How would you rate your Svt on a scale from 1 to 10 as a daily driver. 10 being the most reliable and 1 being the worst.

Mines feeling a little slow and the shifter doesn't wanna move to the sides. I'd rate it a 2. Look down.

for some reason something is always breaking on this car. I give it a five for reliability. I know how to fix most things so it doesn't really bother me much. I consider each repair an excuse for modding the car. I really only dislike it when whatever I am fixing cannot be upgraded, then I feel like I wasted my time.

Aside from the interior fit & finish and suspension squeaks/moans, it gets a 9.
6yrs as a daily driver and one minor issue which was covered under warranty (broken shift tower).
Only maintenances items I've done would be new front & rear pads, plus a new rear caliper after the mechanic broke mine.
Oil changes
fuel filter
wiper
Air filter
PS fluid change
Radiator flush

10. Pretty reliable so far, ride isn't smooth and the engine isn't quiet because of the modifications I've done. Still easy to drive and the seats are very, very comfortable.

Again, as stated aside from the build quality I have enjoyed my time with my SVT. N omajor malfunctions, so probably an 8. Since I moved, 1/2 the way home from everywhere is a really bumpy/ rough road. It makes the rattles and squeaks really loud. That is probably 1/4 of the reason I bought the ranger. Oddly though, it makes me realize how much Ford didn't care about our cars. the Ranger is a 99, with nearly twice the mileage of my SVT. It has little to no squeaks and rattle and the fit and finish is twice what the Contuor has.
