Smile Re: First Gen Focus

I've got a 03 model LR Zetec hatch back and it's a great zip around car. I'm 6'2" and it is comfortable to drive. I got the car with 136,000k's and have done ~20,000k's

pros
good on fuel ~600k's to a full tank $55
manual 1.8ltr is powerful enough
comfortable seats for large people in the front

cons
revs at ~3000 rpm in 5th at 110kph
not much legroom in the back

problems I've had
radiator hose replaced
new coil pack and spark plugs
engine mount

apart from the above items, I like the car and it's zippy around town, plenty of room in the back when the seats are folded down

I give it 7/10
