Used 2002 Ford Focus Consumer Reviews
Great Bargain, Great Car!
I purchased a 2000 black ZTS. No problems thus far, great handling and feel to it!
IN SHOP TOO MUCH
My car has been in the shop almost 6 times already for paint coming off the car just stalling out stereo always turining off steering not responding and still it is a piece of junk it always acts up every day i have a new problem that i notice its either the engine making a noise or something not working.

Great Commuter Car
I used to drive a 2002 Maxima SE. I was suprised by how little I miss it. The Focus is a great commuter car that's fun to drive.
2002 Focus SE Sedan
I have a 2002 Focus SE sedan with automatic. It's very comfortable, easy to drive, fairly good on gas and the power is sufficient (but could increased for better overtaking ability). It has been reliable with no repairs needed yet. Rear seat access and room is good and a child car seat fits there easily. The trunk is large with lots of space, a low liftover and flat floor. Build quality seems very good. Fairly low noise at highway speeds.
Most for the $$
By far the best "bang for the buck". I had seen the car, and went back 2 months later to buy it. Even at MSRP, it would be great, but I got it below invoice, and then lots of rebates on top of that, so for the price, nothing else could even compete. Only had 1 warranty issue so far (the horn), but may take it in to have them investigate a squeek/rattle near the rear hatch. Great utility by being a hatchback. I thought mileage could be better, but on recent highway trip averaged 28 to 30mpg, far above 25mpg EPA highway rating.
