To be quite honest........This is my first Ford and I am pretty impressed. The Donkey who had it before did some reallt F _ _ _ed shizz to it so I know it was driven hard.

It leaks about a quarter size spot of oil in a week and the oil pressure is really good....Its got 112,000 on it and it runs strong.............I am satisfied.

If you take care of it you will be able to have that car for a looooooooong time before that motor goes.

The only time mine hasn't started is when the TFI module went out. Clutch cable snapped once. And a heater core. I've owned it since August of 2003.

I just cant afford the gas... even though it gets the same gas mileage or better than my 00 Intrepid I feel like Im wasting alot more cause its a way smaller tank and its loud which makes it seem like Im wasting more also lol haha

Gas is only about $2.75 a gallon around here, it's not that bad but I still have to put gas in it every other day.


I don't care though, gas can go up to $5.00 a gallon and i'll still gladly drive it everyday.
