  • focus family - 2004 Ford Focus
    By -

    I currently own 3 Focuss- 2 that are 2003 and 1 that is 2002. We just bought a 2003 for my daughters birthday. I also owned 2 2001s which were traded in the newer cars when leases were up. It is a fun car to drive and I have had no major problems with any of my 3 cars. Its a fun car to drive, reliable and sporty looking. I have a bad back and find the seats very comfortable.

    My svt focus is a treat to drive.It fares well in the handling/cornering department.Brakes seem to have little fade during normal use.Power could be better with more torque,but it is plenty powerful for the street.Interior amenities are good with nice side bolstering on seats for hard cornering.Radio/cd player are decent in sound quality as are the speakers and sub.The wheel and tire package sports a great look with performance to match.All in all, this is a cool ride to run around in.

  • Great Little Car For The Money - 2004 Ford Focus
    By -

    I recently traded in my 2000 Ford Escort ZX2 in for a 4-door Focus SE sedan. This car has plenty of room for up to 5 people. I love how you sit high in it with a clear view of the road in front. Love the sunroof and the in-dash 6-disc cd player..they are awesome. The 2.0-liter Zetec engine is peppy with the 5-speed manual, but still lacks the smoothness and precision of some of those import cars, but road noise is very minimal. This car handles great..seats lack back support. The brakes are dissapointing in this car..reminds me of the escort again. Overall, a great car for the money/value.

  • My New 2.3L 2004 Ford Focus (Automatic) - 2004 Ford Focus
    By -

    I love my car! I had a 2001 Ford Mustang and the lease was due in early June 2004. I decided to turn in my mustang and get a Focus. I was worried about the power of the focus (especially after coming from a 6 cyl mustang). But to my surprise this little 2.3L engine puts out decent power for its size! It acutally feels a little more responsive on the low end than my mustang. The only time I notice the difference between the 2 cars is when I floor it on the highway. And even still the focus does a good job at getting up to speed. Its spacious, Economical, good looking, comfortable, and just feels right!
