Review
This car was bought for my wife and
daughter. They are short and still could
see the corners of the car and reach the
pedles with ease. The surprise was when
I drove it, I had head room and leg
room. (I'm 6') I love to drive it on
our back roads in the area. They are
hilly and windy giving you all the
opportunity to drive. This car is FUN
FUN to drive. We have not had any
maintenance problems.

I've driven other SW and none compare to the Ford
Focus. It's really built to last. Confort is
outstanding, as well as road handling and overall
quality.

I own a hi milege focus wagon (126K)
and continue to rack up the miles.
Overall I enjoy the sporty look of the
focus and like to drive it. But there
is always room for improvement. My
automatic has a fluttering during
regular driving. But no major trips to
the dealer.

After growing up in Detroit, I never
thought I would buy a foreign car. I
have finally had enough. After driving
this car for 3 yrs and 90K mi, I am
finally putting an end to my
frustration. Hwy fuel economy of 23-
25 mpg/ 250 mile range - no power
with the automatic transmission and
recall after recall after etc... If you
really want to see what a mistake
this car is all you have to do is try
trading one in, Hold onto your shorts.
For me the answer is toyota or
honda or mazda and finding
somewhere to park down the street
when i visit my parents. PS I am on
my fourth set of tires with rotation
and alignments done regularly.

When I bought it, this wagon was the
last one in its size and price range
available in the in the US.Drove similar
rental in European traffic - was sold.
Handles better than Civic previously
owned. Driving car every day in DC
traffic w/5spd and keeping up w/the
flow easily. W/5spd manual and ZETEC it
is an interesting and fun vehicle.
Interior holding up to 2 kids and big
dog. Mileage worse than expected, but in
traffic, I should not be surprised.
Avoid Sheehy Ford in Springfield.

I had a Sedan in Europe so I thought I
knew what I was getting. I wanted more
room, so bought the Wagon here in US. I
have the same engine as I had in UK,
but milage is much worse [current: 22
town/26 road] and power is less. Ford
mechanics can't give me any reason - I
assume it has to do with emission
control tuning of the engine. Road
noise is there, but for this price it
is low [lot less than my Ranger
Truck!]. Fun to drive, but here in TX I
expect to be crushed by a Hummer2 any
day now.

Overall, I like this car. However, I
have been disappointed by several
things lately. It just came out of
warranty, so of course, parts have
begun to fail. I already had to
replace the entire brakes, including
rotors. Some parts of the interior
have begun falling apart and the car is
vibrating very badly when it is driven
over 50 mph. Also, it is not what you
would call a quiet ride. It is VERY
loud inside during highway driving. I
don't neccesarily regret that I bought
this car, however I wouldn't purchase
it again. Next time I will go for
something that has a better reliabiltiy
record like a Honda or Toyota.

I bought my 2001 Ford Focus Wagon new
in 11/00. After trying a few versions,
I selected the 5-speed manual with the
Zetec engine (don't believe the reviews
that say this is not available!).
I also got the "comfort package" which
included a number of options tht are
nice; I think the cruise control is
part of that package.
This car holds a full-size concert
grand harp and still gets 36 miles per
gallon. It is comfortable, fun to
drive, and I have had no problems with
it. There was one recall for a minor
part that had not affected my car at
all and it was taken car of easily &
promptly. Excellent dealer service.

You couldn't ask to drive a better
wagon fo the price. Powerful,
responsive yet silent engine.
Remarquable driving experience, in
particular on city streets and highways.
The cabin has plenty of room, and is
very comfortable. Honestly, I don't
know what else could have done Ford to
make this car better for the price.
Considering all the instruments and
gadgets this automobile ha, I rate it 9
or 10 across the board.
