2001 Ford Focus SE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
Radiator parts ($780), 2 wheel bearings, 2 ball joints, brakes, front axel, battery, tires lasted 25k, AC is out, radio broken, fan fuse replaced and out again so fan only works on high, valve cover leaking oil on belt causing loud shriek, loses power on hills, oil pan rusted through and leaking, shocks bad, rust is very bad. Yes it’s old but a ford does not age like some do, so it costs more in repairs than a more expensive model. I won’t buy another ford focus.

Bought low mile 2001 ZTW wagon used, it’s pushing 130k. Been a great car. Fun to drive. Best seats ever and I’m 6’4”. Old, worn warhorse but I’m scared the sunroof won’t close if opened, my AC is gone and the fan only works high. Got my money’s worth out of it.

I got my car from a private sale in 2009. I have had it ever since. The only problem I ever had with the car was the fact that this particular model is known for its wheel bearings to go out very frequently. But once my mechanic changed brands of bearings it has worked great.

Keep America rolling 911 car

This little One Owner yellow Focus was well loved from day one. I never lose it in a parking lot. It was purchased just after the attack on 911 to keep America rolling. It still runs great after 162,000 miles. It has had a few expected repair issues over the years. The biggest repair in 2014 the fuel pump was replaced. "Car blows a fuse and stalls when the fuel pump is going bad". 2016 Current known defects - A/C failed for the first time, passenger power window sticks unless you open the driver side door. Small one inch rust spot on the hood and truck edge. Minor oil leak. Otherwise I still love the car. The seats are comfortable. It is a little noisy but it is a small car.
