Is a 2002 Ford Escort a good first car?

I'm hoping to buy a 2002 Ford Escort on Monday, automatic and has 64,000 miles on it.

Good first car or no?

Ford Escorts are perfect first cars. You get to practice driving skills better in cars like that, learn how to properly care for vehicle, and not feel too much remorse when you scratch and ding it.

Yes, this is a great example of a good first car.

Average quality. But yes, it could have good potential if the seller has proof of all of it's service and maintenance records.

  • I'm in high school and about to get my first car looking for a loud, fast and good looking car So far I have looked into ford mustangs, I have a choice between a 2007 ford mustang gt with a 8 cylinder motor with automatic transmission, or I can get a 2013 mustang v6. My question is which of the two cars is a faster and louder car cause I would like to show it off and have heads turn by its engine as I drive off on the street. Thank you very much about to get my first car looking for a loud, fast and good looking car?
