2003 Ford Cars Model Guide
by Bob Plunkett

2003 Ford Focus
2003 Ford  Focus

Variations for Ford's worldly small car include a four-door sedan, five-door station wagon and hatchbacks in three-door and five-door formats.

For action, Focus gets two editions of a 2.0-liter four-cylinder Ford engine. The economy mode with single-cam design for sedan and wagon makes 110 hp, while the sporty mode has dual cams for more spark to 130 hp.

It's standard on Z-cars like the ZTS sedan, ZX3 three-door and ZX5 five-door hatchbacks, or five-door ZTW wagon.

A performance version -- SVT Focus -- appears as a three-door hatch off the ZX3 and a new five-door model based on the ZX5.

Power for SVT models stems from a souped-up engine zipped to 170 hp through a six-speed gearbox by Getrag.
