Has done me well for many years

2003 Ford Focus ZX3

Like icon Likes

I bought this car used with 36,000 miles on it in 2006. The Ford Focus ZX3 was a fun, zippy little 4 cylinder car, great for a kid's first car. Gas mileage was great, and maintenance costs were always reasonable. The trim level I bought was basic, but everything worked great. I will say that the car also gets a great grade for safety from me and my family. I gifted the car to my younger brother when he went off to college in 2010. He was stopped at a traffic light behind an SUV and a second SUV rear ended him at about 40 mph pushing him into the car SUV in front. While the car suffered extensive damage and was no longer able to be driven, my brother was unharmed, with only a few bruises. All in all the Ford Focus was an excellent vehicle as an everyday driver.

If I had to choose one thing for this vehicle that I disliked it would be the space for passengers in the car. Considering it was a 2 door hatchback the rear passenger seats did not leave a lot of room for medium to large bodied persons. In addition the car itself was fairly compact and drivers and front passenger's may find themselves uncomfortable on longer trips.

Fantastic car

2011 Ford Focus

Like icon Likes

An amazing car, I have the 1.6 petrol version, 85 KW, I travel all over Europe and I am using daily as a ride-sharing driver, it works amazing and just reaches 300.000 km without any problems, just usual service and maintenance! The driver seat is a big plus, after 7-8 hours of driving my back never hurt and I am very impressed also about the fuel consumption, with 3 adults and luggage, even in mountain areas, never exceed 8 liters of LPG! Just bulbs are giving me headaches, but I have a bag full of all types in my trunk, and changing them it is quite easy! 5 stars for this model!
