This Year's Model Updates:
Raising the bar for compact vehicles, Ford is offering its stability system -- called AdvanceTrac -- on ZTS Sedans and ZX3 Hatchbacks. Ford has also made previously optional features standard equipment. Highlights include a driver armrest on every model except LX and power windows on SE Sedans and Wagons. SE Wagons also get the Zetec engine as standard and can be ordered with a manual transmission. A new manual moonroof is offered on the ZX3 and new 16-inch wheels are standard on ZTS Sedans and optional on ZX3 Coupes.
Pros:
- Thoughtful and large interior, smooth ride, sharp steering, good selection of body configurations and features.
Cons:
- Lots of suspension movement, not enough low-end grunt, polarizing styling.
