Overview
Ford's little ZX2 offers sporty styling, responsive handling, brisk acceleration, and everyday comfort and practicality for one or two people. You get all that for hardly more money than an economy sedan. It offers front and rear seating and an impressively large trunk for such a small car. The ZX2 is easy on fuel. Overall, it's a fine combination of performance, practicality, comfort, and economy. Model Lineup
