I have had three wrecks in this car. So every part that needed fixed may not have been the fault of FORD. I have found that other focus owners, like myself, are disappointed with its engine. I own a KONA version of the FORD FOCUS ZX3. The dark green color is what I own, not the silver\black color. The paint chips very easily. Plus, having a custom color paint from FORD makes it very expensive to have repainted.
I am some what happy with the way the car handles. It's surprising to discover how well the car can grip and accelerate. The thing I truly like the most about my KONA, is that it comes with its own bike. Very few people even knows that little fact. Most FORD FOCUS KONA ZX3's that I have seen have been with empty bike racks. I've talked to other KONA owners, and to my surprise, they knew nothing about a bike.
I'm here to inform you, the consumer, to ask about your bikes that are to come with your newly bought 2000 FORD FOCUS ZX3 "KONA" edition. The bike matches the paint color and is built by FORD. Its value is up there too. My bike is appraised at $1200 to $1500 American dollars. I live in OHIO. So the price range may vary from state to state or country to country.
I am the original writer of the above "KONA" section. I recently discovered that only the year 2000 model, "KONA's" came with a bike. So if you own a newer year model and are wondering why you did not receive a bike it is because your car doesn't get one. Thank you for your time.
I own a Ford Focus Kona and also have the bike. My Focus is a 2000. I am curious to know how many were made and how many bikes were made. I will say that I have been more than pleased with my Focus. We had to have some repairs, but nothing out of the ordinary. Does any one know how to get the mountain bike appraised? if so e-mail me at smokehouse6@excite.com.
