My 98 SE V6 is probaby worse than Ladas built in the 80's. Thankfully it's still under ESP Premium - Ford has done over $12,000 Canadian in repairs during the last 10 months. This piece of crap is GONE when the first minor problem arises after ESP is finished. I will lose about 4K but this thing will suck me dry so I perfer to take the hit upfront, not have go to the shop twice a month, and enjoy trouble free foreign built motoring.
I will be buying Japanese, Korean or German car next time. No more Ford junk.
