2000 Ford Focus
Three-door hatchbacks in base-model stripper trim have in the past often been used to used to low-ball buyers into the showroom only to be switched into larger, more expensive and more profitable models. Ford has instead positioned its Focus hatchback as a sports model and named it the ZX3.

With its impish headlamps and trim back end, the Ford Focus hatchback has always seemed sprightly and surprising. When it was launched, in 1998, it made the VW Golf look lardy. Worse than that, it made it look lardy and expensive.

The new Focus hatchback looks handsome on the road, and people stare as it zooms its way. Drivers will like the ambience of this hatchback as the European-inspired interior layout greets them once they enter the car. The headlight rotary switch is located at the left side of the steering wheel while the volume control is below the turn lamp switch. The integrated 2-DIN, six-disc audio system is neatly placed in the middle and produces above average sound quality that makes you feel poised while driving. It has dual-zone climate control so that passengers can also select their preferred temperature. Drivers will be delighted with the six-way power seat with lumbar support that aids in achieving a comfortable driving position. The rear design of the new Focus hatchback resembles the Fiat Punto hatchback because of the long, vertical slanted tail light design that is positioned near the roof while the Halogen head lights have black inner finish to give that athletic striking look. Driving the Focus hatchback is something to look forward to. Steering is firm but very sharp and peppy especially on corners, while the engine is receptive and the low-voiced roar of the engine is music to the ear.

First, the obvious: with a closely-bobbed tail and a steeply-raked rear window, the Focus hatchback in profile evokes a feline ready to pounce forward and agreeably primes your neurons via your retinas about this car's mission. No one will be accusing this car of looking like a hearse. The pillar-mounted taillights and the blank hind corners are distinctive, and the Focus retains its taut and tasteful continental styling. Airy 16-inch five-spoke rims are a gargantuan step up the sporty ladder from the sedan's saucers, as are the blacked-out headlight housings.
