I love this car being this is my life's first car, though it has some maintenance issues, the car has never let down anywhere... perhaps ford reconsiders to upgrade the car with new engines and relaunches.. it will be a real hit... the car has that much in it...
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
