The best sport compact car ever built!

2002 Ford Focus SVT 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 6M)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
My sonic blue SVT Focus is an amazing machine. The tuned header leading into the throaty exhuast sounds perfect. The 6 speed Getrag transmission is geared for sporty driving, never leaving you in the low rpm dumps. The styling gets looks, but only from people who know what it is. The insurance is cheap, and my payments won't break the bank. Overall a great car for the money, and there isn't another car out there that can hold a candle to it's handling prowess. Just read the magazine articles, and you'll soon agree.
Focus better than my new Toyota Matrix

2002 Ford Focus ZX3 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

This is an exceptional car. It's not until we got a new Toyota Matrix (wifes car) that I really appreciate how well if drives and handles. The Matrix is a solid car, but it's no match to the ZX3 when it comes to driving dynamics. The steering response and feedback is outstanding. The Matrix feels refined, but you don't get that feeling of being connected to the road like you do in the Focus. Yes, this car has recalls which makes great reason some to trash it. Ford has issued recalls for even the most trivial problem, how can you fault them for that? All I say to the people trashing this car is "your loss".

2002 Ford Focus ZTS 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

I was set on buying the wagon version of the Focus. On a whim, I test drive the car I bought, a ZTS sedan, and was instantly smitten with this car. The ride quality and handling was noticably better than the normal Focus sedans, and much better than the wagon. I drove away with it two hours later and it has been the perfect car. So far, there are 10,550ish miles on the clock, and there's not been one, single problem. It's still as fun to drive as the day it was bought--highly recommended.

Sexy car for a great price. I had many friends rudely tell me I made a wrong choice and that I should have bought a honda civic. Well, how can I? I bought it, so I must deal with it - so quick complaining! It's not your car!! Anyway! :) Besides the breaking, everything is fine. Generally, the car is noisy when stopping. Although the breaks do not squeak, I can hear from underneath my car each little push I make on the pedel.
Very pleased with my selection

I've had my car for a month and I love it. I like the style of my car. When you drive a focus you can feel great control of the road that you possess. My only after thought is that I should have looked at a hyundai elantra, for the price I paid I probably could've got a loaded elantra gt. My only problem with the elantra is that in my opinion it didn't look as nice as my Focus. Also I went from a 90 grand prix w/3.1 v6 to this focus and i've noticed the difference in power. However compared to the cavalier and the zx2 my zetec is much better. All in all the focus is fun to drive and comfortable in the inside.
