Ford Focus ZETEC 1.6 MANUAL 2002

5 star review

I love my car to bits. It’s great to drive and only has 55k on the clock which is genuine and it’s like having a newer car. My sister has a 1.4 2007 reg with 53k and paid £7000 I paid £2,500 when it was only 44k so I think it was a steal. The only issue I have is my nearside rear bearing; I had the bearings and drum changed 10months ago and now the whirly noice has returned and another garage have said it’s another £200 for the bearings to be replaced again. I must say I’m a bit disappointed at that and I hope this isn’t going to be a yearly issue as my others are fine?! I find that odd. But regardless of that it’s a great family car and I plan on keeping it for many years.

Ford Focus Ghia 2.0L 2002

4 star review

I bought my 2002 Ford Focus 2.0 litre Ghia in 2004 for £8000 second hand from a Ford Dealer. The handling was and still is, brilliant. The ride is great. The escalation is average for a 2.0 litre engine. Body work has only minor scratches through normal wear and tear so still looks good. Same for the interior - still looks good. Some things have not lasted of course. Front tyres wear out pretty quickly but that is mainly due to my driving - well since the handling is so good you just have to push it through the corners dont you?!?! So what else has been replaced?....well the sump was replaced in 2009 due to rust - should have been done before that but I had no money. The wheel bearings and rear suspension link arm bushes were worn in 2009 so replaced for £600. Headlights and reverse lights were replaced once in its life. Break discs and pads as per any other car were replaced a couple of times (again more to do with my driving :-) ) Other than that there has been little or no problems with this car. It’s the car that keeps on giving. Long live the Ford Focus. Mine did. However today I have sold my Ford Focus after 8 years of its life with me for £2500 as part exchange. I thought it was worth more. On Wednesday I get my new car which is not a Focus but a Golf. I will be sad to see that Focus go. Wonderful car. In 2011 the new Focus comes out and I hope I need a second car at that point in time so I can buy another Focus again.

Ford Focus 1.8 TDCI 2002

2 star review

Bought the 1.8 TDCI with 72k on the clock and have had nothing but truble the aircon failed and now the dual mass flywheel clutch is rattling and banging away; lucky the job isnt beyond my own capabilitys as the cheapest clutch kit I found is £360. I think Ford need to do something about this problem, I have had diesel cars now for around 20 years and never had problems like this before, DMFs suck big time. It wouldn’t be so bad if they were cheaper to buy, Ford wanted £1200 to do the clutch; that is so silly as I only paid £1800 for the car. The seats are hard and uncomfortable, the engine is very fast it’s the 115hp one I have. The car itsself feels like it’s made out of tin foil, dents very easily, paint marks very easily. I was expecting more as I’ve been thinking about getting one of these for a long time and now I wish I had just held on to my Citroen Picasso 2.0HDI that I had for two years and never had to do a thing to it, other than tyres and front springs but that’s it. If you want a good car that won’t brake down and cost an arm and a leg don’t buy a Focus get a Picasso.

Ford Focus Silver 2002

3 star review

Brammer car, I have had no problems with this car so far. I am hoping that it keeps me on the road for a few more years as well; I am sure it will, not been let down by FORD before.

Ford Focus 1.6 Ghia 2002

4 star review

I have had this car for 5 years with no problems. Have it serviced regularly and I do a lot of miles each year. A problem has arisen after driving on pot holes left by frost. My speedometer has stopped working and the volume on the radio is rising and dropping at will at the same time. This can be quite alarming as I am not too sure of exactly what speed I am doing at any given time. The mileage clock does not register the miles I do when the speedometer is at zero. What can the problem be? I have been told I could be needing a sensor, a coil pack or an air coolant thingy?! Any ideas Please?!
