Used 2004 Ford Focus ZX3 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
2004 Ford Focus ZX3 2 Door hatchback 2.0
Had a couple minor problems with, but with mileage now at 135,000 and running well mostly, I can't really complain. Only problem is if I run for a while, stop for 10 minutes and start, has tendency to die on me. But as long as I stop and keep the engine running, no problem. Hope to drive it for many more miles. Runs like a new car (other than the one problem mentioned, really feels like a new car - really smooth.
Do not buy this CAr
I have a my ford focus zx3 for 2 years and it has been in the shop more than I have driven it. Like it has most of the normal problems. The ignition chamber and the transmission. I have put more money in the car than its actually worth. I will never buy a ford again.
Wonderful automobile
I bought mine used from an auction, 800 dollars. Far from perfect when I got it, 246,000 miles and still going strong. Of course I put the maintenance in but what car doesn’t go through parts after awhile. I have nothing bad to say about it, only positive. I love it and can’t seem to give her up no matter what secondary car I look at for even a trade.

Focus is JUNK
This is a terrible car. I've had it almost a year and have had numerous hassles with it from the paint, CD player, air conditioner, and the exhaust. If you are looking for quality, DO NOT buy this car. It is a total LEMON! I will never own another Ford.
Fun , but be ready to spend money repair
I loved my Focus the first year, great handling. After that, I started having problems with the engine. They told me I was using the wrong gas (premium is bad, regular is good), and need to clean it up, my fault so no warranty and they charge me around $550...4 months later, problems with the brakes, pay $500. 1 year later, I problems with brakes again and some with engine injection. The injection, I suspect was the same old problem, but now it was a re-call (It has like 7 recalls since I bought it) the brakes cost me another $650 bucks. Know I am selling it, and believe me I not getting another Ford, much less a Focus.
