 This car is now within a few hundred miles of 100k.  Other reviewer's comments regarding braking are very interesting to  me.  All of my driving life (I am 82) I have driven with the attitude that whatever hurts my car hurts my pocketbook.  With very few exceptions  I have stuck with Ford automobiles and have never experienced what I would classify as poor braking.  In the case of this car the only brake repair was at 29000 miles, when the rear pads and rotors were replaced under the warranty.   I now expect that the brakes will be carefully examined with the 100k servicing.  Regarding service, I religiously conform to the manufacturer/s recommendations and maintain the car at the ford dealership.   I anticipate what is ahead of me while driving, I do not charge traffic lights to beat the red, and I conform to the law as much as possible.   I believe this has saved me a lot of money over the years.  This car is one of the best I have ever owned.
