I had a 2003 model, and I traded it in on a 2005 Focus. No other car was good enough for me. I tried the Honda Accord, and the Civic, and I just didn't like them. With the roominess of the Focus, and the way it handles, it won hands down with me. My fiancé is 6 foot 7 inches tall, and most small cars he does not fit in, but in the Focus he has room to spare. I LOVE MY FOCUS!
It is almost a garbage.

Bought a 2005 ford focus. The plastic material is so cheap that many small parts are broken in 3 years. Comparing to my wife's corolla, it is much higher gas consuming. Now the back door remote contral failed to lock, and need spend $300 dollars to fix it. I really regret I bought it.

ZX4 ST

Very pleased with the vehicle so far. I took her out for a ride some nice back roads with some hills and a lot of curves. I was very impressed with its handling capabilities; it sticks to the road like glue. Acceleration is not a problem and going through the gears is quite easy. The ride is a bit stiff, but the car's handling makes up for that. The steering is incredibly responsive and the independent rear suspension makes cornering a breeze. The seats are comfortable and the interior has plenty of room. The seats are comfortable and the interior has plenty of room, at least for the driver. All in all a good little car for the money.
Exceptional Small Car Value

The 2005 Focus ZX4 ST model is an exceptional small car. Fun to drive, powerful 2.3 liter four, tight 5-speed shifter, and great handling with sport suspension and 16" low profile Pirelli tires. Only option on mine is side curtain air bags. Comes well-equipped with 4 wheel disk ABS, good base sound system w/6 disk in-dash CD changer, cruise control, keyless entry, etc.

The ride is sporty and the road handling is very good. The car is practical in layout and function. Ford has been okay about service. The gas mileage is a flat out lie. City driving is about 21.5 mpg, no where near the 26 mpg claims. I believe fuel accuracy is important in selling an auto. They blow it on this point.
Very peppy car

I love my car. I have no regrets of buying this car since day one. It has a great amount of power for such a little car. I love everything about this car. I would recommend the Focus ST to anyone that still needs a sedan but also wants a little power
Ugly and won’t die

I think this car is pretty ugly. I downgraded from a 2015 mustang convertible to this thing. It’s a silver 2005 focus sedan. Paid $2,500 for it and it had 153k miles. Well exactly a year later it is at 158k miles. And it hasn’t died yet. I’ve put new brakes, tires, alternator and engine mounts on it. The CD player doesn’t work which I guess is a common problem. I was told by a mechanic when I first bought it that the transmission fluid was burnt and it needed a new transmission and the speedometer didn’t want to work. Well I took it to another mechanic and they changed the speed sensor and since then, the car runs perfectly and the speedometer works now. So I’ve had the car for a year, originally bought it as a temporary car while I save up for a new mustang but still no new mustang. This car in my opinion is hideous. The back end is way too short and the front is so flat. I like big cars like Lesabres, crown vics, Lincoln town cars, classic cars, coupes, convertibles, not this thing. But it does do everything I want it to do. No leaks, no dash lights on, and I’ve put about 5k miles on it even after being told it had bad transmission fluid though I’m not sure if they were telling the truth. This car still comes back to life. I thought about turning it into an art car, you know those sharpie cars, just to make it less boring. I mean it’s cute in the front but the rest is gross. There are no aftermarket parts for this car. No fun modifications. You can’t change out the cloth seats for leather bc no one makes them. This is why I love and recommend ford mustangs.
