2001 Ford Focus ZX3 review from North America
"I would recommend a Ford Focus to anyone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front struts and springs (due to a day of spirited back road driving) @ 100,000km.
Ignition tumbler 115,000km.
General comments?
This car has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. Very comfortable on long trips, with good power to pass when needed. The Focus has good looks and strong aftermarket support if you want to improve performance or styling.
This is the perfect car to drive if on a budget or looking for a second vehicle, as you can find these used on the cheap.
I would recommend a ford focus to anyone.
