Based on the experience with my wife's ford exploder I'll never ever ever buy another ford again. I will never buy another american car again either.
American workers are too busy thinking about weekend partying and drinking to be concerned about job quality. It's true, how many of you out there actually care about the quality of work you produce? Do you constantly think about partying at work? Probably not but the blue collar worker lives to drink and doesn't care about his job other than the paycheck. %^&* them and their products.
The Japanese have an admirable discipline and work ethic. I trust the quality of their products.
Don't ever buy american.signature not visible until patch comes out.

I wouldn't spend $150K on a car anyway.
But a FixOrRepairDaily? **** that.

The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

We're talking about the tendency of Fords to break down, fall apart, and otherwise generally suck ass. Your Dad got lucky.

I'm willing to bet Ford of Europe is a better car than what we get here in the states. Do you live in Israel? Your dad probably was driving a ford for the European market.signature not visible until patch comes out.

Oh, yeah, that's true. I remember that Ford was considered a solid brand in the UK. They must realize that Euros are smart enough not to buy total crap (but they can get away with it here).

Fords in Europe used to be crap and break down every five minutes. Then people began to realise that you could get a Japanese car for the same money with more toys to play with that didn't break down. Ford sales went through the floor. Credit to them they came back with better cars and are still a major player in the european motor industry.
I don't own a car (I loathe cars actually) but hired a Ford Focus turbo diesel for a week's holiday earlier this year. As cars go it was very good.
If I were to pay silly money for a flashy car (never!) I would want one with a brand that has more history or exclusivity. No one would buy a Toyota instead of a Mercedes but they would and do buy Lexus.Never give an AI an even break.
