2000 Ford Focus Reviews

My car is extremely efficient. Performance wise I haven't encountered any problems at all. The engine is in good shape and my battery has lasted longer than most cars. It runs very smoothly and overall it's a great car. The interior is nice and clean, the air conditioning and heating works well. I have heated seating for cold winters and the car includes Bluetooth radio. So I definitely recommend this car for both new drivers and new car searchers.

Overall engine runs good; however I've had to put far more work into it. Many recalls are on it that were not honored. Very comfortable and good air condition. Electrical problems. Ecu went out and dealership told me it wasn't the problem charged me $100 to tell me that. They didn't put everything back on and told me something else was wrong and estimated it to be $800 because the ecu would of only cost $130-50. The supposed issues only costed $176 and car didn't start towing fees and estimates plus it sat for long time only to find out 2 yrs later it was the ecu which in fact was on recall.

The car is old and has seen its fair share of travel. The car seems like something could go wrong at most times but I have had the car for 2 years and I have barely had to put money into the car. The only things that I had to replace are the battery, exhaust system, and minor parts but that is also due to the previous owner taking car of the car. It has been reliable for me during college and have never missed a college class due to a car problem. As I drive it does stall out when I come to a full stop but it always starts right back up. The car does have problems with acceleration to get on the highway and going up hills. The car is comfy in the front but the back is very compact if I were to have 4 people in the car. The car has the basic features that I need such as a radio, brights for night driving, and electric windows. All in all a car from 2000 is really holding up well almost 20 years later.

Car was bought used, good engine, motor and transmission. Over 200k miles and runs fine. Switch for fan stopped working, small fix that was under ten. Initial problems with cruise control that were not vital to the car operating. Had to fix wheel bearings on both sides, but it had a lot of miles on it and I am not particularly kind to my vehicles. Regular wear and tear on tires. I have heard that the Focuses can have issues with the driver side tires wearing faster, but I have never noticed. Great gas mileage.

I have a blue Ford Focus. I bought it used not too long ago so I am still trying to figure out all the ins and outs of the vehicle. So far though it has been really good. It drives really smooth for the most part. The only real downside to it is that the steering wheel has a small dead spot in it that has taken some getting used to but other than that it is not too bad. I guess the other thing I should mention about it is that it is gas mileage is not the best, but it gets above 20 miles to the gallon. In my opinion any car that gets 20+ miles per gallon is good in my book.

My vehicle is a cute little red Ford Focus that suits my personality. However, it is getting very old and falling apart, as cars do. I like that it is small, has better mileage than any other car I've owned, and I own it so I don't have to make payments on it. I don't like how things randomly break. Just recently, the air controls broke and now I can only use it on defrost mode. Then, the heat shield was loose because the bolt just rusted out of it.

My car is 18 years old, since I bought it at 16,I have driven it over 100 miles, however, my car has had several electrical issues, and I have had to put over 6k into repairs, it isn't the most reliable car, even when I first bought it with 70k miles, it broke down often, I actually had to buy towing insurance because I had it towed so often. The pain is now peeling off of my car, the sunroof no longer works and the seals are peeling off. I have had to replace the alternator 3 times, replace the steering wheel, timing belt twice, the sensor board, and all four windows 2 times. There is a lot of head space in the car, the seats are leather which makes it easy to clean. I am 4'11 and the car allows me to pump up the seat so it's easy to see over the dash. The arm rest breaks easily. This car is crazy good on gas though. I used to be able to drive it really far on one tank of gas. The AC in the car has had problems for the last 6 years, no matter how many times we get it fixed. I'm pretty sure the transmission is failing at this point because it slams when I drive and shifts gears on its own.

My Focus has made cross country trips, been thru hurricane evacuations and many other less dramatic events. It's a little loud, but gets decent gas mileage and with regular maintenance it has been a wonderful car. I chose it because it was the right fit for my small family and was affordable. My Focus is from the very first model year for Focus and it is still running and getting me where I need to go. We feel perfectly safe in it and it is easy to drive.

My car is a Ford Focus. It's a 2000 and it runs pretty great. The idle once jumped to a higher level but after the mechanic cleaned the idle air intake valve it easily returned to its normal performance. The body style saw no drastic change from then until now which gives the car a new car appearance and the interior is the same in that it is clean in simplicity from it's build with sturdy stock parts. This gives the interior the same new effect in appearance. This car is dependable and gets me where I need to go without any mechanical problem so far. It also gets pretty good mileage, I believe around 28 miles to the gallon. A full tank lasts a good while and the daily errands I have to run are not an added expense for me at all. Overall, I like the car. It's simple and clean, runs dependably and is great on gas. I don't need much more than that.

I bought my focus in 2000. It was the first year the focus was released. This car has been a reliable vehicle for all these years. I have only had to give it the maintenance required. When I bought this vehicle I lived in maui, hi. So, of course, there were not a lot of miles put on it. Since I have moved to tahuya, wa we are able to take longer trips. At that, there are still only 86,000 miles on it. The mechanic who did the brake job recently was impressed with the condition both inside and out. I love my focus.

Our 2000 Ford focus drives excellent. It is fast, stable and easy to handle. It is comfortable to drive and relaxing to be a passenger. With a smooth ride like this, it is easy to fall asleep for passengers. The few things that have been an issue is the steering wheel is not adjustable and it does not have power windows or locks. But, another great feature is the seat belt strap. It has an adjustment by the door to slide up if you are tall or slide down if you are shorter. I love this feature. The 2000 Ford focus is a very reliable and economical vehicle.

This make and model of car is pretty reliable. This is the second one my family is owned, and while it does have some more issues than the first one did, I think that can be attributed to poor car maintenance done by the previous owners. The first Taurus we had made it to 300,000 miles before finally giving out! This one is about halfway there, but I fully expect it to last about as long as the other one did. We've had no major problems with it so far, just some minor concerns here and there. It's decent on gas and power - definitely good enough for a sedan. My only complaint would be is that it's a little small; I'm 6 ft so it feels a little cramped at times.
