Ford Escort
I just want to tell the Ford Motor Company about a 1997 Ford Escort LX Sport. I had that car up until 2007, and it had 77,000 miles on it. There was no rust. I had been in many accidents in that car, (not my fault) people kept rear ending me, and the repair shop could always fix it. Men always wanted to buy it. I loved that car, it was a light green/aqua color. It is the most reliable car that i have ever owned. I am so sad that it is gone. When i go in my last accident, my insurance company finally decided to totaled it. Even with that, the repair men were calling me at the shop were asking me to settle with them. They were trying to offer me almost $4,000 for it. I just wanted Ford to know that to me, that was and always will be, the best car that i ever had.
Sincerely,
Patricia Barksdale-Benners

I made this comment before, but I will say it again. Thank you soooo much, Ford Motor Company, for making the 1998 Mercury Marquis. This car SAVED the lives of my parents. My father thought he saw a car coming into his lane so she swerved. He lost control and rolled the car at 45 mph. The car rolled and slid to a stop. My father came out of it with a cut on the head, mom came out with an ego and torn pantyhose. I have NO complaint about that since they are both elderly. I felt they both should have been MORE seriously injured than they were. The right side of the car was crushed. Ford, again thanks for a great car. Too bad the Mercury line is being discontinued.

Hello, I have owned two Escort GT\'s, and SHO Taurus, an Explorer Sport, an 03 SVT Cobra and an 04 Sport Trac Adrenalin, an F150 and an F250. I currently owne a SVT Focus and an 05 Sport Trac Adrenalin. I love the look of the new Explorer and was disappointed that there is no plan for a current Sport Trac based on the current Explorer body style. I would love to replace my current Sport Trac with a new SVT Sport Trac. One with a 5.0 or larger V8, six speed automatic transmission, larger than normal brakes covered by some nice 20 inch rims, and handling comparable to the Mustang. Please Ford build my new truck as i don\'t want a bigger F150 again after the smaller and better Adrenalin Sport Trac.
