2005 Ford Focus ZX5, AKA my little "4-cylinder putt-putt," and "my favorite money pit."
It's pretty much Ford's subtle attempt to copy the look of the Chrysler PT cruiser, if not the performance.
I've put 120,000 miles on it so far. The original transmission gave out right before the warranty was set to expire, so I dodged a financial bullet to have it replaced.
Other replacements made:
- Front driver- and passenger-side manual window roller-upper handles (both broke right off within a couple months of each other)
- At least three sets of brakes
- God knows how many sets of tires
- Front driver-and passenger-side seats
- Ignition assembly
A couple months ago I broke my key off in the trunk lock; the piece that broke off is still stuck in there. Fortunately, my dash has a trunk-release button, so it's just a minor inconvenience. But what really sucked was that it was one of those chip keys that cost me $70 to have made.
BTW if you think I've put this car through the wringer, you might be shocked to know that what it's gone though is nothing compared to previous autos I've driven.
