2005 Ford Focus SE review from North America
"Solid car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems as I have only had the car one week.
General comments?
My Focus is the 2005 ZX5 SE. This is my second go round with the Focus. My first was in 2002 with the 2002 ZX3. I had very good luck with my first car. I drive a lot of miles so I don't keep vehicles very long. I traded up for a Ranger & after having two of those I have gone back to the Focus. Mainly because of 2 dollar a gallon gas and limited passenger space.
I like the slightly redesigned front end and the improved interior design for 2005.
