Replying to: 2fastdre (Oct 13, 2005 12:28 pm) If you are getting it just for commuting, a used ZX3 might be good, a new ZX3 S (cheapest trim) with optional aircon is a steal...   but wait until Ford has at least $2-3K in rebates on them, this happens about 5 times a year.

#2802 of 2869 Re: My ZX3 is in the Shop ... For a Shocks Upgrade! [micweb] by fordfocus Oct 19, 2005 (9:05 am)
Replying to: micweb (Apr 21, 2004 10:13 am) hi micweb, how did those Monroe's hold up over the long term? My rear shock is leaking after only 40k km (covered by now expired warranty at 60k km, total 100k km on car now), but don't know about going aftermarket since in my mind OEM would be designed for longer life? I just want the original, soft, plush, keep-tires-on-pavement confident, ride...are the Monroe's stiffer than OEM? Are OEM made by KYB?

Replying to: fordfocus (Oct 19, 2005 9:05 am) Uh...my long term never seems to get beyond 10,000 miles or so per car...the most miles I put on a car in the past five years, was 44,000 on a 2001 VW Golf...so I can't help you there. But Monroe and KYB both have an excellent reputation. Don't know who makes OEM. The KYB's I put on my recent ZX3 are too firm.   I recommend shopping for "menu" pricing on struts/shocks at some Ford dealers. OEM is best - exactly the right spec matched to your VIN. Pricing does vary a lot from dealer to dealer, on the menu pricing deals it includes installation which is the biggest part of the cost. That having been said, any number of independents seem to do fine strut work at great prices, including Pep Boys (used them), Wheel Works (used them), Big O Tires (used them) etc. Sears also has great ad specials and uses Monroe, I believe.

Replying to: micweb (Oct 19, 2005 9:37 am) ok thanks for your response, that was fast...you must have ESP to have known I posted here! I will learn more about this 'menu' pricing...but thanks again
#2805 of 2869 Bicycle Rack Options by rwgreenberg Oct 25, 2005 (5:37 pm)
Hi. I'm wondering if any of you cart around bicycles with your ZX3 and how you do it. The most convenient form of bicycle rack I've seen is the type that attaches to a trailer hitch and folds down when one needs to get into the hatch. Have any of you had any experience getting a hitch ball (or whatever it's called) installed on your Focus? Replies to this message: ianl (Jan 14, 2006 5:00 pm)
#2806 of 2869 bought 2002 ZX3 three hours ago by ohionycbama Oct 28, 2005 (7:53 pm)
I just purchased a black 02 ZX3 from a local Mazda dealership today. It has 36,000 miles on it and got it for $8500+tax/title. I hope that was a good deal. I have only driven it home so far, about .3 miles, but I really hope that she treats me well. From reading some of the entries here it kinda seems like it is luck of the draw when it comes to how well these cars holds up. I think I am going to take it out for a spin right now....thanks for the great forum. Glad there are sites like this where questions can be asked and answered from other owners!!!!

Replying to: rwgreenberg (Oct 25, 2005 5:37 pm) I saw a Ford ZX3 Kona with a nice Ford roof top Bike rack, I'm busy searching to find one for my car. I need to cart bikes and a Kayak so fitting a tow hitch mount will not do it for me. I will lt you know if I find one. Ian'
#2809 of 2869 Ka Imported? by maverick Jan 30, 2006 (10:01 am)
Host, Is there any chance that Ford will import the Ka? I think it could be a big seller for the fuel conscience. Replies to this message: reuel3 (Feb 01, 2006 6:34 pm)
