2001 Ford Focus ZTS review from North America
"I love this car, it is faster than you think"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The tires have blown on me. And that is pretty much it. Many oil changes (as expected). Broken windshield was fixed and makes noise now. Transmission (5-speed) doesn't engage in to gear all of the time (maybe my fault).
General comments?
This car is a really good vehicle. Reliable and fast. Many people don't think it is fast, but it is better than those Honda Civics. It has proven much to me. I can't wait until I have finished with the engine upgrade after-market parts. It is an adrenaline rush to drive this car. It has run the 1/4 mile in 17.953 seconds at the Rocky Mountain Raceway. That was factory, no modifications to the engine nor to the body. A must try automobile.
