 I have put 37000 miles on this car in 
a year and a half and have not had any 
trouble with it whatsoever.  It is fun 
to drive gets good mileage and is 
cheap to maintain.  I always recommend 
this car to anyone who asks and when 
it comes time to trade it in I will 
probably buy another Ford product. 
This car beats my old Civic hands down 
especially in the "fun-to-drive" 
category.
