I still don't know either this forum is joke or business, well! Ford cars aren't problematic as people thought. For you to be cognizant about Ford, I appeal take the pain and go through all Femtopford write-up on NL car talk. Three segments (1)Ford, Lincoln And Mercury Cars Thread. (2)Ford technological solution. (3)Ford cars quite explicit.

with all due respect boss i understand ur plight but it doesnt sound right for u to think every post is a joke without knowing d motive behind it. personalli I love Ford cars. n i av been following them for a while. den I noticed deir priced compared to other car brands. I saw a ford edge one tym n d person was selling for quite a ridiculous price. of wc I kno d car was not problematic and for that I wanted to kno why. dts d reason I asked. juzt to learn. n even so I decided to also follow ur posts on fords @femtopford I realised ppl av had d wrong notion bt fords... is it too much to ask to learn sir?

I drive a Ford and its been very reliable. The sterotype around that Fords tend to break down at the slightest whim is pretty false.

But I must be hasty to say they do not tolerate half-assed mechanical work- deviation from the manufacturer's recommendations can quickly turn them into your WORST nightmare! (ask my uncle!! grin)

Most of us have terrible maintenance culture and so prefer jap mobiles...which are more tolerant of abuse. Thus demand is low...and that brings down the prices. Keeps them nice and cheap for us aficionados though

Exactly bruh. Anyways, I drive an '03 Ford Focus SE wagon. She's pretty much stock and except for reversing all the 'tropicalization' the former owner did to her....its pretty much routine maintenance.

Billy 187 said the basic bitter truth. For this century Ford has been making much better and reliable cars. Yes...they are cheaper even brand new that comparable Toyota or Hondas.... and yes their parts are also much cheaper and almost always original. They however burn more fuel....but would be tougher and more powerful and can withstand the rough better than others. The Ford Edge is great for family... but at the same time can be used as a commercial vehicle....to haul goods or onstruction materials whatever. If you want to buy.....first and second priority.... find and commit all maintenance and repairs to a reputable shop that deals with Ford.

Nice talk, thanks a lot.

The best thing to do is go to any manufacturers website and see their offering then go to YouTube and watch the reviews online or comparison then you will understand more about each car

Some of the best reviews are done by caranddriver, motortrend,autobytel,alexonautos,saabkyle, subaruwrxfan,and red line, tflcars
