“I think the Ford Focus LX is a great car however when...”
★★☆☆☆
written by on 10/08/2009
I think the Ford Focus LX is a great car however when I first drove in my full 100 percent driving I notice the accelerator is not at the same level with the other two pedals (break pedal and clutch) which is a bit pain when your uphill because I don't use hand break in an uphill start which will give me some tiny delay to press the accelerator but a delay enough for me to go down a little. In general the car performance is ok and the design of the body is good but it has negative effects when you're driving. Specially the rear part of the car which gives me hard time parking because the rear window is a bit slant so its hard to say how far are you with the other car behind you and the actual rear bumper has a I don't know how to describe it but a little spikey I guess and slant which is a different calculation again because you have to remind yourself that you've got an extra inch of an ass that you can't see..The car wasn't my choice anyway so I'll let them struggle driving it.hehe.
Peace and love...

Limpet's Response to nostrilotoole's Review
Written on: 13/01/2013
I had a 2001 Focus 1.8 as a company car. Put 99,700 miles on it in three years. Outside of scheduled servicing it had an auxiliary belt tensioner replaced, and a rear tyre developed an odd wear pattern and needed replacing prematurely. The most reliable car I have ever experienced (including two Hondas)

My experience entirely. I had a 2003 2 litre Ghia, which I purchased with 30,000 miles on the clock. The car was excellent to drive, but a disaster reliability wise, much worse than the examples above. I will never buy another Ford. NEVER!!!!!
As a run around for my sons we have a 1997 Toyota RAV 4 for the last four years, which has now done 150,000 miles. Couldn't be more different from the Ford. Apart from normal servicing it has just needed a coil and a steering joint gaiter. My garage tells me that almost the entire car has still has its original parts - normal for Toyota.
