2000 Ford Focus

Pros: cute, great gas mileage, TONS OF FEATURES

Cons: needs a little more legroom for people over 6 feet, seatbelt bonger will give you a heart attack

Review: My husband just got a new job, which is going to require a lot of travelling. The way we saw it, we had two options: run either of our 10 year old+ cars into the ground, or by a new one. Somehow, my husband convinced me to trade in my 1991 Cavalier...

Pros: Excellent design, execution and build; Fun to drive; Wagon variant is a best buy; No glaring weaknesses

Cons: Strong chassis demands more horsepower; Needs to go upscale; no 5spd available for wagon (until 2001MY)

Review: Typically I don't write about products I haven't owned, but I've felt compelled to write about Ford's new successful product, the Focus. If the Focus represents the current thinking in Dearborn, MI, Ford and American car buyers have a lot to look forward...

Pros: affordable, roomy, comfortable, handles well, quiet, well-equipped

Cons: some of the controls, visibility poor, horrible marketing, long wait on factory orders, reliability undetermined

Review: With all the hype about the 2000 Ford Focus, you'd think that Ford was giving away rocketships. Is the 2000 Ford Focus a well-equipped, comfortable economy car? Absolutely. Is it the dawning of a new era of Euro-styled, ergonomically-attuned, New Edge...

Pros: Sound System. Engine Performance. Roominess

Cons: None Noticed.

The Bottom Line: Stay away from the tires.

Review: I recently purchased the 2000 Ford Focus. I am very impressed with the 16-valve 2.0 litre engine. The engine provides lots of power. There is plenty of room in the front and rear seats. My baby car seat fits comfortably in the rear seat. The console is ...

Pros: Small size with lots of room, and a not too big price.

Cons: can't think of any.

Review: First and foremost I have to admit I am a bit biased about the Ford Focus, as I did work for a Ford dealership when I purchased my 2000 Focus LX. But it wasn't the fact that I worked there that convinced me that this was a great small car at a great...

Pros: Fast, Sporty, Comfortable, Economical, Plenty of Headroom/Footroom, Standard CD Player, Great Factory Sound System, Adjustable Seat Height, and Loads of Trunk Space!!

Cons: Chipped Dashboard Paint, Blind Spot, No Sunroof, Inconvenient Volume Range on Stereo

Review: When I saw my first glimpse of the Ford Focus ZX3, I was walking along Connecticut Avenue in Washington, D.C. I had been looking around for a replacement car for my 1991 Toyota Tercel for a few months, so when I saw the ZX3, I stopped dead in my...

Pros: Economical, ergonomics at its best, sophisticated, appears to exude class and prestige

Cons: I can only add it's been high time for Ford to take control

Review: With all the awards that Ford Motor Company has won in Europe and North America for its Ford Focus 2000, we can only predict the unveiling of the the technological experience and cutting-edge technology and design which will mark the new generation of...

Pros: Great total package at a bargain price

Cons: Some road noise, could have better pickup in first.

Review: I have owned a 2000 Ford Focus ZTS for 6 weeks and 1900 miles, and I have nothing but praise for the car.

The car I bought is pretty much top of the line, with all options except automatic transmission (I wanted the 5 speed) and the engine...

Pros: handling, room, comfort, price

Cons: new design, a few "bugs" yet

Review: Much had been written in the automotive press about Ford's new replacement for the long-time Escort and the somewhat unsuccessful Contour, the Focus. My spouse and I spent much time reading about the car, as a car which receives so much praise in...

Pros: Styling,Comfort,Design,Performance,Quality,Service!

Cons: We haven't found any...sorry! They just aren't there!

Review: My husband and I were shopping for a "good" used car or SUV, when an enterprising dealer here in Seattle introduced us to the "new experience" of the Ford Focus (September '99). We had some specific features in mind, to meet our...
