2001 Ford Focus 2.0 Zetec 3dr (Sport Trend) review from Turkey
"Good handling, soft GT"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some problems in the transmission. It cost me about $350. Nothing else.
General comments?
Very good handling, probably the best handling car of its segment. It's superb now, after a modification.
The performance's only good (9.2 sec. 0-100km/h acceleration) A 2 liters engine could have been better (only 130 HP.) The transmission is something between sport and family car.
As comfortable as a compact car.. The rear seats are surprisingly comfortable, having enough legroom even for a man 185 (6'1") tall.
The worst thing is, you don't see the ends of the car; severe problems with parking. also the mirrors are not good enough, yet you get used to it..
