2000 Ford Focus ZX3 review from North America
"I'm going to have this thing forever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have no idea what the problem is, but I have to keep replacing the headlights every 4 months or so.
I don't know if it's because I'm tall and have a long way to get to the seat, but I know have a little hole on the seat on the left side.
I had the steering wheel lock on me a couple times. Same problem both times.
The part that holds the shifter box to the actual car snapped and I couldn't go in reverse for a couple days.
General comments?
I absolutely love my car. I've had it for 4 years now and I volunteer to drive everywhere. It takes curves like a beast.
The stock stereo isn't bad, once the car got a couple thousand more miles on it, the bass kinda rattles the inside paneling, but if you turn it up loud enough it doesn't matter. :)
It's a pretty quick little car. It'll kick a Honda civics ass.
The interior is very roomy and the stock seats form to your back like a glove.
