My Vision Could be Clearer

Date of Review:  Sep 10, 2003
The Bottom Line: This is a very practical vehicle that's lacking in excitement.
Review: Ford Motor Company makes many vehicles in all sorts of sizes to accommodate the needs of its customers. Some are large and heavy and drain the gasoline faster than a reservoir following a dam burst. Others are more economical and can really help...

2003 Ford Focus SE 2.3L Engine: A Great Little Car

Date of Review:  Nov 4, 2006
The Bottom Line: A great little car overall.
Review: You know, I've always been a big proponent of buying American cars. Hey, nothing against any other country, of course, I love other countries and drink their beer all the time. But when you come down to it, for a purchase as big as an automobile, I...

Decent, Affordable Car

Date of Review:  Sep 18, 2006
The Bottom Line: Not a bad car, but don't think I would buy it again for my family. Maybe if I was single.
Review: This was the first car my wife and I bought together. We were both in college at the time, so needless to say money was tight. The tight budget is what put us onto the Focus. It was a new car, with 23 miles on it, that I expected to run for a long...

SVT Five-door--a second test drive tempers my interest

Date of Review:  Jun 5, 2003
The Bottom Line: For some people this will be the perfect car. For me I now realize it's not quite there.
Review: The #1 thing I look for in a car, before horsepower, quality, or anything else, is a chassis that entertains in everyday driving. Over the last decade Ford's European subsidiary has developed what are arguably the best-handling front-wheel-drive...

I'm just glad I didn't have to pay for this car.

Date of Review:  Apr 14, 2006
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to someone who has price as the only major concern. Otherwise, look elsewhere.
Review: This review is for a car that I had as a rental car for about a month while my car was in the shop following accident damage. Unfortunately, this is the only class of car that the other driver's insurance company would pay for, so I suffered through...

It all just came into "Focus" :)

Date of Review:  Feb 2, 2003
The Bottom Line: 2003 Ford Focus. Couldn't select higher than 2002 in rating. Excellent car. You won't be sorry.
Review: Personal Testimonial:

My husband and I needed to lease a vehicle. Luckily, I work in a Ford dealership part time and was able to purchase a car on the dealership plan. Anyway, my husband and I looked at several different models and...

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.

Performance

LOVE the car! Fun to drive!

Date of Review:  Jun 11, 2006
The Bottom Line: I recommend this car. It is fun to drive and won't hurt your pocket books!
Review: When I first moved to Cleveland 3 years ago, I needed a new car. I've previously driven my parent's Camry, Civic, and Mazda MPV. As this was my first car that I'm buying, my budget was limited to small sized cars. Basically I ended up deciding...

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 All Around Car

Date of Review:  Apr 5, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car as a daily driver in metro areas.
Review: After driving a couple 4th generation Firebirds for 8 years as a daily driver, I welcomed the opportunity to buy an actual daily driver and leaving the Firebird as weekend car. This made for a "best of both worlds" situation. After some minor body...
