So far, the power steering went out,
the turn signal broke two times, the
remote trunk release inside the car is
hit or miss and something electrical
causes a back light/turn signal bulb to
burn out every month or so lately.

Review
This is a great, fun car for $15,000.
I've had this car for two and a half
years, and if I stay in this price
bracket for my next vehicle, I'll
definitely consider another Focus. In
fact, I may just keep this one (rather
than trading it in) as a toy to tweak
and play with. I compared this to a
Grand Am and a Cavalier, but the Focus
offered more for less money. Two
thumbs up to Ford this time around.

had this vehicle for 3 yrs. and went to
dealership 30 times with something or
the other mechanical issue. Not good
for interstate long drives due to seats
so stiff and unconmfortable. Ride is
truck like(so much for sport
suspension), safety features are ok.
handles well at high speed. Heavy
exterior noise is very uncomfortable.
Some components are build cheap
plastics. Fuel Economy is good.

Great daily driver that I use in sales
in So. Calif. area. Has been
exceptionally reliable and 95% problem
free. 80,000 miles on it now; never has
used any oil. I change my own oil
regularily at 5M intervals. Very
adequate interior room compared to my
last 2 Tempos. I am a happy camper!

Have owned my Focus since October of
2001. I get 27mpg in the city and
31mpg on the highway. Have experienced
no problems in 22,000 miles. It is fun
to drive and handles well in Michigan
winters. The trunk is huge for a small
car. Have had several passengers
express their suprise for how nicely
the car rides. The controls are placed
well. Ford appears to finally have
the 'world car' they have been trying
for since the Escort was introduced.
Hopefully, the problems they had when
the car was first introduced have been
resolved. My Focus has had no recalls.

I put allot of milage on my car . More
miles in a year than most people do in
two . High milage or not this car has
been a headache . I absolutley hate
it . In between having to replace the
o2 sensor not 1, or 2 times , but 3 .
Having to have both rear window motors
replaced twice.My quater window broke
due to body flex,and why does a
quater window cost more than a
windshield anyways.My ac quit working
right after my warrenty ran out.My
radiator dumped all of its fluid out on
a roadtrip. My power steering pump,
and a few other things.Not to mention
all the recalls this car has had its
not worth what Im paying for it.

The car itself has been a great
reliable auto. I have a problem with
the service of the dealer that sold me
the car. I'm not please with that.

I got this car as a first car and it
has been a great car. I love how it
handles. The car seems like its on
tracks. It never slides out. Not that I
have tried.....lol i have had the
recalls done and the only problem is
that it seems to have some problems in
the snow. But i think thats its just
the tires. If you were looking for a
small car look at the focus!

After reviewing and test driving
several of the smaller cars, civic,
neon, etc. we decided to purchase the
ZTS Focus. We have been very pleased
with all aspects of this car. The
design, layout, and way this car
drives made me an instant fan of
Ford's newer efforts. The interior
ergonomics, materials, handling, and
pleasantly refined Ztec twin cam motor
has made the purchase one we have been
quite pleased to have made.

i have had nothing but problems with
the squeaky breaks since the first week
of buying this car.i have had several
sets of these put in. i have had to
have a oxygen sensor put in and just
this week have put a new battery and
had my alternator redone. i wish i
could say it is fixed but no,i find out
now that there is a break somewhere
that the fire isn't getting back and
forth from the alternator to the
battery. needless to say the car is now
running on the battery only. so now
what? help!!!!!!!!!!!!
