Wow, 10k miles on a 2001? That’s an amazing find!

Yeah, it belonged to an older lady who only used it as a Sunday driver. It sat in a heated garage for years after she passed away.

I’ve got a 2001 Focus ZTS with the 2.0 Zetec engine. It’s at 227k miles and still running strong. These engines can last a long time if maintained well.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

I had a European Focus with the 1.6 Zetec SE. The fuel pump and ignition coil gave me some trouble, but otherwise, it was solid.

26

Interesting. Mine has the 2.0 Zetec, and I’m in the U.S.

That explains it! The U.S. models were made differently. Sedans like yours were built in the States.

Got it—thanks for clarifying!
