Favorite feature: |
Roomy passenger compartment, not bad on fuel. |
Least favorite feature: |
Poor power, small trunk, too many optional features that should be standard, no cassette or OnStar. |
Advice to buyer: |
My suggestion is to go with the 2003 Cavalier LS sedan instead. |
Detailed review: |
This is one compact sedan I checked and drove before making a choice. It was not too bad on passenger room. And it was not bad on fuel economy. But it lacked enough power for me. It lacked enough trunk room. It was not available with a stereo with both cassette and CD. And too many of its features were optional. It includes 4-wheel ABS. It includes Advance Traction even with automatic versions. And it lacked one other handy feature I found available in the 2003 Cavalier LS sedan which comes in handy. It is OnStar. It has standard 4-wheel ABS. The automatics have standard Advance Traction. And it is available with a stereo system with both cassette and CD. It is as well as XM Satellite Radio. And with all the features being optional for the Focus, it cost more. Plus, I found the Cavalier LS to have enough power for me. And I got a better cash rebate on the Cavalier LS than Ford offers with the Focus. My sugestion is to forget this car and go with the 2003 Cavalier LS sedan. |
