2000 Ford Focus ZX3 review from North America
"A blast to drive when it is not in the shop"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes on the car have been making noise since the 10,000 mile mark.
The folding back seat broke and wouldn't close.
The anti-theft on the stereo kept shorting out the radio.
General comments?
Very few things that I have driven have been as much as the Focus.
But the reliabilty is just not up to par with the competition.
