Fun To Drive - Easy To Park

NY Commuter, 06/19/2006
2004 Ford Focus ZX5 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful

A great car, wonderfully flexible and spacious interior, never felt claustrophobic like other cars in its class that I looked at (like Corolla, Matrix, Scion, Civic, etc.). 28 mpg average city-and-highway driving, and I drive in New York City. Zippy handling, comfortable ride, a real pleasure to drive. Why anyone who wants a small car buys anything else is beyond me. This car is a great bargain and completely reliable.

FORD FOCUS ZTS REVIEW

2004 Ford Focus ZTS 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)

The overall balance of the Ford Focus ZTS is remarkable for the price of the car. I have driven more expensive cars and have had less enjoyment with those. I was so impressed with the handling, performance and comfort of the ZTS that I bought a second one two months later.

Is it true? Fun to drive? YES!! This is gonna be the weirdest thing ever, but with the way this car handles and the 5-speed control and the awesome design... I actually enjoy sending those car payments out!

My pocket-rocket economy car

2004 Ford Focus ZX3 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

The Focus' European heritage is evident when I hear the "thunk" when I close the doors, and when I zip up to 40mph on Sunset Blvd in a flash. The only time I need 1st gear is when leaving a standing stop uphill. It is so quit that I've trained myself to look at the tach before turning the key. Is this an economy car?
