Review
The first thing I noticed about my Ford
Focus was how solid it feels. I owned
an Oldsmobile Achieva previously and
loved it. The Focus feels as solid as
the Olds. The steering base is small
and it takes corners easily. The design
inside and out is outstanding! I love
this car!

My brakes worned out quickly and I
don't think for a new car brakes going
out so quickly is safe for anyone. Also
its a slow car at first but then it
picks up.

Vehicle is very reliable and has a much
better ride than I thought when I
purchased it. The engine is quite petty
and allows you to transition into
highway traffic quite easily. The fuel
economy is very good too. I plan to
buy another one this year.

Purchased this car in 9/2003 as a lease return. It's
been a good car thus far, save the flat tire, or the
bad seat belts, the arm rest coming apart, and last
but not least the $160 new key.

I am very happy with my purchase. The
Focus was recommended to me from a
friend of mine who had one. You feel
safe in it. Fuel economy is great,
especially with rising gas prices. It
is fun to drive. It has a smooth ride.
My only concern is that when it
initially came out Consumer Reports
rated it very highly. Later, it lower
its ratings because of its realiability
and customer satisfaction.

Ford could have a winner if it
would abide by its own slogan "Quality
is Job #1" I've had a water leak
through the windshield that
necessitated a new carpet being
ordered. Gas mileage is atrocious.
I've had quite a few other annoyances,
but by far the worst happened last
week. I only have 10,500 miles on it
and the dealer just told me that I
need new brakes on all 4 wheels!!
After doing some research, I found a
web site: www.fordfocusbrakeproblem.com
That says it all. You know there is a
problem when a site has had over
60,000 views. There also was a class
action suit filed in California. I
called Ford to no avail.

I have 45,000 miles on the 2002 Focus
SE 4 Door Sedan I have it regularly
serviced and have not had a major
problem to date.
The Focus is not that bad of a car if
you are on a budget. I would not pay
over 13K for a Focus under any
circumstance. It would be a great
student car, either for a college or
high school student.
The Focus definitely has limitations,
size of course is one thing, but for a
compact it isn't that bad. I'm a big
guy (6'3, 250) so a Focus is a bit
small for me, but I can manage.
Other limitations is power.
Fuel Economy is very good, I don't have
the exact MPG, but its low 30s MPG.

We had a 2002 Focus Sedan. There are
some nice things about it: lots of
power, handles nice, great stereo.
But, this car was not meant to be
driven by anyone over 5'10". I'm 6'3"
and hated it! The seat is the most
uncomfortable thing I've ever sat in.
And when you pushed it back to get leg
room, the steering wheel was at a full
arms length away!
Also: our power steering pump
and "rack" were shot after 36,000
miles. Makes me wonder what else is
wrong with these cars.
