I am looking into buying a 2002 Ford Focus.
Is this a good buy? I am looking for a good economic car that is inexpensive and that will last me the next couple of years.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

I bought a brand new Ford Focus '02 back in '02 and it was the worst car I ever owned. It had to be in the shop 18 times in the first year for major mechanical problems. I loved everything about the car except the mechanical aspects.

It depends on the price. I own a 2000 Focus and while I wouldn't recommend paying too much for one, it's been a quite dependable car for me. My wife and I have put over 30,000 miles on it, and the only mechanical problem it's had was a parking brake handle button that got stuck in the handle. Other than that, it's just needed basic maintenance.

No, American cars are not so fuel efficient and I forgot to add, it's not so reliable. It doesn't last too long. That's why they're not making that much money. Look at GMC, they're losing big time.
Try Japanese cars like Hundai (sp?) Toyota, Acura, Nissan (definately this one's good!) etc.
I think best buy is the Nissan Sentra. You'd like it, it's compact tho. Or if you're looking for midsize, try the Nissan Altima. Those are too good to be true!

If you want it to last the next couple of years, dont buy a Ford, especially a focus. Theyre cheap (quality wise) and crappy. Get a Cavalier, Sunfire, etc.

I bought a '97 Focus a couple of months ago & I really like it. Runs great, no probs & is good on gas. I checked them out & they don't seem to have too many problems before 125,000 miles...good luck!
