Fast Ford! Better Then Chevy!!!

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2006
The Bottom Line: BUY! ITS BETTER THEN EVERY OTHER 4DR
Review: My 2003 Ford Focus with the Z-Tec racing motor is no slouch. It beats the pants off of the competeing Chevrolet Cavalier Z22. My car is an automatic and my buddies Cavalier is a 5 speed. even from the launch the Cavilier has no chance. This car goes...

Watch your head, or you won't be able to Focus

Date of Review:  Nov 6, 2004
The Bottom Line: Not bad if you're under 5'9". Miserable for 6 footers, and the controls are just weird.
Review: When Hubby's Neon started acting up and the repair bill was more than the value of the car, we traded it in for a 2003 metallic gold Ford Focus with a beige interior. Very nice looking, but a royal pain of a car.

I have not been impressed...

Great car for the money!!

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 2004
The Bottom Line: I recommend this car for someone who is looking for something reliable to get them around without paying a lot of money. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
Review: I was looking for a car, and actually only bought this car because of the great price. I bought the 2003 Ford Focus SE in January 2004 so it was knocked down in price about $6000, which was great for a college student like me. The only drawback in...

Peppy little car

Date of Review:  May 13, 2007
Review: I bought this car used in 2004. I have been very happy with it. The only issues that I have had are the a/c evaporator died at about 50,000 miles and it had a minor transmission problem while still under factory warranty. I would purchase another...

Excellent Small Car Let Down By Poor Reliability Record

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2004
The Bottom Line: Such a tough call--a great little car with a dismal repair record. The Focus gets three stars for driving so well, but it's probably best to stick to more-reliable rivals.
Review: My Experience

I test-drove a 2003 Focus LX sedan at a local dealership. My test drive lasted about half an hour, and consisted of winding secondary roads and the freeway.


Performance

The Focus has many strengths,...

Date of Review:  Sep 11, 2006
Review: I bought a 2003 focus ZX5 and was really happy for the first 6 months. Then I experienced this strange odor coming from the heating/cooling system. After 4 returns to the dealer, they finally had to replace the cooling system with a new one. Now, my...

SVT Focus An Entertaining Choice For Enthusiasts

Date of Review:  Jan 27, 2004
The Bottom Line: With an improved reliability record, the eager and entertaining SVT has become a good choice in the sport-hatchback crowd, especially for enthusiasts.
Review: My Experience

I test-drove a Ford SVT Focus 5-door at a local dealership. My test drive lasted about half an hour, and covered city streets, winding secondary roads, and the freeway.

Good Little Car

Date of Review:  Jan 17, 2006
The Bottom Line: I really enjoy this car and the price is right.
Review: I bought a used 2003 Ford Focus ZTS about a month ago after my 1994 Ford Taurus was finally on it's last leg. I had a great long run with that Taurus, but I must say I am quite impressed with the Focus! Smooth ride, great steering control, and very...

Car has not proven itself after 36,000 miles

Date of Review:  Nov 14, 2004
Review: I bought my new ZX5 in August 2003. I now have 67,000 miles on it. Everything was great until the factory warranty ran out at 36,000 miles. At 37,000, the power steering pump was leaking and needed to be replaced. About a year later, the upper oil...
