2003 Ford Focus review from North America
"A great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This is a great car. Although there were a few problems.
The gearshift broke off at 10,000 miles.
It's slow to pick up speed.
The seatbelt reminder is the most annoying thing in the world.
The interior is great and so is the body. A very smart and dependable car.
