Overview & Reviews

The emissions-friendly 2.3-liter PZEV engine released in limited states in 2003 is now available as an option in all states (it comes standard in California, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont and Maine). The only other notable changes to the 2004 Ford Focus are newly optional leather seating for ZX3 models, and a slightly revised suspension offers improved handling.

• Thoughtful ergonomics, spacious interior, fun-to-drive character, sharp steering, impressive selection of body configurations and features.

  Incredible for the money! - 2004 Ford Focus
  By Joseph Kissel - April 23 - 10:00 am

  I got my Focus when a fireman returned from the wreckage of the World Trade Center and decided life was too short to be driving a Focus hatchback -- even one with the Euro-tuned suspension and ALL the goodies. So he traded it in for a Mustang. Ive driven both, and the Focus ZX3 is much more fun, functional and funky. Two years later I still sneak into the garage to admire it. Save for one bad start, its been as reliable as a gas stove. Inside, its roomy without being a hog on the road, in parking spots or at the gas station. In short, theres a reason its the only "cheap" car on Car and Drivers 10 Best List four years running.

  Drove 200 miles just to get it! - 2004 Ford Focus
  By yzassandy82 - February 27 - 2:00 am

  I am absolutely in love with this car! I had to drive 200 miles to get it, since Villa Ford didnt want to do a dealer trade(dont buy from them), but it was well worth it. The drive up from Anaheim to Santa Maria was relaxing. To add to my satisfaction the car was washed and ready to go when I arrived. My ZX5 is charcoal grey w/ the 2.3L PZEV, a/t and everything else but leather(since the premium cloth is excellent). I traded in an 03 Mustang V6 with no regrets! It provides excellent handling, a smooth ride, and ample interior room. The 25% insurance savings helped too! Arguably one of the best Fords, make that CARS, on the road.

  Worst car ever - 2004 Ford Focus
  By pos svt - January 25 - 2:35 am

  This is by far the worst car I have ever owned. I bought the car about a year ago with less than 50,000 miles and $6400 in repairs later its still not right. I have replaced the A/C compressor and condensor, the swaybar twice, gauge cluster and I have had countless electrical problems. I just noticed that the 4th thermostat housing is leaking. The car surges while driving down the road and the dual mass flywheel is constantly chattering. When the car is running its a blast to drive, but that really doesnt matter when it breaks down at least once a month.

  Love this car. - 2004 Ford Focus
  By chunt777 - January 15 - 2:00 am

  I was really sceptical about this car when qwe went to buy it. I thought it would be under powered and un comfortable. I am a big person over 6 tall and weight to go with it. To my suprise you could adjust the seat to fit even my size. My wife fell in love with it but i was still leary. After a couple of weeks and driving it myself,though I dont get to drive it veroften its "Her" car, my mind was tottaly changed. It is very peppy for a four banger and a blast to drive. Another huge plus is the stereo rocks. Over ll this car is awsome.
