How many miles can you expect to get from a 98 ford escort zx2?

Answer 1

I have a 99 zx2 and I have put 166,000 miles on it and it is still going strong. I wasn't the best at keeping up on service, so if you are then you have a lot of life left in your car. Change your tranny fluid and filter as well and you will be fine.

AnswerThere are many variables to this question. Assuming that the car sees it's recommended maintainance it should be good for 200,000+ miles. I have a '98 ZX2 with a 5-speed. It now has 154,453 miles on it and I expect many more. AnswerI have a 1998 zx2 with an automatic transmission that has 178,000 miles on it and besides some minor problems, it's working fine. AnswerNo reason you can't get at least 300,000 miles if you take care of it. Although "taking care of it" is very relative. Answerdepending on the model you have its not uncommon to get 250k-300k on the zx2s. note that the transmossion on the autos may verry well need replacing at 140k or so, and replacing it with a slightly better production Mazda tranny is a good idea (the stock Ford auto trannys are rated for 105 WHP, where the Mazda can hold up for 132 WHP or so.)
