2005 Ford Focus ZX5 review from North America
"Reliable, cheap to operate and good value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Breif dripping sound coming from the engine when the A/C is on. Took it to the dealer and they said it was simply condensation dripping, no need to fix.
When it gets below zero it sometimes takes more than one try to start, but always will start.
No other problems noted.
General comments?
Cheap on insurance, lease payments and gas.
Good value for money as it has lots of gadgets (love the heated seats) and can be peppy.
I've heard that it doesn't have a great track record after a few years, but that remains to be seen.
