 We have had this for two years and have been to the shop numerous times.  The handle on the rear door has fallen off three times, for no reason at all.  Since the dealership cannot fix it right, my husband has finally just bolted it to work and stay on.  We also have had the radio/CD/Tape console replaced.  The mileage could be better.  The third row seat can only comfortably seat 3 kids.  As I write this, it is broken down at the bus stop and I had to haul my 5 & 3 year old home in the rain!  I have owned Hondas since 1992 and decided to take a chance on this Ford due to the great price.  Sometimes you get what you pay for!  Take my advice, buy the Honda.  I know I will next time.
