2000 Ford Focus Zetec review from UK and Ireland
"Fantasic, best thing Ford has produced in years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet.. too new to assess but I love it... Puts my old Escort 1.8 16v Si (1995) in the shade.. superb engine.. even better now that I've tightened up the plugs which were loose!
I have noticed a knock which comes through the floor by the brake/clutch, which occurs at low speed turning left... has anybody else had this problem?.. The mechanic at the garage said it was a safety aspect of the braking system and the two shafts that split apart when in an impact are knocking against each other... don't know if this is true but if anyone else has a similar problem please let me know..

General comments?
Extra wide wheels 195/55/15 make the car stick to the road like glue!
Smashing body design.. well impressed so far!
