 I owned this car for 5 years and had 
nothing but problems with it. I spent 
so much money on repairs including a 
new transmission. Just last week the 
car finally died. I sent it off to a 
salvage yard and went out and bought a 
2004 Toyota Corolla, which is of course 
a wonderful and reliable car! I would 
never own a Ford after my exprience 
with the Ford. And yes I understand 
this is a Mazda engine.
