  • Bad Gas and Service - 2004 Ford Focus
    By -

    The car seems to be a good car, but the Gas Mileage is terrible. 19-20 mostly on the highway. Car the dealer and since computer doesnt tell them the problem they cant fix it. No help past that and customer assistance only logs calls. Trying to get further, maybe sometime someone may help. Would not buy another Ford with this service so far.

  • A Clean Green Sports Machine - 2004 Ford Focus
    By -

    WoW! The New Partial Zero Emmission 2.3 liter engine from Ford is a real treat. Not only is the engine much more powerful than the z-tec it emits close to no harmful emissions. Emission related components are covered up to 15 years or 150,000 miles! The zx5 interior is exceptionally roomy and its dash is stylish and well laid out. The cd/mp3 player is great. The hatchback design coupled with the four doors makes the Zx5 a real family car. Access to all seats is good and theres actually alot of room behind the rear seats for groceries. Fold down the rear seats and you have a ton of useable space. In all the zx5 is great@!

  • spitfire vs focus - 2004 Ford Focus
    By -

    SPITFIRE (triumph) barebones super fun for $1560. Forward 39 yrs. FOCUS se, only way to beat it is w/svt. 100 mph on highway like 60 in anything else. Back country roads are heaven. Handles as good as the spitfire or better and ride is light yrs ahead. Comfort is 94%, could use a little tweeking on leg room an seat size, shape an padding.

  • I own this model - 2004 Ford Focus
    By -

    I own this type automobile, and the overall interior leg room for the driver on long trips leaves alot to be desired. As a result im going to have some new rails put on the drivers side so that i can have better leg room for long trips. Thank you fopr your survey.

  • Nice Surprise! - 2004 Ford Focus
    By -

    At first when my salesman brought the car over for me to look at honestly I thought "I dont like it" because I really wanted a 4 door model. But when I sat in it I noticed how comfortable the seats were, how great the stereo was, the neat armrest compartment between the seats the (get this) Cruise Control & on & on...Also how surprisingly LARGE the trunk space is I fell in LOVE with it.

  • Focus #1 - 2004 Ford Focus
    By -

    The Ford Focus is like no other. I have had nothing but fun with my car and never have come into any problems with this car and am looking to get a 2004 Focus, all I have to do is decide on the color. Once the Focus came out, similar makes of car had the same body style, everyone wants a focus!

  • i rented a brand new one - 2004 Ford Focus
    By -

    i took the car it had very few miles and i was going from brooklyn new york to lancaster PA the ride was very uncomfortable and the steering wheel shook when the car went over 65miles i would never ever buy any kind of ford cause i had a 1986 sable and thats similar to ford tauras which i think wereboth very unproductive vechiles so think before you purchase one.
