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.

  So Far So Good - 2004 Ford Focus
  By jimstoic - June 4 - 10:00 am

  The only problems Ive experienced in my first month have to do with the paint job: Ive gotten two chips off the paint on the hood. I dropped the car by an independent body shop, where I was told the chipping, while lamentable, was not unusual for any car that had been hit by a pebble on the road.

  My #1 Car - 2004 Ford Focus
  By Brian - June 3 - 11:31 am

  I bought my 2004 Ford Focus ZX3 back in late April and let me say that I love it. I bought it with 35,789 miles and the previous owner barley drove it but it needs a little of work. It has the 2.3L PZEV engine and it is quiet. The previous 2.0 SPI and Ztech engines were loud but the 2.3L PZEV is quiet. I get around 24 in the city and around 29 on the highway and I love it a lot. Like I said earlier it needs a little of work. It needs new rotors, front wheel bearings, and the transmission fluid needs to be cahnged but other than that its my #1 car. I previously owned some junk vehicles before but this is a car that I would recomend to someone if they need a good vehicle.

  I still love this car! - 2004 Ford Focus
  By juliesincharge - May 9 - 8:00 pm

  I bought my yellow [bumble bee, per my husband] SVT in early May 2004 and have been driving it non-stop ever since. The day "I" drove it off the lot, I did not know how to drive a stick, so my husband drove it home for me. I am now a pro! It is a fabulous car. It still feels new to me. I have had the sunroof motor replace (under warranty), the drivers seat belt (twice under warranty), the clutch petal cover, and the rotors and brake pads at 45,000 miles (for that I blame the Ford mechanics in retrospect, I do not think they needed replaced). There is not another car I want ... until the new model Mustangs come out! Ive read there were only 123 of these made is that true????

  2004 Ford Focus ZTS Sedan 2.3 - 2004 Ford Focus
  By Focus # 2 - April 28 - 4:31 pm

  Primarily a Toyata fan, this became my second Focus following an accident totaling the one I purchased in 2003. the biggest problem I have had was with a brake caliper sticking wearing out the low profile tires on the front end. Overall, tire wear has continued to be a problem I had never experienced.

  Focused - 2004 Ford Focus
  By Outta Focus - April 28 - 2:00 am

  Ive only had the vehicle for about 3 months but I couldnt be happier. I opted for the 2.3L engine and I am very happy with the low end torque, and passes with ease on the freeway. I like the interior also with its sharp looks and comfortable seating.

  Worn Brakes - 2004 Ford Focus
  By JohnNV51 - March 23 - 2:00 am

  We really enjoy the car. My youngest daughter is the primary driver. Since we have owned it, several of my co- workers have purchased one for their teenagers. The handling is quick and the car has a nice feel on the road at highway speeds. The sound system is nice and the seats are comfortable. We like the fold down rear seats as we can fit the snow boards inside.

  2001 ford focus - 2004 Ford Focus
  By cab - March 23 - 2:00 am

  I have a 2001 Ford Focus. I have the high performance tires on the car which suck if you live in the Northeast. They are horrible on bumps and have had bubbles in them caused by hitting potholes. Hello this is the notrtheast. If the tire can not take potholes then dont sell cars with that type of tires in the northeasr. sell them only in phoenix. I have had constant emission problems. Thank god they were covered by the warranty. The paint has rusted & chipped out by the trunck. Which was covered by warranty. At 40,000 miles my starter went and i had to pu a new one in .

  This should have been a LEMON Vehicle - 2004 Ford Focus
  By Elisa Maldonado - March 23 - 2:00 am

  I bought in 6/00 a brand new Ford Focus 2000. To make the long story short, I have had to have 5 fuel pumps put in the car. Has left me on the street, shop had my vehicle for 3 months, could not figure out what was wrong with it. Co worker at work has similiar problems that I had, she has traded the car since. Her vehicle was newer than mine.
