Author's Review
My husband and I were looking for a new vehicle(our first) and decided on a Ford Escort. The price was right between eleven and twelve thousand dollars, and the four doors are appropriate for a family of four. The back seat fits 2 car seats, but not much else.
Trunk space is great if you are going on a nearby vacation or camping somewhere. It fits a stroller, diaper bag, and other baby supplies beautifully.
Driving is smooth, but the passengers feel all bumps. The one thing I really dislike about my car is the engine noise is extremely loud. You hear every little shift and brake the car makes. One of the bonuses though is the power brakes, steering, windows and doors. There is expandable leg room for the front, and the bucket seats also recline.
I really feel this car is great in price, size, and comfort for new parents. I love to drive my car, and with 2 kids, everything seems to fit well into the trunk for long trips to the grocery store or Grandma's house.
