I have driven Ford for 30 years,And have always gotten 150 thousand miles plus out of all of them,with little repair,Now that’s value.I just bought A 2009 Focus and couldn’t be happier with it.My last ford escort had 175 thousand miles and still going, so now some else is driving it.Its great when you can get a car with quality and value.My son and I still laugh at when he was teen I would load my escort with his friends on a Friday night so I could deliver them all home safe.
