if you read the rest of that, you would know that I know a lot of people that have found Fords to be great cars, and that the 3rd Ford that I have owned has been good to me so far. I’m quite convinced that I had shitty luck with both of them, and the number of good stories i have heard about Fords outweighs the number of problems that I have experienced. Generally speaking, I think they are a fairly reputable car manufacturer.
