2001 Ford Focus ZX3 review from North America
"One Focus (ZX3), many talents!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Once when I was transporting my little brother and his buddy, the driver's side seat flip forward release lever broke. All clues point to my little brother's friend as having accidentally broken the part. It still needs to be replaced.
General comments?
I absolutely LOVE!! My Ford Focus ZX3. I shopped around and researched cars in my price range, I couldn't ignore the over whelming support the ZX3 received in written reviews. Now, as the proud owner of an Infra-red ZX3, I'm glad to say that the reviews were correct, and the ZX3 is a great ride, cheap, sporty, roomy and more than one could ever expect in such a little car.
My one and only hang up with my ZX3, lays in its lack of readily available torque. In addition, I find that the motor is too quite for my taste, others may enjoy the silence but I like the sound of a few more valves and a stronger exhaust note.
