Detailed review: |
I bought my 2005 ZX-5 SE in late August and to date I have driven it 10,200 miles. I was drawn to the updated styling of the 2005 over the 2004. The interior is very pleasing and the car is enormously practical. The high seating position offers an excellent view of the road and the ride and handling are excellent. On the down side, I am only averaging 27 mile per gallon, which is below the EPA estimate. Also, the sun-visors are cheap and ineffective and the CD player tends to skip when playing a book-on-CD. Overall all, I am very happy with my Focus and I would highly recommend one to others. |
