2000 Ford Focus SE review from North America
"Get rid of it while you still can!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
OK, let's start with recalls. I have had 6 recalls to date. This is a pain, due to the lack of loaner car.
Then, I've had to have the ignition replaced twice. Luckily the first time was under warranty, but the second time it cost my $275.
Now, my wheel cylinders went. So they need replaced as well as the bearings, and brake shoes. $1500
I have to replace tires every year or so.
I have 86,000 miles on this car, and have put at least $6000 in repairs.
Bye bye Focus!!!
