Pros: Handling, Room, Mileage, Styling, Feature Set
Cons: No daytime running lights
I cannot express in an email the depth to which I enjoy my Focus. I have owned my ZX3 for a bit over 2 months, and still find little touches that I like. For the price, I don't think anything else on the market can even compare. For under $14,000 ... read more

Pros: nice ride, plenty of room, great stereo
Cons: options were a little pricey
I recently bought a 2000 Focus four door and I love it. I had seen the commercials on TV, espescially the one where everyone in the car is saying, "Dude" and they drive over some train tracks. I had no real intentions of buying a new car, but ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Exceptional handling, comfort, price, fun to drive.
Cons: Ford's lack of spare parts in case you need of accident. Recalls.
The Bottom Line: Despite the recalls and some problems, it's still a great car. With the price of less than $13,000, u just can't beat it.
This is by far the best small car in the market. Do not mistake the hatchback to be a small car. When you park this next to any other sedans or it's category, it is actually bigger. It has the best handling and cornering of it's class, smooth ride and ... read more

Pros: The features for the price
Cons: being the only one here who has one
In November 1999 we had to have a new car. I was worried that we couldn't afford it since we are a one income family with two small children. We went to the Ford dealership just to wish some way we could afford a new car. As soon as we pulled up I saw ... read more

Pros: This car is in the Ford first time buyers program.
Cons: The options that make the car fabulous are pricey.
My first brand new car. I am so happy, nervous, exited, and scared I hardly notice what the salesman is saying! After what seems like days (but was really only an hour) I am the proud new owner of a 2000 Ford Focus!
Am I to believe that this ... read more

Pros: Fun, fast, economy, great looks
Cons: On the smallish end of the size spectrum
I took one look at the Ford Focus ZX-3(hatch back), and thought "That can't be a Ford". But a Ford it is my dear friends and neighbors!!!
The Focus looks fun just sitting there, with a sexy sleek front end and lines any airplane designer ... read more

Pros: Small size with lots of room, and a not too big price.
Cons: can't think of any.
First and foremost I have to admit I am a bit biased about the Ford Focus, as I did work for a Ford dealership when I purchased my 2000 Focus LX. But it wasn't the fact that I worked there that convinced me that this was a great small car at a great ... read more

Pros: Excellent dynamics, great price, lots of room
Cons: Fake wood trim on ZTS, Firestone Firehawk tires
In my opinion, this is the best car for the money. I bought the ZTS Sedan edition with leather seats and side airbags. The leather seats are excellent, and I love how the seat height is adjustable. The view out of the car is nearly SUV-like in that you ... read more

The 2000 Ford Focus ZX3 is a great little car. It was my first car and I couldn't be happier with it.
The ZX3 model is especially cool because it has a funky look to it, but with the hatch, you can move your belongings, you can go camping, you can ... read more

Cons: Hard at times in the ZX3 to check behind you, blindspots.
I bought this car because FORD motor credit was the only place that would finance me for my first car. I was really excited about any new car but fell in love with this one from the moment I laid eyes on it. It is extremely quick and agile, the ZX3 ... read more

The Ford Focus is a great little record-setting car. It is the first car to ever win North American Car of the Year, and European Car of the Year awards. And it definitely deserves it. This car is the same overall length as the Escort, but the wheelbase ... read more
