Zippy, No real need for the personal attacks. Remember, we are talking about an automobile here. Let's try and be adults. Regards, Mark.

No personal attacks meant. Simply pointing out what I believed to be pretty obvious discrepancies. I asked what I thought to be pretty pertinent questions.
#12 of 1997 review envy by tallguy2 Nov 26, 2000 (8:33 pm)
I suspect that Protege owners lurk around here because they own a car that is an upstaged media darling. I'm a big guy and the Focus is as small and light as I want to go. So comparisons with the Protege are irrelevant. My 2001 ZTS has zero defects so far(1000mi). I continue to be more impressed. I keep expecting to find cheapness and shortcuts considering all the stuff that the car comes with and the price. But so far have found none. The best feature of the car is that it has the ride quality of a bigger car until the road gets twisty then it feels like a sports car. Ford really got the suspension right. I have a maintenance question also. Ford recommends 5-20 weight engine oil. I have never seen this oil in stores. Does anybody have any comments on this?
#13 of 1997 Head rests by cnollkamper Nov 27, 2000 (8:06 pm)
I also was a little put off by the headrests, but i put them a little higher (one click up) and it seems to be better...try it.
#14 of 1997 OH yeah by cnollkamper Nov 27, 2000 (8:32 pm)
I forgot to mention my Zts is defect free 6900 miles now, since June 20. Only complaint has been a squeel from the brakes in the cold, only in the morning after start up. that is it....
#15 of 1997 About squeaky brakes... by haumang Nov 27, 2000 (8:46 pm)
When I went in for wheel recall, the mechanic explained my squeaky brakes as the result of moisture between the brake pad (supposedly a side effect since they can no longer use asbestos) and the front disc. He said there is nothing to worry about. And I just passed 8000 miles this weekend and not a single problem. And NYC driving isn't exactly easy on a car... peace
#16 of 1997 Question about the recalls by diana13 Nov 28, 2000 (7:46 pm)
I have been waiting to receive my recall notice in the mail. I have not gotten it yet. I was wondering if I can bring it to my dealer and have them fixed before I get a notice??? Thanks for any help
#17 of 1997 diana13: Recalls by haumang Nov 28, 2000 (9:35 pm)
From, you can definitlely take it in before/ without getting the notices. In fact, I did just that. When I made my appointment, they just asked me what I was coming in for, so I mentioned the recalls. Hope that helps...
#18 of 1997 Ooops, that should be... by haumang Nov 28, 2000 (9:36 pm)
I meant to write: "From my experience, you can definitely..."
#19 of 1997 Recall notice by cnollkamper Nov 28, 2000 (11:38 pm)
I did not get any recall notice either, but I took mine in for the 5k service and requested the recalls to be performed. But you can definately take it in anytime, call and make an appointment.
