"A car that you could lose somebody in"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The brakes have worn out twice due to my job as a paper carrier and how I drive the car, door sealer is torn on passenger side from locking my keys in the car and AAA opening it.

General comments?

This car is amazing it hasn't died yet I routinely go near 100mph I put 3000 super hard miles on it. I completely flooded the engine going 40mph. I've gotten the car airborne a few times. The only real fault is that the engines real power kicks in at about 3000rpms, but find a road that is hilly and has sharpe curves and take it at about 15 over the speed limit and the car doesn't make a noise except it has a little, but slightly noticeable body roll, but I discovered that on a curvy road going 80 in a 30. A true rally car that only shows what its made of on a race track and not on the strip. Cruises well. If you even what more thrills get the SVT version at your local used car lot because Ford doesn't make it anymore citing it "cost" to much.

The Focus has only 130 hp. Weak handling.
