    Good Points: All round good car, looks nice even as it gets older.


    Bad Points: Thirsty car.


    General comments: I have a 52 plate, 1.6 auto Ford Focus Zetec, so basically your average run of the mill car, it handles well and is quite responsive, BUT PLEASE BEWARE, if you buy the automatic version you will notice its thirst for fuel, especially around town, can be sluggish on exceleration, but the next bit will shock you, because it is an Auto, it has high emmissions, beware of this, my tax is mental: 6 months = £112, 12 months = £205. Thats right, 1.6 engine, over 200 pounds for a years tax!

    I was planning to buy a used but excellent condition Alfa Romeo 156 twin sparks. But despite the great reviews I read on this site I just couldn't shake the idea of a used Italian car, when I think of Ducati and the people I know have said never buy an Italian car or bike. So I looked into buying a new one, but given my age, fully comprehensive insurance would have crippled me. So I looked at other cars and found the Ford Focus to be an acceptable diversion. I took it out for a test drive and to ...

    This Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec 5dr is by far the best car I have ever bought, it looks good, runs fantastic and I have never had any problems with this car. I have read a lot of these reviews about the focus being a bad car with a lot of problems, it cant be that bad as I am replacing mine this month for another 1.6 zetec... well done ford.

    I bought my 2002 brand new off the lot and one week later i had a transmission leak. I was called in a week after that because they said i needed a co-signer, well when they did the new paperwork, the put it as a used car because the miles i put on it and i did not realize this. My brakes have gone out 3 times, ive had my radio replaced 7x now, the lights in my dash go out daily for 30 minute periods of time. My electrical panel fell behind my brakes when i was driving.,, which they blamed on an ...

    I have owned a 1.6 Zetec Ford Focus for 15 months and each time I sit behind the wheel I feel on par with Coin MacRae. The handling is super...and I've driven loads of cars....and nothing comes close. Yet ride comfort is very good and shrugs bumps and thumps away with finesse. The interior is well designed and my wife finds it really easy to secure baby Emma into the baby-seat without breaking her back. The upright driving position is very comfortable and gives plenty of view of the road ahead. ...
