Used 2000 Ford Focus Sedan Consumer Reviews
Love the Lil Red Car
I bought my used Focus SE sight unseen from the local dealership to save wear on my F-150. I now have 230k miles on it and still love driving it. Only major problem was a ignition switch. I keep it tuned and have normal maintenance done. It has paid for itself many times over. I heard about all the issues shortly after buying it and was prepared for the worse. Thanks Ford for building a great little car.
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!
best car
I love my 2000 ford focus, with over 100000km on it i've only had few problems. i love it. for a small car its big.
Car is worth nothing
In and out of the dealer that's where my car has spent more time rather than on the road. For the past 2 years I have run into problem after problem. Breaks making noises, gas pedal getting stuck, you name it! My car has had repairs for it. I will never even think of purchasing a Ford again!
