2002 Ford Focus SE from North America - Comments

The most recent (and one of the only) problem is that the back passenger window falls down! When my brother-in-law looked at it he said it was the regulator or something like that. I heard it was around $200 to fix and me being a college student, I had to find a way around it. So there is a wooden stick holding the window up from the inside. It works great if you don't open and close that door too often!

There is a rattling noise on the dash. I can't figure out where it's coming from. It's annoying, but harmless.

The fuse to the lighter thing went out. So I can't plug in any adapters/chargers. I could probably inexpensively get this fixed, but I'm not going to bother with it.

This car makes awesome U-Turns! I park my car along the curb of my house and have to turn around everyday. It flawlessly makes the U-Turn. If I am in my dad's car (a luxurious 2002 Mazda 626 that he's paying WAY too much for) I have to back it up a million times.

I can go about 250 miles before filling up again and it takes on average 20.00. (well used to... not anymore because of the HIGH gas prices!)

For the price I paid for it (7,900 I think) this car cannot be beat!

Yeah, why bother replacing the fuse to the lighter thing!

Heck, it might take all of 30 seconds to do!

And your so right, there are so many "dependable" cars on the road with wooden sticks holding up the windows.

Yep-Focus means dependable in my dictionary!

I have just purchased a 2002 Ford Focus SE sport and I LOVE it. I had a 1997 Mercury Sable before this car and I am still getting the same mileage out of the car and paying half the amount I used to pay for gas every week. I commute and I enjoy the drive of the car on the highway as well as the feel on the back roads. I find the car quiet and comfortable. It is also much easier to park and I really like the way the car handles on curves.

You have a few minor problems with your car which even Lexus, Porsche, and Benz's need repairs from time to time.

I love my car and I hope to get many years of enjoyment out of it.
