As a result of my nightmarish experience of driving/owning a Ford I do drive a foreign car, and will continue to do so. I will never buy a Ford product again.
I agree.
Until 2001, I had a Ford Tempo.
It really truly was a car from hell. Everything seemed to go wrong on this car.
By the time the car burned up (because it was sitting next to a dumpster that some a-hole set on fire - no, it wasn't me), it seems as though everything in the engine and transmission had been replaced at least once.
Amazingly, I've heard similiar stories from other Tempo owners as well.
Right now, I drive a Saturn VUE and I'm pleased with it.
I have had the same experience. I have owned three Fords in forty years of being a licensed driver. The first was a 1956 Ford Fairlane that always knew when it was payday and would break down, the second a 1983 Ranger that caught fire and me with it, and lastly a 1992 F250 that had a major fuel problem even the dealers couldn't figure out. I have been Found On Road Dead too many times. No more!

I've had pretty good luck with the Fords. Every GM I've owned has come down with what I call GM-itis. Door handles start falling off, windows won't go up/down, AC goes out. Love my Navigator.
The car I'll never buy again is a Nissan. I've got a beautiful 1990 300zx that the Nissan dealership REFUSES to let me bring in for them to look at because its "too old." Screw 'em, I'll never buy another and I'm not even going to tell them why.
