Worst Car I've Ever Owned!

Date of Review:  Jul 6, 2008
Review: I think the title about sums it up! I bought a 2000 Ford Focus when they first came out. I owned mine from April 2000-July 2005 and I am still bitter and upset. In 5 years, I went through (and I'm not joking) 20 recalls. Some of them were silly and...

2003 Ford Focus ZX5

Date of Review:  May 12, 2004
Review: Ford Focus ZX5 (4-1/2 out of 5 stars) one can always improve. I'm 42 and I just purchased a used ZX5 with 20,000 miles on it. The seats are very comfortable and being able to lower my seat was a nice feature. All the controls are withen easy reach...

FOCUS - Found Our Car Unbelievably Satisfying

Date of Review:  May 30, 2006
Review: My parents recently bought a 2005 Ford Focus Wagon and my wife and I immediately fell in love with it. We needed a decent car, as we were driving a 1996 Sunfire. After test driving a 2003 Ford Focus SE once, it was easy to part with our Sunfire and...

2003 focus zx5, ROADTRIP!

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2008
The Bottom Line: After reading other reviews, it sounds like it could go either way... My car was absolutely perfect for me. Know the history and find a good one.
Review: CHEAP
Being of little income or job prospects... the 2003 focus appealed to me because the previous years had been so crappy for the little focus and now Ford was offering some rebates. And 2003 was definitely an improved vehicle. I needed a...

Review: our 03 focus zts is now about 2&1/2 years old (but still only has about 21000kms) and still impresses me. alot of bang for the buck there. the competators out there just aren't what we got. a 2&1/2 year old neon would probably be considered worn...

Ford Focus in Winter States

Date of Review:  Oct 23, 2004
Review: So far this vehicle is great. I have one that has all but leather and a moonroof. It gets great gas mileage and it handles great. The only thing is that we live in Wyoming and it seems to have a bit of a struggle going up hill through the mountains...

Never will I buy another Ford

Date of Review:  Nov 19, 2004
Review: I leased a new 2003 Ford Focus ZX5, it is now in the shop for the second time regarding a clunking in the steering column. The back end creaks and there is a recall on the heated seats. I was assured when I leased the car that the Pirelli tires were...

performance and comfort in Ford Focus

Date of Review:  Jan 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: Focus is right on with all the safety features. Excellent comfort and style.
Review: Why Ford Focus?
Of the choices available to us through our leasing program, the Ford Focus was simply the cheapest model with the required safety features (twin airbags, anti-lock braking system). We have been driving a leased 2003 Ford Focus...

I really like my go-cart

Date of Review:  May 22, 2003
The Bottom Line: yes, it is a great car!
Review: I really enjoy my sporty ZX3 Focus. It is great fun to drive, great gas mileage and pretty zippy. I am glad that I bought it - and the price was very budget conscious.

Things that need to be considered,
1. upgrading upholstery,...

Parts pricing

Date of Review:  Jun 4, 2003
The Bottom Line: Try it, love it, buy it.
Review: I recent had the rear quarter window broken out of my 2003 Focus SVT Hatchback. It cost almost $400 to replace, and the shop didn't even use a Ford window! It's not even a moving window! Did I get shafted, or is this a regular price for window...
