2003 Ford Focus wagon

The Herald News – Joliet (IL) April 18, 2003 | Ken Chester, Jr.

Bringing more refinement and features to the market for 2003, the compact Ford Focus wagon continues to prove its relevance in a truck- crazy marketplace. Style and comfort meets function and economy in a tastefully modern package. Designed to appeal to a sophisticated buyer, the Focus wagon is the lone domestic choice in its market segment.

A wagon that shares many positive attributes with its upscale neighbors, the Focus retains desirable utilitarian qualities required in the daily dispatch of kids, groceries and the assorted mundane errands.

Built at the automaker’s Wayne, Mich., manufacturing complex, the Ford Focus wagon is available in mild SE or spicy ZTW trim levels. It is possible to dress up the ZTW Ford wagon with such optional goodies as leather seating, a six- disc in-dash CD player, heated front seats and side view mirrors, power moonroof AdvanceTrac electronic stability system and Sport Group. website 2003 ford focus

It includes P205/50R16 tires, aluminum wheels, fog lamps, tachometer, rear cargo area cover, driver’s seat lumbar support and leather- wrapped steering wheel.

The Focus is powered by a 2.0-liter DOHC Zetec four-cylinder engine bolted to a four-speed electronic automatic transaxle with overdrive lockout. In a strange twist, opting for a five-speed manual gearbox will earn a credit of $815.

On the road, the wagon delivers a flawless performance, smooth, quiet and agile through hill, dale and winding two-lane roads. This is accomplished by independent MacPherson struts with angled coil springs/damper units and lower A- arms mounted on a separate subframe in the front and a Control Blade Multi-link system with one upper and two lower arms plus an additional twist-plate longitudinal link with separate vertical damper units.

Front and rear anti-roll bars work with the beefy Goodyear Eagle RS-A P195/60R15 inch tires to deliver a command performance in handling and control.

Inside the cabin, the Focus is well suited to seating five adults in relative comfort. World class displays and controls greet the driver. Intuitive and logically placed, the controls are easy to use, increasing safety through reduced driver workload and distractions. go to website 2003 ford focus

Convenience features, such as a manual-height seat adjust and optional tilt and telescopic steering wheel, make the interior a very friendly place for all people, regardless of weight, shape or stature. The audio system has great speakers and wonderful radio reception.

Storage spaces are plentiful throughout the cabin for stowing one’s stuff, including a good size glove box. Rear seating is comfortable and versatile. The cushion pulls out and flips forward, allowing the 60/40 split seat back to fold flat with the cargo floor. This complements the unique design of the rear suspension resulting in a low, flat and wide cargo floor from the rear bumper forward for easy loading.

Ratings & specs Wheelbase: 103.0; overall length: 178.2; width: 67.0; height: 56.9 (measurements in inches).

Engine: 2.0-liter Zetec four-cylinder, with 130 hp at 5,300 rpm and 135 lb-ft. of torque at 4,500 rpm.

Transmissions: five-speed manual, four-speed automatic.

EPA fuel economy: 25 city/34 highway (manual); 26 city/32 highway (automatic) using regular unleaded gasoline.
