2000 Ford Focus Zetec Collection review from UK and Ireland
"The drive of your life"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty fuel gauge, was replaced by Ford, it's a known design fault.
Side support broke on the driver's seat, took the Ford dealer 6 weeks to get a replacement part. Then they scratched paint work and trim when the seat part was replaced.
Side support broke on the passenger seat, dealer got a replacement part in 1 week this time.
General comments?
The car drives and handles like it's on rails.
However I do think it lacks a bit of power in the engine department, it's down tuned too much.
RS here I come.
