I own a 2001 Ford Focus. This car has been over 100,000 miles, and is still running. Sure it has had it's share of problems. It had to get a new transmission, the air conditioning quit for a short time, and the wipers have never had the speed I wanted. But, overall, I love my car. This car has a tremendous amount of mileage, but still runs great. The interior has held up well, as has the body. This car does not look like a 2001. Many parts of it are original, and they don't look their age. This car is in great shape, and I am hoping it will run for many more miles, I am sure not planning on giving it up. I bought it second hand in 2007, and it has not had any major problems except the transmission, which I mentioned earlier. It has not had to ferry kids, but it has ferried plenty of do... (more)
Story
I was coming back from the company's Christmas Party. I worked an hour north of where I lived, and it was somewhat late at night.

Pros

2001 Ford Focus - It's a decent A-B vehicle.

I bought it non running. It was easy to fix. It is prone to vacuum leaks. Lots of parts are available. Good build quality. Good gas mileage. As long as you keep up with the maintenance it will keep going. Its been a fun vehicle and I have been using it daily. I drive it from Arizona to California every other month. Its also very easy to modify if you are into that kind of thing. I am. I was also able to build my YouTube channel off of it. If you are looking for a cheap reliable vehicle that is sporty, this is the car. With how the suspension is designed, it handles very well. It has well balanced horsepower and torque. It uses 6x8 inch speakers for the audio which helps it a lot. If you are into the hatchbacks, get a zx3. Its an amazing car and I enjoy it since I am building it into wh... (more)

Pros
Easy to work on. Fun to drive. Its a hatchback. I build it, race it and it keeps running as a daily driver.
Cons
Lots of vacuum leaks. Can overheat due to poor electrical set up or parts from cooling system failing.
