Used 2003 Ford Focus Sedan Consumer Reviews
Fun Little Car
I bought this car because I was traveling long distance to work, at first 120 miles on way now about 60. The gas mileage is good. I avergave about 30 mpg. I have really enjoyed having it. No major problems. I did have to replace the ignition switch once and the engine light stays on, I'm told it's because of where I buy my gas. I just find this a fun little car. My entire family enjoys the car. It goes good in the snow and wet roads as long as I take it nice and easy. Ford must have done something right with this one because I see lots of them on the road.
Got rid of it
Bought this car at 40k miles and got rid of it at 64k. We had the key problem where the ignition locks up; we just never took the key out, always left it in the car to avoid getting stranded. Couldn't put chains on it. Trunk wouldn't shut properly. Gas mileage steadily declined despite regular oil changes and check ups. After reading all the reviews about the car crapping out around 60k, we just wanted to be rid of it.
Don't Buy!!!!
Have been in the shop since purchased vehicle!!!! One thing after the other and Ford is no help at all. Trading in this car next week!!

First Time Buyer
This was my first car I bought on my own, right after college. At the time it was the perfect car for me. Ive had the car over a year now and its still in excellent condition and Ive put over 22k miles on it. The sound system sounds great and its a smooth and comfortable ride. Just wish the engine was a little faster, doesnt have much of a pick up. Ive now become bored with the car, and wish it was more appealing to an early 20s market.
