

definitely have a chat with shiny blue escort... he knows his stuff, that's for sure, and he's a good guy. Crazy like all escort owners tho :P *

if you go to Bay Ford Lincoln you can see his car in person, and I tell ya, it's a lot more impressive in person than it is in the pics... it's a very nice ride.

*just buggin' of course

Hmmm, well she told me they made them in only 2000... or maybe she said they STOPPED making them in 2000... either way... that's besides the point :P

Thanks guys.

correct... in canada, they kept selling the escort as a fleet product, maybe for a year or so but essentially the focus was the replacement compact car.

ugly front end in the states

eww yeah for sure lol :huh:

I actually have listings for the escort untill 2003, you just couldn't get them here past late 99

I saw a couple in the states a few weeks ago like three at one truck stop in montana, they aren't that bad up close. What made me notice was the rims
