2002 Ford Focus ZX 3 review from North America
"Domestic rice burner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rubber door seal on passenger side is torn to that air comes in to the car while driving.
Transmission shudder when coming to a stop.
Gas mileage is horrible for this small of car.
General comments?
This car has impressed me so far and it seems that people either love it or hate it.
This car takes corners like nothing else; however, it is pretty slow compared to my prior car (1987 integra)
I don't like that the seats do not fully recline. I drive a lot and I pull over to take naps and it's hard to do sitting half way up.
The stereo is impressive for being stock.
I like the looks of the car and it's well designed inside.
