Hi everyone --
New Focus owner here ...
I bought a Focus because of two positive experiences using it as a rental

    I recall seeing something a long time back about a stumble or
hesitation when accelerating  at low to medium throttle. I have a 2003
ZTW and have had this problem since it was new. Of course the dealer
could find nothing wrong and said everything was fine when I took it

I heard on the news prices are up to 2 dollars a gallon, that must be
frustrating. How do you guys cope? No more supersize me at McD? ;-)

I own ZX3 2003 US model. When I turn on the fan, it seems that the
air conditioner is also turned on (although the air conditioner
switch's light is still off). Is this what it should be? Has anyone
had the same problem? In summer, I would turn on the air conditioner

I have a European Focus 1.4 LX , 1 year 6 months old. I parked the car as
usual in the garage after a 15minutes drive from work and noticed water on
the passenger side. This is obviously not rain water from the pollen filter
because our temp. in Malta is 35 degrees celsius, no rain ...

My partner was driving her car with the AC and blower working fine.  She
turned off the car, got out, went in a store, came out and the blower and
AC would not turn back on.
I checked all the fuses in the fuse box and fuses and relays in the power

I have low profile tires on 16 inch wheels on my ZX5 and they've been a huge
headache. Because of the outrageous pothole problem around the George
Washington Bridge I have blown 6 tires and had to replace three aluminum
wheels.

I have just got a Focus TdCI zetec, and am quite pleased with it, apart from
maybe the wheels, and the speakers. :
1)    Will it handle better with 17" wheels on (has 15 on at mo)
2)    What speakers are good - don't want to mess around with the dash, so

Started smelling antifreeze on the way home last night.  Sure enough,
approaching a hill, noticed the temp. gauge rising fast near the red zone.
Got home, but noticed the next morning that the resovoir was well below
the cold fill line.  No fluid was even dectectable.  Just had an ...
