Owners' Reviews

I have a 2003 ford focus zx3 and bought it brand new. I would not recommend this car to anybody, ford made these cars cheaply and they are severely flawed. My car is almost 8 years old and only has 81,252 miles on it because i cant keep it running long to put very many miles on it. and repairs are costly. Not and ideal car for some one looking for something cost efficiant. My list of repairs are below. 20k airconditioner leaking freon 23k radio/cd player broke 28k igniton had to be replaced/ altenator had to be replaced 29k trunk release but quit working 34k air conditioner broke again 36k new tires 71k evaporator core leak in the a/c 72k Door handle will no longer opent door have to leave window rolled down open from passenger side. 72k window lever broke 74k new water pump and pump housing 75k missing very bad 75k new spark plugs and wires and new ignition coil 75k blown fuses & all but 1 light went out so had to replace bulbs 76k gas & temp gauges were inaccurate and hung up. 81k water pump adaptor cracked 81k rough start and alot of vibration and noise when in park/reverse usually stops when the car warms up 81k makes a grinding noise whenever you run over a bump in the road 81k when in reverse with your wheels turned makes an extreamly loud and embarassing squealing noise

what ? (smile) its a good car I just want to stay ahead of the game
