    Making new wagon friends is much better than making money. You'll just spend the money on more junk anyway. Friends will be there later to keep you company at the nursing home. :rofl2:

    REALLY? I know nothing about the quality, but, I like the looks of the Focus wagons and what you can do with them. I'm discouraged to hear they have problems.:(

    Glad you finally have a friend, Tedy! :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

    We'll they haven't known each other long...:biglaugh:

    Mom had a Focus wagon, she loved it. However she had to get rid of it because the frame in the back had rusted really bad. But the guy that bought it is still driving it and that was about a year ago...:49:

    Yup. Have had the window regulator fail, then had to replace the positive battery cable and alternator. Had to replace both front rotors when I did the brakes. The face plate on the radio broke off. Then recently I just had to replace the fuel pump. Oh and the valve cover is leaking oil so you can always smell it when you turn on the vent. Also not to mention, mine doesn't even have 50K miles on it yet. I'm sure I'm forgetting something but you get the idea.

    Don't get my wrong, I love the utility of my ZX5. I just hate every thing else.

    If I end up buying another new car it will be a GM or possibly a foreign make.

    odd, i have had 2 foci. i flogged the hell out of my '02 zx3. 100k miles in 3 years, street racing etc. i was never once stuck or had a failure.
    the 08 focus zx4 was my wifes and she is not easy on cars either. it also never had 1 problem.
    may be buying a '12 focus at the end of the model year.

    come to think of it...my fords never let me down...neither did my jeeps.
    but i do maintain my cars in a obsessive/compulsive kinda way.
