Ford ZX2 Ford ZX2 offers sporty styling, responsive handling, brisk acceleration, and everyday comfort and practicality for one or two people. Its back seat and trunk are fully usable. Yet the ZX2 is easy on fuel, and costs less than some base-level sedans. Gone is the smooth, grille-less look, replaced by a dark horizontal slash between the headlights.

Default whatsup everybody

whats goin on..im 17 just bought my car which is a 2002 used silver ford zx2
i love it..i bought it for 3500 dollars cash, and it only has 55,400 miles on it. great deal. came with the head unit inside and i love it..now just a few questions
on average if you take good care of the car how many miles are they good for?
is the rattling on the inside normal when sitting at a light?
i love the speed on it, any ideas of anything cheap to do..i might put neons on the inside of the car and tint the windows.
thanks guys

The automatics are bad for idle vibration, especially in gear. They are internally balanced 4-cylinders, this is normal. I have over 180,000 miles on my car and I've been boosted (turbo) for 3 years. They will last a loooong time if you keep up on the maintainence. The automatics do have a tendency to overheat (the transmission) because the stock cooler is not large enough. Get an auxillary cooler to install to keep the temps down.
