2003 Ford Focus ZX 3 2 L
Summary:
Very Good value for the price
Faults:
Had to change overdrive solenoid - Ford added extended warranty for all ZX 3 on transmission and powertrain - 5 years and 100k miles, so it is a covered item.
General Comments:
Good car. Handles really well for price point. Comfortable for around town - have Volvo and Acura for road trips so unsure about comfort on longer road trip. Gas mileage is OK. Big improvement over Volvo wagon.
Very happy with car. Stylish enough, comfortable enough, great sound system - roomy interior.
Good value for price.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I own a 2003 Ford Focus ZX3, but the mechanic has it AGAIN. It's his as much as it is mine. This car is not an "economical car", nor is it reliable in any possible way.
Since I bought this car, I have had multiple problems with EVERYTHING YOU CAN POSSIBLY THINK OF. From my transmission, to my air conditioning, then to my distributor, even my turn signals. Oh and let's not forget the little things like my horn itself; the whole piece fell out of my car while driving.
This car does not belong on the road, but should be recycled into a pop can. The only reason I still have this car is because Rumpke won't pick it up when I sit it out next to the trash can.
