This is also tremendously interesting to me, as, by my depreciation chart (I'm waiting until I can buy one for under $2,000), I'll probably be driving Foci from 150,000 to around 200,000 miles.

 

iunno but ive been thru 8 CD PLAYERS!!!

i think there was a thread about a foci with really high mileage...but i dont remember how much, it was up there tho.

 

I'm pretty sure one fellow checked into that thread w/over 200K, and several over 100K.

 

I'm at 82,000. And considering I haven't shifted below 5,000 rpm for most of that and haven't had any problems I'm pretty happy.

Oh that's 82,000 kms

 

Was at the dealership tday with mine, and the service guy said he had onein at 220,000 miles still running strong, no major problems!

 

68k and still kickin auto spi!!

next summer imma get a manual!!

 

im gonna be puching 80,000 miles and it still out drives
and performs most 2000 models with lower miles

 

stickshifter is putting miles on at an alarming rate. I don't think he's broken 50 yet, but his car is two months old

 

30k in 15 months

 

LOL, 8k in 7 months

 

heavily modified 2000 SPI manual with 88K miles. no major problems. ignition lock cylander froze up once and I think my ECU is on its last leg. still runs great.

 

Mine is 2 months old, 3400 miles and has been in for the AC CD Player Paint and a broken Seat Belt. Minor things, but enough to make me nervous. Husband said last night it's ok to trade it in and take the loss ($) just from hearing about all the problems they have. (Mazda Protege5 is just calling my name!!)

 

The MP5 is a great car. Id love to get one. but what problems are you talking about. Mine is an early 2000. I went thru about 10 recalls and new cylander head design. I was worried about it too but 88K miles or great driving has put me at ease. you are still way under warrenty and with no sign of mechanical trouble, I wonder what you are fretting about.

I wouldnt take a loss unless the car left me stranded more than once. thats just me though.

 

34K in 17 months

Anyway I've read that Ford designs their engines to last at least 150K with out any interal work needing to be done to them

 

82,368 since December 4, 2000, (I bought it with 14 miles on the OD)
Mechanical repairs: fuel pump, ECU, EGR valve
Cosmetic repairs: Front & rear bumpers, drivers door
All recalls are done & up to date. Original brakes & clutch.
Still running strong with no signs of wear or "tiredness". Getting around 28-29 mpg on average.

I'm only at 42k miles here but 30k of those miles have been at 5-7psi with the dreaded SFMS(5th injector) as my only tuning/fuel management. It's been driven very hard. Been on the rev limiter in 1st and 2nd gear many times(auto-x).

Only problems so far: Fuel pump and DPFE sensor. Both replaced by Ford with the turbo still on the car.

 

i have over 125,000 miles on my car but the engine has been replaced a few times, for racing. the tranny is still stock and original and with drag racing its has held up well

 

39,000 miles/2.5 years and no probs on my zetec auto zx3

Ive put on 33,000 miles in 14 months with no major problems,
a few little ones like a broken catalitic converter and the ignition locked up, but other than that it seems preety reliable.

 

Keep a car maintained, and they'll go as long as you want them to!

 

87,000 here, and running just fine, even with 14 psi of boost.

 

40K in 11months, it is my daily driver. Have not had to take it in for any repairs yet, I just keep the oil and filters changed. I'm pretty happy

My Focus is pretty much stock though.....

 

I'm at 21k on my 02 ZX3 5 speed. Went through 3 sets of rotors and pads in the first 10,000 miles, 4th set is finally lasting (apparently they had a bad batch). And 2 punctured tires (damn firestones). Other than that, it's been a solid car. It's good to hear everyone's getting some miles out of their Foci

 

58K on my 2000 zetec manual

It still runs great, and I have has no mechanical problems whatsoever. I plan on keeping this car for as long as it holds together.

 

43k 2k ZX3 running fine

Just put on it's first set of new tires and will be replacing front brake rotors and pads in the next week or so, for the second time.
