2002 Ford Focus SE review from North America
"Good on gas, bad on the mind (the vibrations and windows make me mad)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car, the driver's side rear window didn't work. A couple of days ago while at school, I hit the button for the opposite rear window and the window slid down, and now it isn't functioning properly (I guess it may be off track) the car vibrates, sometimes to the point that I will turn up the radio to drown it out.
The great thing is the fuel economy. I drive over 400 miles a week, and the Crown Vic I had before would have bit my wallet.
Also I can only open my trunk with the key or the key fob.
General comments?
It handles good, except in windy or wet weather.
The vibrations are extremely annoying.
