2000 Ford Focus LX from North America
Summary:
A wonderful car at a wonderful price
Faults:
The only problem that I have experienced was at the car wash, somehow my antenna's seal around the base failed and my car leaked water into the interior through my dome light.
Nothing else has gone wrong, and the dealer had no problem fixing it. I have yet to experience any other problems or difficulty with my car, and I doubt that they will happen.
The Focus' performance is wonderful!
I have just recently bought the vehicle and am enjoying it very much. I feel that it was a wonderful buy and investment.
General Comments:
The Focus is quick and sleek.
I enjoy the tight turning radius and feel in control when I drive the car.
This car can go fast when needed without any hesitation or stalling.
(I know other people with automatic transmissions and they tend to stall.)
The 2000 Ford Focus LX is a great buy for the money and I recommend one to anyone who is looking for a compact sedan.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The problem with the Focus line is the same problem with the other two of the big three in North America: Great launches followed by excessive cost cutting. It doesn't help that the US economy tanked around 2000 and Ford and the others went after their supply base with a vengeance to control costs. This contributed to terrible quality problems.
