2001 Ford Focus Zetec review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable, safe family-mans car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The boot opening button on the dashboard got stuck resulting in the boot opening whilst driving along (fixed under warranty).
General comments?
Having previously owned a Peugeot 205 1.9 GTI the Focus doesn't compare in terms of handling or acceleration. But it makes up for this with the quietness of the cabin and engine!
Good positioning of the driver's seat.
Front pillars are a blind-spot.
Air-con and the front clear windscreen are bonuses. Although the fan blowers are always too strong or not strong enough (depending on the direction of the air).
