2003 Ford Focus ZX 3 review from North America
"Very Good value for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to change overdrive solenoid - Ford added extended warranty for all ZX 3 on transmission and powertrain - 5 years and 100k miles, so it is a covered item.
General comments?
Good car. Handles really well for price point. Comfortable for around town - have Volvo and Acura for road trips so unsure about comfort on longer road trip. Gas mileage is OK. Big improvement over Volvo wagon.
Very happy with car. Stylish enough, comfortable enough, great sound system - roomy interior.
Good value for price.
