@lesterclaypool1 I can imagine. Although the Escort (based on the Australian Ford Laser) was a good car – the worst part of it was the CVH engine.
Driving dynamics, model for model in the 1990s, were probably better with the North American model versus the European model.

They dropped the Escort badge from the ZX2 for a good reason, runforit420.

They ended up putting a pretty sweet little turbo in those Onirisons, although I’m pretty sure it was the Omni model.

The best part of …
The best part of the current Focus is the Ford SYNC system. That’s about it. I’m sure Ford sells the Focus on the SYNC system alone now.

@GunsOfThePhoenix well not exactly. The 2002-2004 models were probably the best that closely emulated reliability and driving dynamics of the European models.
By 2005 Ford of North America did something to the suspension and ruined it.

Are you sure? Im fairly certain the focus was a reliable car, and the fact its a ford means spare parts arent a dime a dozen.

Well, I know too a lot of people who thinks that 1999-2004 Focus is ugly. But I don’t care. I think it’s the best car ever made.

i know!! haha, its the only american car that they actually really love. and we americans, ages 16 – 25 think it looks totally gay. (unless you have about 5 grand to put in it to make it sporty.) i love it myself.. only if i had the money for upgrades. and WHY OH WHY did they not produce the RS in america???? god i love that one.

Where have you been the last 10 years? Ford has a realy good reputation and there is a reason for that…. they make realy good cars.
Don’t go about Fords like the Escort or Scorpio. Ever had an Opel/Vauxhall Omega?

I think that no other car got so many good word in Top Gear like Ford Focus 1999-2004.
