 Having been a GM guy all my life and owning a Chevy and 2 Oldsmobiles, I was a little hesitant to drive a Ford, having known nothing much about them. This car has suprised me. I find myself driving with the radio off just so I can hear the engine! This car has a serious road presence, and with my Michigan Sheriff front license plate, I find myself often stuck behind traffic doing exactly the speed limit!  Mine is a loaded up LX, gently used with 19k on it. I picked it up for only $15k.  It has a smooth ride, not too floaty, and not too stiff, and good road feel for such an old-fashioned car.
