The Ford Focus continues to be one of the most enjoyable cars in its price range. It's fun to drive, with brisk acceleration performance and agile handling. It's versatile, with hatchback models with flip-down seats that quickly prepare it for large amounts of cargo. It's comfortable on long trips and stable at high speeds.

Ford's New Edge styling has helped the Focus stand out from the crowd. It comes in a wide variety of body styles to meet many different needs and lifestyles.

Refinement comes in the form of new interior fabrics along with changes to interior and exterior trim, in comparison to earlier models.New options include heated seats, a new traction control and anti-lock brake system (ABS) package. The ZX5 five-door hatchback is now available in three trim levels.

The 170-horsepower SVT versions offer thrilling acceleration performance, sporty handling, and excellent brakes, yet give up nothing in terms of practicality. For 2003, SVT versions are available in three-door and five-door hatchback styles. (had to do a bit of reasearch to find that out!!!)

2003 Model Ford Focus

Ford Focus comes in four distinct body styles: three-door hatchback, five-door hatchback, four-door, and five-door wagon. All offer similar driving characteristics.

Three engines are available. All are 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines. The 110-hp 2.0-liter engine with a single overhead-cam and two valves per cylinder is standard on Focus LX and SE models. It's mated to a five-speed manual transaxle.


New options for the 2003 models include heated seats, heated mirrors, an MP3 audio system, a perimeter alarm system, and traction control.

AdvanceTrac is an optional system for the Focus that can help you keep the car on the road in an emergency handling situation. The system monitors the car's behavior while cornering, checking the steering angle, lateral acceleration and yaw rate. If it senses you're in trouble it reduces power and selectively applies to brakes to individual wheels to keep the vehicle on course. AdvanceTrac uses the ABS and traction control system to help it accomplish this. The system intervenes progressively so that the drier is hardly aware that it has been activated. AdvanceTrac may be turned off by pressing a button on the instrument panel, but comes back on whenever the vehicle is started.

I am yet to sample the delighs that the all new Focus has to offer,but if ti lives up to its sire, it shouldn't gofar wrong
