Used 2000 Ford Focus Sedan Consumer Reviews
Ford Focus
I realy love the design of the Focus. It lookds very good from all angles.
Ford Made a Boo Boo with the 2000 Focus
There have been numerous problems still occuring and Ford cannot fix them. Wiring seems to go bad a lot. I would never buy a ford again because of my experience with the ford focus
This car sucks!
I was very proud of my Focus when I first bought it! It was just an adorable car to me...until it started behaving in true Ford fashion! At 33,000 miles, my rear axle actually broke. My tire could've come off and I could've been killed! And now my A/C condenser and one of my window regulators are broken..not to mention my radio randomly just shuts off from time to time. Also, my key gets stuck in the ignition or just won't turn to crank up the car! The car needs to be trashed and I'm trading it in as soon as I can.
I Still Like It!!!
I got this car in September as my very first car. I freaked out after reading the reviews on it - they are very discouraging. But...it's been 6 months and it hasn't given me any problems whatsoever. I have driven Neons, Cavaliers, and Accents. All three can not compare to the Focus.
Bad/Scary
The car was bought used and was only two years old at the time of purchase. After only 5 months of owning the car I discovered a major problem with loss of vehicle power during turning at a normal speed, which later became a recall on this vehicle. (Almost had several collisions due to this problem) The first time I called the Ford Co. about the problem they said their had been no similar reports. Also I had taken the car to the dealership 3 times for repair of this problem, which was finally solved when Ford sent me a recall notice. This was the first of several other recalls I had to have fixed. Every year something major has gone wrong, costing usually around 1K. Please spare yourself!
