I have a general statement/question: I've been looking at the problems area a good bit. Compared to the Contour V6, (and I know Zetec gives up the horsepower) isn't the Zetec pretty bulletproof? I mean I don't see that many posts about thrown rods, bad water pumps, or other problems on the Zetec. Or is it because most of the posts are from V6'ers?
THanks
