Overview & Reviews

Four new Focus models debut for 2002: the ZX5 five-door hatchback, the well-equipped ZTW wagon, the sport-tuned SVT hatchback and the Mach Audio ZTS. No matter what Focus you pick in 2002, a power moonroof can now be ordered. The high-end ZTS Sedan loses its standard ABS and crummy fake wood dash trim while gaining a rear spoiler. An in-dash six-disc CD changer is standard on ZX5, ZTS and ZTW but optional on all other Foci except the LX Sedan.

• Thoughtful ergonomics, large interior, smooth ride, sharp steering, impressive selection of body configurations and features.

  Great Car - 2002 Ford Focus
  By roams11 - April 2 - 10:00 am

  This car has been excellent for my weekely trips to work of 200 miles. I have gotten 37 mpg driving the speed limit. Typically at 75-80, I still average 28-30 mpg. The car is quick, responsive and I feel really benefits from the large diameter tires.

  Not the best Ive owned by a long shot - 2002 Ford Focus
  By mj23cantona - April 1 - 4:57 pm

  I bought this car because I could get more features and a bigger engine for some $3000 less than I would have paid for a Toyota Celica. Now, five years and some $5000 more than the cost of the average Celica over this time, all I can say is it was a bad choice. Pretty much all that could go wrong did, coolant system twice, CD chager twice, A/C twice, clutch, thermostat, power windows, brakes need constant work, windshield sealant, trunk bounces back every other time, noisy. Its the last Ford Ill ever own. About a year ago I quit putting money into it, all I do is maintenance. Since then the CD changer and the drivers side window have kicked it, we now own two Toyotas. This one is errand car.

  Focus Wagon - 2002 Ford Focus
  By don - March 23 - 2:18 pm

  This is the 4th Focus in my family. By far it is the most versatile of them all. The cargo capacity cannot be beat by any other small to mid size wagon. Even larger SUVs are lacking this amount of space. It is as reliable as "Old Faithful". While not the quietest ride, it is not the reason I bought it. I have a BMW 528i for those needs.

  SVT!!!!!!! - 2002 Ford Focus
  By mrpolo - March 15 - 2:00 am

  This car is pretty awesome. Especially for the money. The best "bang for your buck" out there today. The handling is superb and the power is great. Overall this is the best sport hatch out!

  Great little car - 2002 Ford Focus
  By Adam - March 14 - 7:47 pm

  I love how this car is practical for daily driving, and also very nimble and pretty quick. The handling is fantastic (out slaloms E46 M3s, Corvette Z06, etc), and the 170HP Zetec has enough power to propel it at a moderate pace. The brakes are also OUTSTANDING. It also has tons of room to go on road trips and haul around your things. The side airbags are another nice feature for safety.

  Value for $ - 2002 Ford Focus
  By MelD - March 4 - 6:06 pm

  Ford could do a better job of the quality of its workmanship. My car had a badly fitted fog lamp which the dealer replaced for no charge. There was also a slight wobble in the right rear wheel since I bought the car. The defect was a miss aligned wheel. However the service manager at the dealer accused me of driving the car over a pot hole and thus the damage. Had to shell out $37 for the repair. The car however is fun to drive and has a lot of zip in it. Good value for the money.

  svt #525 - 2002 Ford Focus
  By slidemaster - January 20 - 10:00 am

  Purchased #525 of 4788 2002 Focus. Currently have 29,000 miles on it. Have had one warranty cover repair for a intake manifold problem. Other than that had a great experiance..for the price I cannot imagine a better driving experiance...lots of room for the size of the vehicle, dynamics are good and the amature club level driving events are plentifull. Would purchase again.

  Dont bother - 2002 Ford Focus
  By MW1 - January 20 - 10:00 am

  Crap quality, and crap reliability. Ive been in the shop numerous times. Move on to a different car before you buy one of these lemons.

  Nice Car - 2002 Ford Focus
  By Trafalgar72 - January 12 - 10:00 am

  I picked a Focus over a Civic despite all warnings by friends, and I am glad I stuck with my choice, the only complaint I have is that you can feel the car pitching side to side in steep turns around 20 mph. I like the styleing, but it could be improved. I suggest this car, but I would go for the 130 hp, if I were to to redecide. It handles great, and test drive one if you get a chance. I hear that American cars have bad reliability and that fords have bad transmissions but I , hope and think my Focus will hold up.

  suprised - 2002 Ford Focus
  By scrunden - January 12 - 10:00 am

  I was impressed with the room the car had, the way it handles and rides. I thought id never own a small car again. I bought it on the advice of my brother who owns 3 for his business they all have at least 60,000 miles on them and are only 2 years old but he has had no problems with any of them. The only thing I wish for ishat the 130 hp engine was standard on all models.
