2000 Ford Focus SE review from North America
"Would look for better alternatives"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioner stopped working completely at 90,000 miles. Was told by my local Ford dealership it would cost over $2000 to fix it.
When going over uneven pavement, the car wobbles heavily from side to side.
Trunk does not always latch when closing.
Radio shuts off with out assistance.
Rear view mirror always loose.
General comments?
Zetec engine has great giddy up and go.
Decent gas mileage.
