2000 Ford Focus Ghia review from UK and Ireland
"Wish I'd chosen something else"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heated screen elements not working, had to be replaced
Very noisy interior. No fix.
Engine over revving while in neutral. In 3 times for this in 3 months before they diagnosed the fault. A Mondeo part fitted by mistake!! No parts available to fix it. A problem with a batch of vehicles apparently which have not been recalled.
General comments?
Handling is sluggish.
Economy is decidedly average.
Boot capacity is too small.
Cabin noise is excessive.
If my company's service was as bad as Ford dealers have been to me, then we would not have a business left.
