  By SaRaH - March 9 - 10:00 am

  I purchased this car before starting college. Its been a great car. It did have a fuel pump recall, but other than that I havent had any more problems. It is a very dependable car and I would recommend it.

  Fun Stuff - 2000 Ford Focus
  By T_Williams - December 13 - 10:00 am

  I bought my 2000 Focus used in 2003 with only 25000 miles on it. It is fun to drive and gets pretty good fuel mileage for the way I drive it.

  Mixed Emotions About This Car - 2000 Ford Focus
  By ryguy - November 22 - 12:56 am

  Reading all the reviews, I feel lucky not to have so many repairs but I have had my share. My rear window power motor broke 2 times in a year and Ford wants $300 to fix again since the warranty expired. It has tape on to keep it up. Was hit in the front and back at low speed and held up great, cant say that about the Corolla that folded like a tent. Cramped front seat since I am 6 foot 2. I have 50,000 miles and the car hasnt had any major repairs but that is because I do routine maintenance and have a good mechanic. Wish car had more power and I wish everyday I upgraded to CD player instead of factory tape player. I thrash this car every day driving to LAX airport so it is my kick around car.

  I Still Like It!!! - 2000 Ford Focus
  By JKC-2004 - November 5 - 2:00 am

  I got this car in September as my very first car. I freaked out after reading the reviews on it - they are very discouraging. But...its been 6 months and it hasnt given me any problems whatsoever. I have driven Neons, Cavaliers, and Accents. All three can not compare to the Focus.

  Dont buy it - 2000 Ford Focus
  By Ryan - October 2 - 5:00 pm

  Lets see. At 15,000 miles i had to get new brakes and throttle body. At 45,000 miles I already replaced the oxygen sensor twice. I had to replace the shocks twice. The air conditioner broke, the heat sometimes worked, the wipers sometimes worked. At 73,000 I had to replace the transmission. At 74,000 my brakes failed. (They wouldnt work at all).

  Great Car - 2000 Ford Focus
  By JMahler1980 - September 24 - 2:00 am

  I think the Focus is a great car for the money. Looking at some of the other reviews made me realize that people get, what they pay for. I have only had one problem with my Focus, and luckily my Brother is a Ford technican, and advised me the fuel pump was being recalled. In a little over a year I have about 50,000 miles on my Focus and am still loving it!!! Ford did a great Job!

  Maybe not - 2000 Ford Focus
  By Average Joe1 - August 24 - 10:00 am

  I had a Focus that I just sold. Before 34,000 miles my fuel pump had rusted - car died on the off ramp of a major interstate. Numerous brake issues. I was told by one of the techs that "Focus just have squeeky brakes." Rattling under the car that no one was ever able to isolate. Wheels were way out of aligment and did not find this out till the 24K maintaince.

  No reliability problems here! - 2000 Ford Focus
  By ZX3dude - August 5 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my ZX3 for 2 years now and have had no problems at all. I just replaced the Good Year tires at 25,000 miles with a set of Michelin GXTs and it drives better than it did new. The only noises I had were with the Good Year tires. Even tho this car doesnt have as much hp as the new Civic SI, it blows the Civic away with quality, style and a lot more comfortable!!
