#51 of 613 re: ordering Ford re damianip by damianip Nov 16, 2001 (4:22 am)
I agree with you regarding VW, however, the fact is that they will build a car to my liking, have one somewhere and always have.   With Ford, when I requested a manual transmission, they looked at me like I had two heads. They subsequently offered cars to me that had autos. They did this three times. If they are going to offer a manual, then they should build some with a manual. If someone orders one, they should not be made to wait this long.   BTW, I previously wrote "over five months". To be fair to Ford, I had meant to write "almost five months".   PD
#52 of 613 ? for damianip Options by moparbad Nov 16, 2001 (6:10 am)
What options did you order and what color will the car be? For a 2002 SE Wagon w/410A with ABS, Side Airbags, Moonroof, and 5 speed I was quoted $16,350. I am waiting to see what next year brings and have not quite decided for sure on the Focus. Post again after you get the car and share your experience please.

I'm a bad example for price comparisons because I got my Focus through the Ford X-Plan (program for Ford mfg. partners).   However, I got a 2002 ZTW with ABS, 5 speed manual trans, and side air bags for about $17040.00. including destination. Color is Ft. Knox Gold.   On the positive side, the dealer called today and said the car was in. Last Tuesday, Ford said I wouldn't have it until the second week of December. Go figure. I should have it Monday evening.   PD
#54 of 613 16,000 miles and still happy by rev4 Nov 18, 2001 (7:45 pm)
I bought my wagon in Dec. 1999 and have 16,000 miles on it and have no complaints on this car. The recalls are really very minor.....and the car has so many good qualities: interior space is incredible, handling is sport like, alot of features, styling in and out, doors that shut with that quality "thud", great base stereo system. for the money....a great car.

#56 of 613 Our wagon has 5 mos and 7000 miles.... by kostema Dec 12, 2001 (8:18 pm)
No problems...yet...sooo...thus far...We are quite impressed with this wagon...   Great highway mileage now .. around 34 at 65-70mph...First 2500 miles only got about 25, though...   My wife and I both really enjoy driving the car...both in town and on the road...unusual...   easy entry/exit...   good radio/cd sound...   Lots of storage space...   In our opinion, the wagon is the best looking Focus..and the most practical.   Great steering, handling...you think you are moving slower than you actually are...tend to go over the speed limit...   Acceleration is OK; could be better...   The seats are firm and at first appeared to lack enough lower back support...However we found that the firmness makes them particularly comfortable on long drives...The seats/backs are firm enough that I take the wallet out of my back pocket on long trips...   Highway noise Wind noise: good Engine noise: good Road noise: OK, better if you close the luggage shade.

#58 of 613 Question to Focus Wagon owners. Focus sleeper? by jimjps Dec 16, 2001 (6:18 pm)
I've been looking at the Focus Wagon for sometime and agree it is the best looking Focus and maybe the best looking Ford and probably the most practical as well. It has to have the biggest cargo area of any small car. I measured the cargo area up to the back of the front seat with the front seat pushed all the way forward (man those seats move way forward!) and there is enough length for an adult o rtwo to sleep in (granted, emergency camping sleeping). Is there some way to get the floor flat so that sleeping in there would be practical? It appears the rear seat back doesn't fold down quite flat and then the seat bottom (flipped forward) is in the way. I suppose you could unbolt and remove the rear seats and rig a small platform for a camping trip but that does seem like a lot of effort. Anyone come up with a way to utilize this potential capability?
#59 of 613 SNOW CHAINS by rrramos2 Dec 19, 2001 (6:16 pm)
Do I really have to buy smaller tires to put chains on this car (2001 Focus Wagon). I think anyone who drives in the snow often is using studded tires. I'm in the LA area where it's dry in the valley and can be deep snow in the mountains a half hour away. RRR
#60 of 613 Rear Hatch problems by tipearso Dec 27, 2001 (9:47 pm)
Hi everyone, this is my first post. I've had my focus wagon since march of this year. I've already put 20k miles on it and am fairly pleased with it. But I have a reallly annoying problem that ford has so far been unable to fix:   Now that it's cold my rear hatch has stopped closing properly. I have to slam it incredibly hard to get it to close. So hard in fact that I altered an ongoing "rattle" that was coming from somewhere in the back of my car. The Ford dealership replaced that latch in the hatch and in doing so, failed to properly replace the rear trim above the liscense plate AND managed to dent the hatch as well by trying to close it!!! Naturally I didn't notice it until I left the dealer.... Anyway, they replaced the latch and it still won't close! I'm out of town so I haven't taken it back to them but have spoken to the service manager on the phone and he seemed generally concerned. We'll see.... Has anyone else had this problem with the rear door? Replies to this message: graves1 (Dec 12, 2005 9:35 am)
