Affordable Downgrade
I would still recommend the Ford Taurus as a well built, safe car, but the Focus is a well built smaller more affordable car. You need to get the top model in each style to get the larger engine (2.3) which makes all the difference. The standard sound system with MP3/CD has great sound. A moonroof is great but the sport package is not needed.
ZTS Rocks
More zing than the toyota corolla and honda civic more environmentally friendly than all the non hybrid vehicles, smooth ride interior design is nice and functional, standard radio includes a cd and mp3 player by blaupunkt that rocks and its "American" unbeleivable!! Till you drive it !
sweet
congatulations to ford!bought ford focus 2-20-04. was somewhat apprehensive due to past reports.this car is great,fun to drive and well built this car rides better than my merceadies,was pleased to find out that consumer reports rated it #1 small car.
A lot of car for the $ and fun to drive
I have the ZTS model which offers an incredible amount of power. The pickup is outstanding. The car handles like a much smaller vehicle; it hugs the corners and takes on unforegiving roadways remarkably. I have both a Japanese small car and then this car. The Focus has turned out to be a reliable, economical and outstanding on gas vehicle. I would recommend it in a heartbeat---particularly for someone who does not want to spend a ton of money.
Great Car
I had a 01 SE that I loved, and never had any problems with, but just recently I decided to let it go and get an 04 ZTS, I can really tell the difference in horsepower. I like the front end design better on the 04 than on the 05. They shouldn't have changed those headlights. The folding back seats are wonderful, I use that space all the time. Even the trunk only is very roomy for the size of the car. For the few times I've ever sat in the back seat, I'd have to say, it was very comfortable and surprisingly roomy.
