You know, a buddy of mine has a 2000 Focus ZX3 hatch. Forget how many miles he has on it, but not that many. Under 40k still.
Spends it's life in the dealership. He typically puts on 20k -per year-. Every time he turns around, SES light is on or the car isn't running right. Three different dealerships have been through the thing, and he already got two or three PCMs, and a whole new -cylinder head- when it started making valvetrain noise. That's not including seven cam position sensors and that thing for the exhaust cam variable timing. Personally, I'd never touch one of those. I'm done buying Fords anyways.. that pissed off that they killed the Escort, still unhappy about the 96-97 redesign and subsequent elimination of anything resembling performance. :P GoinRallyin! -95 Escort HB - KitFox Rally MkIII -01 Silverado 2500HD |

Yeah I donīt like the 1997 restyling of the Escort either. They should have keep the Escort and brought the Focus as a non replacement for it.

Focalblur:
I would have to thoroughly disagree with you. I have owned other vehicles that were well under 20g's new that I was far more satisfied with, that were in most aspects superior to the Focus. |

Wow! I see the e-mail pop up with your reply.. I keep opening it waiting for a flame... and there is none... Thank You!!
Hyundai has come a long way, and I must congratulate them. As far as GM goes, I am impressed with both the cars I listed. Longevity still hasn't been proven for the new models, but I don't see a lot of owners complaining about them, so they can't be too bad Although Saturn is under the GM corporate umbrella, I don't consider them as a part ... probably because the vast difference in dealer experiences... anyway, when I purchase another new car it will be either an S series or an L Series. Saturn won my loyalty with all aspects of ownership. I don't know why I strayed and tried the Focus, probably because I have been a long time Ford owner, and loyal Ford fan. Love my F-150.. hated that Focus. |
