2004 Ford Focus....yuck.
So here's the face lift for the 2005 Ford Focus going on sale in spring of 2004. Beyond front and rear fascia upgrades some interior retweaking there will be 3 new engine choices.
A 136-hp 2.0L I4 replaces the current 110-hp and 130-hp engines. A reworked version of the 136-hp 2.0L I4 will also be used in certain states as a PZEV vehicle. A 150-hp 2.3L I4 will be placed in the ST model. The ST model includes steering components and chassis parts from the European ST Focus. Enjoy the laugh. |

I don't like what they did to it especially with the interior. Very bland and Taurus-like. The front is no longer unique and the rear looks like a Civic.

A little note on the PZEV...Massachusetts had it in this past year's models. It was actually the 2.3L I4 that will be in the MZ3 and was in the 6. My friend had that focus...couldn't find any hop-ups for it at all! I drove it, and the power delivery is very nice.
Man this new version looks like a rental car...meet the new Neon! ICK!

It looks like a friggin' Taurus! I never liked the Focus but at least it used to look unique and somwhat sporty, this new look sucks pretty bad.

I think you're probably right about last year's PZEV being the 2.3, but the information I read (from the very reliable Automotive News) said it would be the 2.0L. Oh well, not a big deal, it's not like any of us will be buying one!
PZEV is so cool, and cheap, I don't understand why more cars don't have it. Ford also said the the new styling is supposed to reflect that of the new Five Hundred |

Pretty much agree with everyone on the board... I've always wondered why the hell Ford puts the antannae on the front of the car. I was in someone's focus once and the thing totally blocked his sunroof. I was like... uhh... is that your antanaee???
