 Detailed review:

I had to laugh when this site lists the Focus ZTS as having 157 h.p. when Ford's web site lists it as only having 130 h.p. So, is Ford or this site right? I say Ford. My boyfriend and I found that out when checking for a compact FWD sedan that was both powerful and fuel-economical enough without going to a high-performance compact. This one failed miserably on the power! Both traction control and 4-wheel ABS are optional for it. It includes the automatic. It is not available with a stereo with both cassette and CD. It lacks sufficient cargo room. The Ford dealer was too much into trying to pressuring us into buying it before we knew if we wanted it or not. Fortunately, through research and checking dealerships, we found what we were looking for and needing. It is the 2003 Cavalier LS sedan. We got a better rebate with it. It had the features this one did not or were optional with it. I suggest to go with the Cavalier LS or LS Sport sedan instead!
