I'm a big Ford fan, never had any problems with Fords here at home, and my dad has been driving them for almost 30 years.
My Fiesta is 10 years old and still going strong, and I know a few with 300.000 + kms, still going strong. I believe at my garage there is one with over half a million kilometers, still going.
Oh yea, you can't compare Ford Europe with Ford America. The American Fords are different cars (completely different), they are built in different factories too. They're actually quite independent from each other.
And I bet BlueFlame prefers an overpriced Audi any time. You can have your Audi, but I'll be cruising with a better equipped car, for a longer time, and for half the money.
