I guess this is another case where I've just been lucky. No problems, save recalls, and no rattles in 5 years of ownership.
Also lucky in that I have a garage and a short trip to work since I've had the car.
Lot's of great cars, even Fords, on the road, though after 15 years. It takes some work, but it's still cheaper than buying new cars every three years, and just think of the exclusivity as all your friends' Fords rot away and become parts queens!
I'm not bagging on your decision, just surprised at the wear and tear you've experienced.
