2.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Title: almost no info about 1997-1999 models, May 17, 1999

By A Customer

This book is basically the same one published by Chilton that covers Ford Escorts up to about 1995. The title indicates that up to 1999 models are covered. Buyer beware! It does have OK material and photos for earlier 1.8 and 1.9 liter engines. However 2.0 liter engine information is lacking (i.e. late models 1997-1999). For example, jobs on 1.8 and 1.9 liter engines contain instructions and photographs for reference. 2.0 liter engines recieve terse comments and occasionally, crude cartoon drawings that are generally worthless. Adding several pages of new material is less than a revision in this case and does not justify a title change. Look elswhere for late model Ford Escort information.

3.0 out of 5 stars not for the beginner, February 28, 2006

Like many Chilton's manuals, these are more for someone with a bit of experience beforehand. If you are not familiar with working on cars in advance, this book might give you just enough information to start screwing stuff up before you end up taking it to a garage anyway.
