2001 Ford Focus ZX3 S2 review from North America
"Looks good specially the way I have set up"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first bought the car first thing wrong were the rear brakes. The brakes got stock because the sold me the car with emergency broken. Then the battery drain. It got replaced and the brakes to, but they still sound after all these years. the power window assembly had to be bought fully because they don't sell the tiny plastic brackects that hold the glass by itself. So far I have had to change the rotors twice because they warp very easily. And the EGR system does not seem to work properly this will be the second time that is going to be changed that is the only thing that keeps my dashboard illuminated. In morning you can always hear the throw out bearing from the clutch sounding off. Also the front right knuckle assembly was replaced and faulty spark plug wires.
General comments?
When the car is working properly it's great if I have long distance travel is good with mileage I have put 405 miles in one tank of gas.
