2005 Ford Focus ZX4 comfortable enough for vacation trip

Date of Review:  Aug 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: This is a sufficiently well handling, quick and comfy car for a family of 4. The fuel economy and price as well as awards make it a good deal.
Review: Why Ford Focus?
Recently, my husband's car got rear ended. Since it was a highway incident, we were lucky that it was a car-only injury. Farmer's Insurance was considerate and got us a 2005 Ford Focus to use on our mini-vacation trip to Crater...

Ford Focus. Worth a look. Worth a ride.

Date of Review:  Oct 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: Great car if you never need airbags.
Review: I'm updating this to include a new development and more information about 2005 Ford Focus.

We were involved in a collision in February. Speed was not a factor but the wet, windy road probably was. Impact was just to the center of the...

Not a racecar, not a chick magnet, but a decent compact car.

Date of Review:  Apr 3, 2007
The Bottom Line: Buy it for the reliability, quality, and good price. Don't buy it to look manly.
Review: My new wife (of 2 weeks) bought the 2005 Ford Focus ZX4 SES, which is the high-end sedan, just under the "ST" performance version. She bought it new about 2 years ago, and we have since put about 24000 miles on it.

We have been together 5...

A Lot of 4-Banger for Your Buck

Date of Review:  Oct 27, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a domestic compact ride, give serious consideration to the Focus ZX4 ST. It's put together very well, and is a solid performer.
Review: After shopping for an affordable compact with good ratings, I bought the 2005 Focus ZX4 ST. This is the 4-door model with the larger 2.3 liter engine and 5-speed manual transmission. I've driven it every day now for three months. Overall, the...

focus wagon

Date of Review:  Aug 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: Ford rebates and incentives are hard to ignore, and there isn't anything glaringly wrong, so...
Review: We traded in a Subaru Forester Turbo for this wagon. Partly for a cheaper payment and partly for the better gas mileage. Besides those two things, the biggest noticeable improvement in the switch was that the Focus was noticeably bigger inside. A...

2005 Ford Focus ZX4 SE

Date of Review:  Mar 19, 2005
The Bottom Line: Great buy at a better price than Honda or Toyota love the rebates with the car.
Review: Were you expecting something different from the car it replaced the Escort? Well some things are a lot different but the ride overall is still the same, when you accelerate it feels like an escort not that it's a bad thing, you do sit higher and...

Great potential, some nagging fuel problems

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2005
The Bottom Line: Would buy this one again. Reliable, comfortable, roomy, decent service when needed, good value.
Review: Having had five Ford products previously and virtually no serious repairs ever, I felt comfortable trading my ten year old Escort for a Focus Wagon SEL model (4 cyl, 5-sp).
The first year has been virtually trouble free, and the car remains...

A great compact car for a compact budget

Date of Review:  Mar 2, 2009
The Bottom Line: I like this car so far and i hope it will prove to be a good car like the rest of my ford
Review: I had a 2003 Chevy Astro Van, while nice, was not what i wanted to drive over the next few years. I had to buy it in a huge hurry and wished i had been able to get something else. So i set out car shopping and much by accident i found my 05 Focus at...

2 years old and going strong

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2007
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this to a buyer who doesn't need an eye-catching sporty car. It's dependable and comfortable a good buy for a starter car.
Review: I've had my focus for going on 2 years and 40,000 miles. It is the ZX4 model so it has great features like a 6 disc CD changer and MP3 player, heated seats and power everything. The new styling is nice, it's not quite as "bubble" looking as the...

Ford's best stab at Honda and Toyota's market

Date of Review:  Sep 26, 2005
The Bottom Line: I'd recommend this only to a person who refuses to buy from Honda or Toyota
Review: For years it seemed that Ford was known as a company who built powerful cars that threw economy into the wind. Cars like the Mustang and the F series trucks have been staples of power and size not gas economy. But times have changed and so has Ford...
