Upon its debut in 2000, the Ford Focus made a name for itself among economy cars with its superior chassis tuning, which provides a much better than expected driving experience, and its rather tall body, which creates a roomy interior. Five years later, these key character traits remain, although competition has diminished the advantage. For the 2005 model year, the Focus received a minor styling makeover, inside and out, giving it a slightly more subdued, mature look. While the car's styling was simplified, its nomenclature became more confusing. ZX3, ZX4, ZX5, and ZXW refer to the Focus's four body styles–two-door hatchback, four-door sedan, four-door hatch, and station wagon, respectively. S, SE, SES, and ST denote progressive trim levels.
Despite the recent tweaks, which softened the creases in the sheetmetal and gave the lights a less severe look, the Focus design has stayed true to its original, Euro-styled form. The two- and four-door hatchbacks have an abruptly ending rear section that encloses a lot of cargo space in a small overall package. Either one would be a particularly advantageous choice for on-street parkers, people with a small garage, or anyone else for whom parking space is at a premium. Buyers who want a more traditional design likely will gravitate toward the conventionally shaped sedan or the station wagon–a rare body style among small cars.
The Focus interior is similar to that of most other Fords today: There are lots of straight lines and flat surfaces and a Volkswagen -inspired execution overall. The materials, however, generally fall considerably short of those used by VW. Leather upholstery is available for those looking to splurge, and the ST even offers a neat leather-and-suede two-tone seating option. Unfortunately, the seats under that fancy material are still too soft to offer real support on long trips. In all models, the high seating position makes the view from inside the Focus surprisingly good. The back seat is a hospitable place to stash two adults, something that cannot be said of competitors such as the Chevy Cobalt or Saturn Ion.
Focus buyers will get one of two engines, depending on the trim level. Most models use a 2.0-liter/136-horse four, sourced from Mazda. It's well mannered, but not a rip-snorting performer. Cars sold in California, New York, Vermont, and Massachusetts, however, have a standard extra-low-emissions 2.0-liter engine, earning them the Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle rating. The other available powerplant is an enthusiastic 2.3-liter four, another Mazda engine, which packs 151 horsepower. It's found under the hood of the top-of-the-line ST only. The base engine can be combined with a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual, the latter offering quicker acceleration and better fuel economy. The 2.3-liter powerplant comes only with the five-speed manual. Fuel economy for both engines is not as good as that of the thriftiest small cars.
