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.
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.
A few more valves? The engine has four valves per cylinder.
That's the same as the V8 in a Corvette. And the Focus has one more camshaft.
The power in this car doesn't really come on until about 4k RPM's. that's the advantage of getting the 5-speed. it also makes a decent exhaust note when you rev it a little higher.
If you want to add some more of a deep throaty sound to your focus take off your intake airbox resinator. you can go to www.myfordfocus.com and go to how to library and it tells you exactly how to do it, it takes like five minutes, but I thought I would comment.
I love my 2001 ZX3. Even with the recalls, the dealer was great in fixing me up and getting me back on the road.
I have one question that I cannot find an answer to? Can anybody help!
My passenger seat back lever came off in my hand with barley any pressure applied to it. I am wondering if this is a huge repair? It is hard to get people in and out of the cars back seat with the lever not working.
I am not referring to the front recliner handle, but the larger "pull" handle near the back of the seat?
I can be emailed at LGbigfoot@yahoo.com.
Thanks!
