2003 Ford Focus
The Ford Focus is the world's best-selling small car. That was no misprint
- the most popular small car in the entire world, and it has this distinction
for a number of reasons. The 2003 Ford Focus is affordable, comfortable
and safe, and it has the perfect blend of handling and power. With an
almost exorbitant number of different configurations, the Focus offers
a style fit for anyone in the market for a five-passenger vehicle.
Available Models
The 2003 Ford Focus is available in four distinct body styles: three-door
hatchback, four-door sedan, four-door wagon and the five-door hatchback.
There are different trim levels for each of the body types, starting with
the LX model on four-door sedans and moving all the way up to the sporty
SVT model for hatchbacks.
Interior Features
The 2003 Ford Focus is given two new contemporary fabrics, and, on high-series
vehicles, a silver instrument cluster. A woven seat material is aimed
at younger buyers, while the textured velour fabric offers a more upscale
ambiance. The LX comes with a theft-deterrent system, rear defog and driver-side
height adjustment. The LX Premium adds air conditioning, while a ZX3 model
for hatchbacks offers a leather-wrapped steering wheel, AM/FM/CD player
and tachometer. The top-line SVT provides a mixed cloth/leather upholstery,
heated mirrors and power seat adjustment. And that is just naming a few
of the features on a couple of 2003 Ford Focus models.
Options are as plentiful as the model selection. They can be added as
packages or in individual installments. Some of the items include a Cold
Weather Package, traction control and antilock brakes.
Exterior Features
Light Tundra Clearcoat Metallic and Arizona Beige Clearcoat Metallic are
new paint colors. A new 16-inch alloy wheel is another first for 2003.
In addition, Focus is given painted gray headlamp surrounds and, on high-series
models, body-color decklid trim.
Performance
There are three different engines available, depending on the model. All
three offer excellent fuel economy, low emissions and long-lasting durability.
The base engine gives 110 horsepower. It comes with a choice of 5-speed
manual transmission (28/36 mpg) or 4-speed automatic (26/32 mpg). The
second engine, standard with uplevel models, puts out 130 horsepower and
has the same fuel ratings. The last engine, in the SVT model only, pumps
out 170 horsepower.
Improved body sealing, a new underbody sprayable deadener and thicker
carpet underlayment result in a major reduction of road noise. The 2003
Focus is now nearly 2 decibels quieter on the highway.
Safety and Security
All Ford Focus models are equipped with dual front airbags, driver's seat
position sensor, front outboard safety belt energy management retractors,
front outboard safety belt pretensioners and front safety belt usage sensors.
