2004 Ford Focus SE review from North America
"Full of Zip, Pep and Fun!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just purchased a Certified Pre Owned 2004 Ford Focus SE with 19,300 miles on it.
Nothing has gone wrong yet (knock on wood) with the exception that I have to take it back to the dealership so their detail guys can buff out a scrap on the hood and the side door that was there when I bought it.
General comments?
It's only been 2 days, but I LOVE this car so far. (Again, knock on wood).
I got rid of a crappy Dodge Neon, which I would not wish on my worst enemy, and am so happy to be back in a Ford. (I previously had an Escort, which I adored).
This car is zippy and peppy and drives like you are riding on glass.
