Hi all,I bought this focus for my daily driver and I've had it for a few years. It's been a great car but recently has had a few problems. I don't have the space to work on it anymore so my lose your gain.PROS:Coil over suspensionHid lightsSolid bodyNo or minimal rustRuns smooth with no oil burningRuns and drives smoothNew Passengers ball joint, wheel hub, and wheel bearingNew drive axles with less than 100 miles CONS:Theres an odd sound at startup - Mechanic said it could be one of the pulleys going bad. There is also a humming when driving - Mechanic also told me this could be a wheel bearing. I had the passengers side replaced with the hub so it could be the driver side.Small body dents and some small imperfections on the bumpersI bought the car with a dent in the back. I'm not sure what happened but it is bad enough that the hatch doesn't fully seal. The latch will lock closed and it didn't bother me for the couple years I've had it but you may want to look at it.Drivers heated seat no longer worksCould use new tiresCD player does work but radio doesMight need a new key tumbler - the key is difficult to turn sometimes. I've researched this and it seems to be a common problem for focus.I may be forgetting some things so if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
