We have had two fords in our family. A mustang and a focus. Nothing but problems. I guess it is a crap shoot whether you get a good one or a bad one. For me, it is a game of the odds. What are the odds of my getting a lemon American car vs. the odds of getting a lemon foreign (Japan/Europe) car.
Economically, I simply can't justify taking such a chance on an American car these days. I know a lot of people who have gotten lucky with American cars, but I also know more that have been unlucky.
But hey, that's why there is a car market, so each can buy from who they feel comfortable with.
