2000 Ford Focus Zetec 3 door review from UK and Ireland
"Okay car, could be better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front pads wore through causing the front discs to be wrecked, only 500 miles after a service.
Clipping a kerb resulted in a new steering rack.
Hose blew on the clutch, causing a near collision.
General comments?
Handling is poor in the wet.
Not enough acceleration for the money.
Nice top speed after 30,000 miles, 130+ mph now.
Traction control doesn't like my style of overtaking, dropping a gear results in no power moments.
