If this is what the standard Zetec is like, I can't wait for the Focus RS or the ST170!!!

2001 Ford Focus SE Comfort review from North America

"A high performance bargain"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The only problem I had with the car is the driver's side front window squeaked when it was put down, but I took the car to the dealership and was immediately fixed and have not had a problem since.

General comments?

The Ford Focus I own is a SE Comfort car with all the extras, including the Zetec engine, 6 disk CD player, rear spoiler, fog lights, leather-wrapped steering wheel, 16-inch aluminum wheels, and all-door remote keyless entry. I would recommend anyone who can afford it to get all the extras because that just enhances the expensive feel of the car.

I have been very impressed with the expensive feel of the car. The car feels like it should be a few thousand dollars more than what it is actually worth, which for my car was $17,500.

Another impressive thing with the car is its ability to get into a car wreck without sustaining much damage. I was hit from behind at 30 miles per hour and the damage was extremely minor, with only a few scratches and a small dent.

I would recommend anyone getting a first time car or a economy car to consider buying a Ford Focus. Compared to other economy cars, this car is worth what it costs, plus more. I think a test drive is all that is needed to show the greatness of this car.
