 I would not buy this vehicle again. The transmission completely failed less than 15,000 miles in. I feel most drives are like driving on egg shells waiting for something else to go wrong. This would be a very nice vehicle, and it has gotten me all around the country on extremely long roadtrips, but it doesn't seem all too reliable and the integrity of the engine just isn't there. I've also had very poor experiences with Ford in general, both with customer service and repairs, but also in the ford roadside assistance. I was stranded with a flat tire in Montana a couple years ago and the roadside assistance guy literally told me to google the nearest repair shop (I couldn't, I didn't have internet access).
