Far from it.
The 2nd gen Focus was and is a brilliant little car, at the time probably the best in the world in its class.
Daughter had one (yes I have a lot of daughters) and it was superbly reliable.
I'd be interested to know where the
OP's came from? Australia got a lot from South Africa, but some models came from Europe.
(I have this vague recollection that my daughter's was built in Belgium?)
The infamous PowerShart really only became a fixture with the Mk3.
Whilst it was used in some markets from the LV (mk2.5) onwards, I've never come across one in Australia. (Possibly weren't fitted to the SA built models?)
Imports from SA finished with the LV, and for a while with the LW (mk3) we switched back to Europeans, until Thailand got up and running.
