Pros: What do you like about 2005 Ford Focus?
Nice to look at, Drives really nice,
Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford Focus?
Engine vibrations in Park Neutral Reverse Ideling or while driving. Vibrating sounds are very loud!!!! Shakes my windows and my side mirrors. Only have 50,000 miles on it. It is very very annoying!!!!! Dealerships tell me I need new Motor mounts. Why do I need then starting at 40,000 miles. Runs good, except for the whole lot of shaking going on!!!
2005 Ford Focus Review:
Fix the problems presented to you. The consumers expect to buy a car that runs, not one that vibrates. Thank you

When starting it up it makes a very annoying loud noise, I had it in to be looked at and was told that gears were a little rusted from not driving it enough I drive my car everyday. Maybe its the brakes or engine noise.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Ford Focus?
hitting the curves, the stereo system, the extra kick on the highway, trunk space, the tint.
Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford Focus?
build a whole new brake system for the FOCUS line, after 1 year the brakes should not squeak excessively, and after two years of fixing the breaks, your steering column shouldn't start to vibrate when going over 60 miles an hour. Other than that, its a great car! :)
2005 Ford Focus Review:
it start out great. After 4 months, the brakes squeak a little, after 12 months they squeak excessively. If Ford would have taken the extra time in building a qualified braking system for the Ford Focus line, they never would have had the problems with the Braking systems starting in 2000. Now the problem continues up to the 2005 editions. After 12 months, the warranty for the brakes expire. Do not get me wrong, the Ford Focus is a great car to have with the exceptions noted above. Thank you for your time.
