My car has been ok. It has a recalled transmission that has been fixed and replaced twice already. It is now at least underage warranty for the parts until 100,000 miles. I choose the red color, as it was the coolest shade and had metallic flakes in it. Looks terrific in the sun, has awesome pickup, and some other really cool features, like Bluetooth.

My car is reliable, and hasn't needed much maintenance that I've had to pay out of pocket for. However, it was part of a systemic transmission recall that caused it to ride very roughly for a couple of years. Initially, Ford wouldn't admit that there was a problem, but eventually there was a class-action lawsuit which caused them to fix the problem for free. Otherwise, I enjoy the comfortable interior, the Bluetooth, the good A/C and heating system, and the good gas mileage.
