| we got blue w/black trim...same as our zx3. does the color watch that other focus owners have rec'd match your car color by any chance? curious or is it pot-luck? | |
| Since there is no hatch back category which one would you put it in? Luxury two door coupe, I don't think so. It fits in the sports coupe category since those are the buyers it's aimed at. | |
| I haven't got my G-shock watch and I bought my Focii in Dec. Maybe I need to be patient for one more week then I'm going to rush into my dealer to ask for it. BTW, is that watch coming from your dealer or Ford? | |

| fgaydos, I went to www.ford.com and clicked on OwnerConnection from the homepage. You have to register first and select a user ID and password, then in you go. When I clicked on the "recall" link next to the picture of the Focus, I found out about the "00E09" recall. Have fun. | |

Yes, Silver, I got the same flag notice of a recall. I sent a email to Ford asking what it is about. Will let you know if I get a reply. 2000 Ford Focus Recall More Info 00E09 FAQ's |

Dear Zx3 Owners: As you all have heard...I have been waiting 5 weeks (or 5.5 weeks) for my Focus zx-3 to return after being struck by a deer and struck while unattended in a parking lot. 2 hits in 2 weeks. Bad luck. I went to the dealer and they have promised me that the car will be returned sometime next week. I am to call on Friday. They noticed that I need a new rear wheel and they just ordered it the other day. It is missing the black strip on the side of each door. Interestingly enough, even on the door where there was no damage! I suspect they took that part off and put it on another damaged Focus. Do you think they would do such a thing? The workmanship is acceptable, but not outstanding. The body panels were perfect from the factory, but now it is less so. What can I expect? So it is all very disappointing for me since I have been researching into this purchase since the Spring of '99. I can say that I have had a mixed experience with the Ford Motor Company. On the one hand, they have been polite and understanding and on the other hand...they have been rude at times, employ stone walling tactics and incompetent (they have been building for 100 years....and they have no spare parts? Of course greed is a big factor.. Greed is short lived. You will pay later for your greed). I have been consistently courteous with only 1 demand and 1 notice...I want my car back now and telling them if they want to keep their customers then they better be customer oriented! I realise that this is all a vain attempt to change a system designed to 'put-down'the customer. Still, I try. So if you want to avoid my experience please drive safely. Is the Watch going to both US and Canadian Customers? I found that statistic that approxx 70,000 Focus are ordered for the Canadian market. If this occured in the States that would translate to 700,000 orders since the population of USA is 1/10 of Canada. What are they putting in the water to our Northern Neighbo(u)rs to make them so Focus mad? I have not received my watch (Purchased my Focus in mid December of the last century! Should I worry?

From my truly pathetic dictionary: The meaning of a hatchback is 'an automobile with a sloping back and an upward-opening rear hatch. Coupe is 'a closed automobile with 2 doors' To my mind a coupe is a car like a monte carlo (i.e. 2 doors and a trunk) and a hatchback is VW Golf. Without Question a zx-3 is a hatchback. Perhaps the award for best coupe in the AJAC awards section is not 100% correct, but an award is an award. ND |
