Used 2001 Ford Focus Consumer Reviews
Best Entry Level From Ford Ever
We've owned the Focus for over a year now and are driving it hard, nearly 25000 miles in the first year. I'm continuously impressed with its solid feel, quietness, and drive train performance. Living in the Northeast, we outfitted with snow tires all around, and find the winter performance outstanding... very stable and sure footed. I've purchased entry level Fords in the past(Escort/Festiva/Fiesta) and find this model to be Ford's best ever offering.
I Love My Focus ZTS
I've had this car since January 01. It's fun to drive, handles very well, has excellent passenger room and trunk space. Good small car for mostly in-town use that I can take on a longer road trip and it doesn't beat me up. I only drive it 8000 miles per year so I might have it another 8 years if it holds up. I've had some occasional minor but annoying throttle body sticking since I bought it. The dealer replaced it once under warranty, but it still sticks periodically.

The BEST 4 Cyl. car I have ever driven!
I really enjoy this car! I was kinda skeptical at first because it was a 4 Cyl. I had driven a 4 Cyl before and it had NO get up and go. This car blows that truck out of the water!
horrible car 2 be your first
i thaught it was nice but really it has been nothing but problems.Like: engine shaking and dropping,a whole in transmission,air conditioner stop working,engine light come on,made entire front shake,trunk pop open going over railraod tracks,key control entry stoped working,leaks in car so carpet got mildewd,brake light would come on for no reason,the gaslite would go on when i had just filled it,cd player act silly.the problems go on and they still wont replace it.
Best Ford of the last decade
As I approach 200,000 miles on this car I have no regrets, except it replaced a beloved 20 year old Fiesta.Aside from regular service it is only now having more issues, but I am only thinking of replacing it with one of the last years the hatchback was available. My car was rare and special, I ordered it with stability control, 4 wheel disc and ABS and traction control. With snows it performed superb in winter driving. Even 10 years old, the styling is undated. The car had a solid build, compared to many Fords in it's day, and even with all the miles the car looks new. Excellent fuel economy, dependable, I would recommend to anyone.
