  Love this liitle hatch! - 2004 Ford Focus
  By eap - August 3 - 2:00 am

  The SVT Focus is an amazing car, especially for the money. It is the best handling car I have ever driven. The inside isnt luxurious but its well done and all the controls are in just the right spot. Its the perfect mix of fun, value and practicality.

  Comfortable small call - 2004 Ford Focus
  By jenzsdad - July 30 - 2:00 am

  Ive had the car about a month now. So far so good. It is an automatic with the sports package. I would have liked some other options ABS,& Moonroof. I also would have prefered a 5 speed, but thats what happens when you buy a leftover. You have to take what the dealer has. I did get a good deal though $12,500 + tax & tags. Not bad! Its comfortable & quiet for a small car. The handling is good for a 4 door of its size, but not as good as my Nissan 200SX SER (Auto), or as fast. I must say though that the Focus rides like a bigger car. It must be the 103 wheel base.

  Great Car - 2004 Ford Focus
  By Medic - July 28 - 2:00 am

  I just love this car! I have had 3 Mustangs and 2 Chevy Trucks and this is the best car I have had to date. The fun to drive factor is very high. I love the handling that this car has. Since this car has a 4 banger, the the power is in the mid to upper ranges of the power curve. I have the European Appearence Package(sunroof, Heated Recaro leather Seats, Audiophile 6 disk indash changer, engine block heater, HIDs, and 16 spoke argent wheels). I need a sporty car that I could commute to work in (90+ miles a day) I have found it. You cant go wrong with this car!

  Bought car for daughter, also have a Honda Accord. Suprised how quiet and peppy this car is. Much more power than a Civic that I was considering, and a lot less price!

  Great Expectations - 2004 Ford Focus
  By Davie L - July 26 - 2:00 am

  are met by this little SVT Focus. I havent had it long, but cant resist reviewing it with a rave. I have been looking at it and others for months. I was going to wait for the new mustang, but just had to have this little silver 3-door svt. The last one in my area and a good deal did the trick. The SVT embodies just the type car I have always loved: small, high revving, great handling little rockets [vw scirocco, fiat 124 spyder, 131 brava, 128 4 dr., new beetle - well the last 2 werent rockets]. It has not disappointed. Its fun to drive. The styling is just fine. Car and Driver magazine is right about the 10 best this one sure belongs.

  Ford ZX-5 - 2004 Ford Focus
  By LAK - January 18 - 2:00 am

  I have had my Focus ZX-5 (5-speed manual) since April 2002 and have been happy with my decision to purchase this vehicle. I put a lot of miles on the car initially so I have about 20,000 miles on the car, and reliability has been very good, with no trips to the dealer other than for routine maintenance. The car handles well, and has a good amount of power for a 4 cylinder (16 valve vetec). The front seat position is higher than most cars, making for easy entry/exit and providing good visibility. Fit and finish are very good. Mileage is about 26 city, 32 highway. At this price point this car is hard to beat.
