2001 Ford Focus Zetec ESP review from UK and Ireland
"Good performance with low insurance costs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has gone wrong as yet.
A couple of the switches were a bit tight, but after use they appear to be fine.
General comments?
Modern shape handles well and very nippy.
My previous car was a Mondeo ST-200 which was a quick car, but this Focus has surprised me, add an open air filter and Superchip and the 0-60 times are in the sevens (tested with accelerometer). Hey that's better than my ST-200!!.
On top of this the handling is spot on, no more under-steer or over-steer the ESP (Electronic Stability Control) just corrects it.
Well I have been very impressed with the build quality too... no squeaks or rattles anywhere.
And all this for group 8 insurance, 25mpg.
One thing.. you do blend into the crowd on the road it does not fell like you have anything special, hey I can live with that.
