2005 Ford Focus ZX4 ST Quick Spin

The SVT Focus is no longer available? That’s correct. The last SVT Focus models were built for the 2004 model year, and production is not expected to resume anytime in the future. That makes the 2005 Ford Focus ZX4 ST the “sportiest” model currently available.

What kind of warranty coverage comes with the 2005 Ford Focus? The basic warranty is good for three-years/36,000-miles. Compared with competing brands such as Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, and Mitsubishi, that coverage is relatively weak. However, the five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, while not class-leading, certainly takes some of the worry out of buying a new Focus.

Are rebates and incentives available with the 2005 Ford Focus? At the time of this writing, there is a $2,000 rebate on the 2005 Focus, and financing offers of 0-percent for 48 months, 0.9-percent for 60 months, and 2.9-percent for 72 months. These types of offers will likely continue, if not get even better.
