Here's what Edmunds.com has to say on the 2005 Ford Focus, for example: "Spacious and comfortable interior, fun-to-drive character, sharp steering, smooth ride ... Unlike many compact cars, it doesn't seem cheap behind the wheel as there's plenty of road feel through its sharp steering and tight suspension. The standard four-cylinder engine feels more powerful than its numbers would suggest -- a trait that makes the Focus a great car for stop-and-go city driving. The three-door ZX3 is a sporty, fun-to-drive hatchback that has more room than you might expect."

Focus ZX3 At Wholesale Prices!"

We have to agree with Edmunds.com. We've been very impressed with the ZX3's we've gotten in here ... and there's been quite a few. The driving feel and performance is surprisingly good for a car in this price range. While we like both the automatics and the 5-speed manuals, we have to admit the 5-speed is even more fun fun to drive. You may want to take a look at this 2005 Ford Focus ZX3 SES we had here (and the price as well). And here's a 2003 ZX3 we also had. There's also a few pictures of some others below.

And while these are examples of cars sold in the past, and prices would obviously be lower now, I think they'll provide you with an idea of the savings involved ... as well as indicate the quality and condition of the kind of vehicles we restrict ourselves to.

And for those of you who are also considering the Focus Z5, here's a 2005 Ford Focus Z5 that was recently here. And here's 2004 Focus Z5.
