Sorry, probably too late for the camping trip, but better late than never!
 
I loaded my new sofa and loveseat into and on top of my wagon with ease. I had my little brothers Isuzu SUV and we could not fit it into the small opening on it and I decided to just use my wagon. The salesman and helpers thought I was crazy while purchasing/loading it, but as they saw me drive off they thought I was a "Genius". I also recently gave away an old sofa to a friend with a newer Taurus wagon, which had a much smaller opening in the rear but more space inside above, and probably fore and aft, of the couch than my wagon. We had a very hard time fitting the pieces of the couch into his car.
 
I find it odd nobody mentions the numerous outstanding little features of the Fords. Like the fact that most are much easier to maintain/repair than foreign and even other domestics. For example the serpentine belt on all my Fords has been simple to replace on my own. Other makes I can not say the same thing about. I also love the steering effort on my wagon since all Focii only have to turn the steering wheel about 1/2 the amount of all other vehicles. And I could go on and on. And the I also have yet to drive another make of vehicle which feels as nice, and perfect, to me
 
I Love my '05 ZXW SES 35,000mi.

I have a 2003 ZTW wagon and had the exact same problem. It shut off for the first time last night and I can't get it to turn on and stay on without it happening again. I'm afraid to drive it for fear of being stranded. Did you ever get it fixed/ find out what the problem was?

#603 of 637 wacky focus wagon spotted by geronimo1

Jun 26, 2008 (5:09 pm)

on rte 93 south of Boston early evening-
behind blue Focus wagon, in right lane, 20mph, go to pass, he speeds up to 60 (????)
Couple of times. Decided he was a fruitcake. For laughs, ( as I was taking next exit), blew his doors and ears off and took my exit.
 Since when can a Focus wagon take a supercharged Lightining? Yuk Yuk Yuk

It can take one all day and twice on Sunday at the gas pump.
 
Keep sending that gas money to the middle east.

#605 of 637 2001 wagon repairs to brakes and bearings by canadamo

Dec 03, 2008 (10:55 pm)

there's a major problem with the rear brakes - apparently the hand brake cable is seized in the rear brakes and this has influence on the bearings? Has anyone had any such experience? This will be quite expensive to fix but according to mecanic car can't be driven without repairing. My problem is that I want to change/buy a newer car and this is happening at a very bad time. Car is 2001, has been great up to now and has 232000kms so its time I feel to get something else. Anyone else has kept a 2001 wagon longer?
thanks
Canadamo

I have a 2003 ZTW. Intermittant operation of hatch release button on the dash is a very common problem with the Focus. Sometimes mine works, sometimes it doesn't. If it doesn't, I just press the hatch release on my key fob.
