“I’ve owned many Fords in my day and never had a one of em die on me, I’ve owned Toyotas, Mazdas, VW’s, Chryslers as well... My fords cars had their idiosyncracies but they were reliable, ford full size vehicles I have owned are beyond compare, nothing else out there comes close. If ford could get the reliability and build quality of their full size divisions into their passenger cars they’d have no issues, as long as they let their Euro division style them... Man have they missed the boat on styling for a long long time”

If I’m not mistaken, Ford uses Mazda engines. If only they could get the Transmission issues worked out.

Depends on the engine. The four-cylinder Duratec is identical to the Mazda MZR; Ford designs and builds everything from six cylinders on up.
