Boston Acoustics TVee Model Two TV Speakers

Pros: Cute, fares well in crash test, good price.
Cons: A bit noisy, won't appeal to everyone. Inside has a plastic feel.

The day I brought my BMW in for an over 4 hour servicing I was leant a car. The car I got was a 2002 Ford Focus Sedan with 13, 701 miles. I am writing this review as a lay person. I am not a car salesperson, mechanic or expert.

...

Pros: Functional interior, Adequate room.
Cons: Price can get steep, Does not have much of a fun factor, WARRANTY.

Back when the Ford Focus was introduced in late 1999 as a 2000 model it boasted many attributes that surpassed the competition. It had bold styling, a modern interior with plenty of amenities, a good price, and good fuel economy. Fortunately for...

Pros: Well powered. Good gas milage.
Cons: Price is horrible.

I recently went out and test-drove one of these puppies, and here are a few random thoughts I had from this experience…

- In the event of a head on collision, the car’s engine is designed to separate for the car’s frame and drop to the ground....

Pros: Peppy Engine, Roomy, Inspired Handling, Great Price
Cons: Not as much cargo room as the Wagon, Many recalls in the past

To the casual observer, the Ford Focus would seem to be little more than a big company’s entry into the small car segment. And to a certain degree that is true. What’s not readily obvious to most is that the Ford Focus has essentially redefined the...

Pros: performance (with five speed),strong ac, comfortable
Cons: quality control issues

I purchased a second hand 2002 Ford Focus ZX3 from the local Ford dealer when I felt it was time to move on from my 1999 Ford Contour. I got a good amount for my trade in, roughly what I'd paid for that car six months and 23,000 miles earlier. The car is ...

Pros: Economical to drive and roomy front interior.
Cons: The exterior appearance may take time to get use to.

Ford Focus Hatchback 2002. Focus for the New Century. At first glance looking at the front en ...

Pros: Steering feel, chassis balance, shifter feel, front and rear seating, driving position, distinctive styling
Cons: Ride quality, reliability record, narrow cargo area

The #1 thing I look for in a car, before horsepower, quality, or anything else, is a chassis that entertains in everyday driving. Over the last decade Ford's European subsidiary has developed what are arguably the best-handling front-wheel-drive cars in ...

Pros: Solid middle of the road transportation
Cons: Rear blind spots

I got this Focus new a couple of years ago and haven't regretted it for one minute (okay, I'll admit I don't like making payments every month). But in a world where things rarely seem to be all their cracked up to be, I can honestly say this car is a ...

Pros: Handles well, good acceleration, great cargo space
Cons: Price?

While SUVs have become increasingly more popular on the road these days, don't be sucked in just yet.

(short) SUV RANT

OK, I know that some people genuinely need the cargo or the off-road capability of these things, but really...

Pros: road visibility and mirrors, roomy and comfortable for econobox, front-end styling, effective a/c, good stereo
Cons: rear blind spot, fairly wimpy engine, slightly disconnected feel from road, gas hogging a/c

I picked up a gold 2002 Focus LX stripped bare (no cd, cry) with a stick for 4800$ with only 30000 miles on it. It is the first car I can call my own, and the first I've driven with a stick. Before buying this, I primarily drove my wife's 1995 ...

Pros: Economical, good gas mileage, comfortable, stylish
Cons: none.

After years of driving my Geo Metro and my husbands Chevrolet Cavalier, my husband and I decided that a new car purchase was in order. Don't get me wrong here, the Geo Metro has been a pretty reliable little car, and the Chevrolet Cavalier has endured...

Pros: This is not a 1/4 mile car!
Cons: This is not a 1/4 mile car!

When I took delivery of this car in June 2002, it was little known and often mistaken for a Honda Civic. One of the first ones on the street of Toronto, I immediately got compliments taking the members of a local car club free rides in some twisty ...

Pros: Zetec:4.25L, elevated seating, gas mileage, roomy storage space, sporty look
Cons: Painful sound vibrations when windows are open,soft breaks,small console, and ABS isn't a standard feature

UPDATE: I am writing this update after owning my 2001 Ford Focus wagon only 4 1/2 months. After taking my vehicle to the auto dealership to have them investigate why when the windows go down (especially the rear ones) an extremely loud and painful...

Pros: Distinctive looks, inexpensive, roomy, lots of headroom, nice stereo
Cons: Acceleration could be a little more powerful

I bought my Focus sedan in November 2001. So I've had it for a month or two now. I'm completely satisfied - I love this great little car!

Exterior Appearance

I love how the Focus is different than all the other look-alike...

Pros: Amazing power train; even better handling; awesome brakes; and that sound!
Cons: Mini-van lovers will complain about the unforgiving ride; expect to get some tickets!

At the time of this writing, I have had my SVT Focus for about two weeks, and I...am...in love.

Let's start with the visuals... Personally, I have a very slight issue with the way the window line travels up to the rear of the car on the sides,...
