Review
The Focus gets great gas mileage. As far the interior of the car I think it's cheap and does not wear well. The engine is great, the A/C is no good; it stopped working after a year and half. Have never had problems with tire wear. I had gotten 55,000 on the first set and are only on my 2nd set. As of now, I would most likely not buy another Ford product when I do go to get a new car.

I am the original owner of my Focus. I have been driving it for 3-4 years. It is not the fastest car at the light, but you knew that. It is however, a great deal: once it gets going, it really goes; reliable, responsive, handles extremely well (I live in the midwest and laugh at many when I pull easily out of snow), and easy at the gas pump. All in all, a great little car.

More fun to drive than any other car I've owned. Would buy a new car if I could find one more fun to drive.

Review
I had a large Town car prior to the Focus. When I test drove this car, I was very surprised on how this car handled. I enjoy a 5 speed and with 16" rims and size 205 low profile tires on a small car car; this car handlings is EXCELLENT. Mileage during the summer with the air conditioner on is about 25 mpg. I average about 22,000 a year. My daughter bought a new Focus in 2003. It's a 4 door, 5 speed standard with regular rims and tires. I was surprised her car was even quicker than mine. In general, my next car will be a Focus. You have a great little car here, please continue to move forward with it.

Bought it new in Mar 01 to commute
between VA and CT plus a lot of around
town. 87,500 miles latter I'm just
doing my first brake job. Other then
oil and gas and the occasional
windshield wipers I've had no, repeat
NO, problems. I had the fuel pump
upgraded for free at 67K due to the
recall, but it wasn't a problem yet.
Could always use more power, but it's
got enough for commuting and I
routinely get 30+mpg mixed driving.
Oh, I'm 6'2", 230#, so the interior
room is GREAT for me solo. My three
sons are all teen agers and the oldest
is a big 16, so it does get a little
crowded with all four onboard. Good
enough car to give to the oldest for
his first ride.

I really like this car. Its fun to
drive and it has alota pep in it for a
small car. I got this car 8/04. The
dealer was having a big sale but in
their add they missprinted the price of
my car! I got it for just under
$7,000! Its loaded except it doesn't
have a sunroof:( Front Brakes sound
and feel weird some times but they work
when you need them. I have drive 1000
miles on it just this last month lol.
The car came with 57,000 miles on it
already. When I got the car the bumper
had lots of specaly dots of missing
paint. But the dealer hooked me up
with a free touch up job. Another cool
thing they gave me free was keyless
entry.

I just got this car on August 2, 2003.
It is my first car, and I am a guy,
but it is pretty sporty, the 2Dr ZX3
Hatchback. I wish I could of gotten a
Chevy Camero Z28 310 Hp, but I ended
up with this pretty darn good car with
59,064 miles on it. I know a good car
when I see one.

I've had this car in for the same
problem 4 times. The ignition
cylinder locks up and leaves me
stranded, and the only option is to
having it towed. 6months later back
in the dealer same problem, old part
number again. 3months later same
problem but new part number.(as if a
new part # really helps) They say the
key is the problem and thats what
causing it to lock up. It'll cost $150
to cut new keys. This of course isn't
under warranty..If they had any
custumer service this wouldn't be an
issue and would of all been handle at
the inital repair process.

Review
I got this car a month ago and it has
been all fun. I have had no problems
with it. I love the high rpm's and
keeping up with my friends and their
V6's is no prob. Heck I beat most of
them in a race. I would recommend this
car for everyone. The ones that
complain about this car probably drive
it like crap, with their feet out the
window and cell phones glued to their
head. Respect a car, and it wont go
wrong on you, but if you insist on
flooring it after every light, and
slamming on the brakes at the next
light, then yeah, no crap you got
problems. But as for me, this car has
been nothing but fun, and I dont see
any problems in the future with this
car.
