CONS: Still a "small car" in some respects, but the pros outweigh the cons.

REVIEW: I bought my ZX3 SES in the summer of 2005, right when gas prices were up around 3.30 a gallon. I'm not sure why everyone is complaining about the gas mileage of these cars, with the 5 speed, I'm getting an average of 28mpg around town, and easily over 35 on the freeway. Quite an ...

CONS: Eats rear tires

REVIEW: 2003 model, Dealer replaced rear tires at 10,000 miles(Blamed it on ford,said they put cheap tires on them) Currently at 54,000 miles on the 6th set of rear tires! Alignment guys tell me Ford is full of it with their negitive 3 degree allowance on camber with no way to adjust it.(they normally ...

CONS: No rear disc brakes, except for the ST (rare) or the high up LX models

REVIEW: Being a first time buyer, I was drawn to the local Ford dealership. I just happened to look at both a 6-cyl. Mustang (2003) and this little Focus ZX4 SE (2005). After driving both cars, I came to the realization that the Focus was a more practical car. Factors in determining this was the age, ...

CONS: Side Airbags Not Standard, ABS Not Standard

REVIEW: I've owned the car (ZX5) for seven months now, long enough I think to write a resonable review. Firstly, what's right about the car...it handles wonderfully, far better than the Ford Escort and much more comfortable. It has "command seating", translation: it sits up high so ...

CONS: noisy engine(not well insulated), turn signal ....loud!!!

REVIEW: This car is a great choice for small family that wants space without the v6. The 2.0 litre works fine but a little noisy at times, but you get to like it!!! The turn signals are loud. Wanted to encourage a North American built car and i m glad i did!!! Ford overall quality improved 100% since the ...

CONS: None

REVIEW: We have owned four Focuses: a 2002 SES Sedan, a 2002 SES wagon and two 2004 ZXW wagons. Why so many: I put 65,000 miles on one wagon in 16 months. This vehicle is a pleasure to drive. After the apparent debacle of the first model year, which I did not experience, the cars have been wholly ...

CONS: it could have had 4 wheel disk brakes

REVIEW: I have had the car for 9 months, the gas mileage has not change. cd player has been changed twice now. ...

CONS: Noisy, less than expected gas mileage, safety belt will not retract half the time, what is that cent

REVIEW: What more can I say. I guess I've got to say more? For $4,000 more I could have had the Matrix. ...

REVIEW: Probably the worst investment I've ever made. The only good thing about the car is the ride, it's got some nice seats. Other than that, I don't recommend this vehicle to anyone..especially the 2002 model. All the doors have rusted, one door is completely rusted shut. Currently, I am ...

CONS: First only does just enough to get the car moving unless you really punch it.

REVIEW: This is a really nice little car for the price. My wife has a late model Mercedes and I prefer to drive my Focus. I like the sporty sound of the engine. First gear is not so great, but second and third have good punch. I've read reviews on other little sporty cars and they have simular ...
