hi I might be interested in getting a focus probably zx3 sometime in a year or so. I would like to get a 2.3L PZEV and automatic if i can. I can drive stick but it really is annoying when i wnat to drink coffee or whatever. ANyways, my question is this: How reliable is the auto trans on the focus?
my dad used to have 2 taurauses(eighty something and a '91) which both had the transmission go bad at about 100,000 miles and 4-5yrs. everything was fixed under warranty but then on the 91 the trans blew at 105k again. I know that thes taurauses had problems but i am wondering how good the transmission is on the focus, especially those people with 01s or 02s and high mileage thanks.
