I bought my 2002 Ford Focus stationwagon 9 months ago with 180,000km for 1400 CAD. It has the 2.0 Zetec engine and the 5 speed manual transmission mated to it. Currently sitting at 215,000km and it is still running strong. Comfort-wise it's great. I made a 11 hour drive in one day and was not even sore, the amount of headroom, especially in the wagon, is great aswell. Interior design, is alright, it's quirky. Lots of curves, definetly shows its age but everything works great and is easy to operate. Performance wise, its alright. Definetly not a race car by any means, but it is fast enough. The value for money on one of these used is amazing - if you are somewhat mechanically inclined and can do basic repairs and maintenence. Exterior styling is good, its a very interesting looking car. Since I got it 35,000km ago heres what I've done for repairs: Valve cover gasket, motor mounts, hatch struts. I've done a ton of maintenence, all the reccomended stuff for this mileage, but those are the only things I've had to repair. It is currently leaking a bit of oil but on a 1400$ car it doesn't really bother me, doesnt even leak enough to get even halfway down the dipstick between oil changes. It hasn't ever left me stranded.

Bought it on 2004, have had the best luck with her... as an artist driving to art fairs near and far...i haul ALOT and can fit so much in it ..it is unbelievable .. No One can believe it... she is now 125,000 miles and still amazing... power window are wonky and things are going as to be expected.. but she is loved.. also i have quite a lead foot and she can zoom like nobodies business...

I have owned this car for a year, I bought this car in December of 2018, I haven’t had any issues until December of 2019. I had a vacuum leak. I got the parts from ford and I am back on the road. Overall it’s a good car and I love it. 5 Speed manual gang.
