2001 Ford Focus ZX3 review from North America
"Excellent value and very comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet, I will admit this car is very new. I'm going to comment more on my impression thus far, and maybe some things that would be considered somewhat subjective.
General comments?
Surprisingly spacious inside. I'm over 6' and have had no problem whatsoever finding a comfortable seating position.
The car feels much bigger than it really is, and is very comfortable. I especially like the arm rest that came as part of the Premium group. It's positioned perfectly for me (I have a manual), and it can be swung out of the way if you don't want to use it.
