It’s a ford, the thing starts falling apart at 100k

Honestly. I had a friend with a focus that dropped the transmission at 20k miles. American ICE cars are junk.

Ah shit another victim of thr Focus! Lol. I've sworn off Ford because of that pile of garbage. Think my mother's is at 40k miles or something but doesn't have much life left

I always heard that, but my Focus was a beast. Nothing but oil changes and basic shit like brakes and tires. Oh, and the HVAC fan dial broke off. Delivered pizza in that fucker for about 6 years, and gave it to family when it hit 160k miles. They drove it for another 20k before trading it in for a new car.

Bought a Fusion after that and it was also super reliable. Sold it with 150k on it and it was still practically mint. No rust, no issues at all. That did have some evaporative system issues that were about $800 to ID and fix but that was in from 28k to 150k.

That’s part of the joke. Now if you excuse me I have to go lift the chassis off the frame of my F-150 to change my oil.

lol. I own two fords and they are pretty solid, true story. Really though, I like them. My 2015 Fusion PHEV has 180k with zero issues. You guys are thinking of Stelantis crap.
