Well I know I won't be driving one.
The Mondeo has sold well since '93 in Europe and has only gotten better. Here, we have had compromised versions with the build quality of a wet paper bag.
Why am I still taking a 5 yr old car in for recalls ???? Thats not counting all the stuff that hasn't, but should, be recalled. Paint and waterpumps for example.
There are a few cars on/coming to market that will get my cash first. EVO VII, WRX and hopefully Alfa Romeo in a year or two.
I love my car dearly and I don't regret buying it. That said, I haven't had any big issues yet. But I won't buy another Ford.
Regards...
