2000 Ford Focus Sony Edition review from UK and Ireland
"For the price, you can't beat it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I know that a lot of people saying things went wrong with the car, and they did. A lot of recalls happened, however if your in the market to buy a used focus, don't overlook the 2000 edition. If you can find a focus with over 30k miles, and it runs good, chances are it will stay running good? Why? Because a lot of the focus owners who complained of problems started developing problems between 0k-20k mile range. Also, if the focus has 30k+ miles (general figure), it means that the previous owner has most likely already endured the burden of suffering through the recalls, which leaves you a virtual reliable car. If your focus is still in the low teens for mileage, I would, have to say, avoid it for now, as it may be to risky since you may get a lemon. If you can get a good running focus, WOW, you will love it, I know I did. I can bet you, that when time comes into trade this car in, I will be getting a newer model.
