So I'm in need of a "new to me" car. I found a good deal on a 2000 Focus ZX3, 5-speed. Car has been repaired from a minor collision. It looks great, I've driven it already. tracked perfect. I really liked how it drove, seems a lot smoother than the Contour was but nowhere NEAR the power.
I know there a bunch of you guys that have trader or also own a focus. Just want to hear about them. I've been looking around at focaljet, I hate going to new forums, so hard to find stuff. I know about the fuel pump issue. The first thing that I noticed was the shifter, I thought it was going to be just the Contour's, but it felt really rubbery. Is this normal?
Couple of things I didn't like about this particular one. It was VERY base model, only option looks like A/C(which needs to be fixed). No tilt steering. The wheel felt very far away.
Any thoughts would be good.
