#159 of 613 Kmh Fuel Reserve by lnauss1 Jul 29, 2003 (3:21 pm)
Does anyone know the true fuel reserve on a vtec 2000 Focus SE wagon?   Also, what is the total Kilometres per tank. We are getting 580 kilometres on a 2000 wagon. We did a lease buyout and the car, at the time of purchase, had 38500 km.   Car is in mint shape. We purchased an extended warranty. All recalls were taken care of during lease agreement.   regards,   Lloyd
#160 of 613 11 months with a 2002 ZTW. 5 stars all the way. by flasvt Jul 31, 2003 (8:01 pm)
I had a 2002 ZTW. Gray leather interior with liquid gray exterior. I had it for 11 month and gave me 13,000 trouble free miles. It always was sweet and reliable ride. What happened? Well, got curious and went to test drive the SVT Focus. Halfway to the test drive it was clear that the regular ZTEC wouldn't do it for me anymore. I wish that Ford offered an SVT Focus wagon, like thjey do in Europe where it is refered to as the ST170. I would buy one in a minute. Check out Ford UK's website. Look at the clime control knobs and metal interior door handles. This car has so much more content in Europe. Whoever as the need for a very practical economy car will be hard pressed to find a better option. Feel free to ask me any question. At least that will make my 11 months of ownership worth something to somebody. As for the SVT...hmmmmmm.

Glad your ZTW is running good. I'll be returning to the USA in 53 days and will be picking up a loaded '03 ZTW I ordered. Wished I could have got the Duratech, but I guess the Ztech will have to do. I rented a Focus with the low grade engine in Honolulu last week and it was a dog. Hope the Ztech has more juice!

Yep, cars in Britain have much more content. But, they cost a lot more, too. The British (and nearly everyone else in the world) do NOT equate small with cheap. Ford tried to sell Contours upmarket. It couldn't compete with the Taurus and the other companies small cars at lesser prices at the same time.
#164 of 613 Bad back problem on the driver side by dominickc1 Aug 30, 2003 (7:03 pm)
Has anybody had troubles with their Focus Wagon SE of not having Lumbar support in the driver side. I have a 02 Focus Wagon that I dearly love and now having troubles with my back, because I can't sit to long in my Focus wagon. I'm seriously thinking of trading it in for a ZTW wagon that has a Lumbar support on it. It only has 9,000 miles on and it is very good with the gas mileage. We are going to LasVegas next month with it and now I'm serious thinking of not going or trading it in before that. What I'm thinking of is that I'm going to get hit with a higher car payment. But I get a discount through my job with the X plan. If anybody out their can give me some advice I'll appreciate it. I'm disable and won't be able to fly, because I'll need my medical scooter.

Have you considered having an upholstery shop or auto trim place install a seat with lumbar support, perhaps even from a ZTW??? It CAN be done, and would be far cheaper than trading...
#166 of 613 Seat - back ache by retiredguy Aug 31, 2003 (4:25 am)
I have a 2003 ZTW with the lumbar seat. I have to use a 1" foam kitchen chair seat cushion (placed upright against the back), or I will get a back ache within 2 miles of driving. There was a post a couple months ago where he had extra foam put in the seats and is happy with the results.   My lumbar adjustment is set for the least "support" and it still causes trouble.   My advice is for anyone contemplating buying any car drive it at least 50 miles before signing up. I had a problem with another brand and walked away.

Well, GM currently allows up to 100 mile overnight test drives at participating dealers. GM cars only, of course.
#168 of 613 Leaking rainwater by rmsmallll Sep 26, 2003 (5:56 pm)
The carpet on the front driver's side of my 2003 wagon (bought it two months ago) gets sopping wet when it rains. It's apparently leaking from somewhere underneath. The service rep where I bought it tells me that "unfortunately" (his exact word) some Focuses have a leaking problem but that it's fixable. So after owning this car for only two months it's already going to spend some time in the shop. Has anyone here heard of or experienced this leaking problem?
