Ford Focus Care & Maintenance

Check the Trunk

Written by: thenutt on Aug 29, 2006 00:56 PM

You should check to see if your trunk is wet as well. I know my boyfriend just got a 2007 Focus SE and we found out after having it only a week that the back window is leaking into the trunk, and then down on to the floor of the car. :| Not Impressed. Ford still hasn't given a solution and still has his car for another day. Read More...

Ford Focus Prices Paid and Buying Experience

Re: 2007 ZX5 SES... [afidler]

Written by: nortsr1 on Aug 29, 2006 06:32 AM

That few hundred over invoice might be a wash because of no "extra added dealer fees". Do they have any "extra added fees" usually? Figure out your exact cost at "INVOICE" thru the Edmunds site with all of your added options. Then see what your price would have been as compared to the X-Plan pricing. Remember, there is a hefty rebate on the Focus. I have bought several ... Read More...

Which Hatchback?

Re: suzuki reno [canuck785]

Written by: doohickie on Aug 02, 2006 03:49 PM

I took a long, hard look at the Reno last fall. In case you didn't know, it is the hatchback version of the Suzuki Forenza, so if you want information on the platform, you can go to the Forenza forum and ask there. In the end I got a Hyundai Elantra. Roughly the same cost, but I think it's a much nicer car for the money. It also is a lot more popular and has more owner forums ... Read More...

The word on the internet is that *if* there is a hatch version of the Elantra, it will be a 2008 model year release. The Ford Focus only comes with three doors in a hatch-back and four doors in a sedan. Go to Ford's Focus website and you will see the Focus comes as a 3-door hatch (ZX3), 4-door sedan (ZX4), 5-door hatch (ZX5), and a wagon (ZXW). Before buying my Elantra, ... Read More...

Spy photos of the "revised" Ford Focus for 2007 have been released. Nothing changes except the front grill and possibly the headlights. Is this supposed to increase sales? http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=29&article_id=10702 Read More...

Next Generation Focus

Written by: huntley on Mar 27, 2006 11:48 AM

The next generation Focus is due either for the 2007 or 2008 model year. I suspect it will be for 2008 but will be introduced in spring of 2007. No information has been released on plans for the Focus. Ford probably has not decided what to do. Supposedly the next generation is going to remain on the current platform with design "tweeks". The Euro version, if sold in ... Read More...

Ford Focus Wagon

Re: FOCUS WAGON QUESTIONS [carglow]

Written by: jazvan on Jul 01, 2005 00:52 PM

1. Yes the quality has improved steadily. I would recommend anything from 2002 on. 2. Yes the 2005 2.0 is a Mazda-design which is called the Duratec. It is manufactured by Ford in the case of the Focus and Mazda manufactures the same engine for some Mazdas. The head design is more efficient then the older 2.0 Zetec. The Focus Duratec motors began in some mid 2003 Foci ... Read More...

Focus to avoid global platform

Written by: f111d on Aug 16, 2004 06:03 AM

Cost, potential quality glitches are behind decision Although Ford Motor Co. wants to develop more cars and trucks from global platforms, it’s making an exception for the next-generation Ford Focus. When the re-engineered Focus is introduced to the United States in 2007, it will not share mechanicals with the C1 version of the Focus sold in Europe. Headline ... Read More...
