Been driving my 1991 Ranger 5-6 days a week since I bought it brand new. Now 241000 miles later I watch my friends at work trading their Toyota’s, Chevys and Dodges in for New every 2-3 years. And they brag about long life in a truck….HA!!!!! I plan to keep it till I retire, It is that good…….Buy FORD!!!!!

I am grazzy about gorgeus Ford ST,.I am in pain that i bought a car before i test drive ford ST.After my 3 minutes exprerience,one question came to my mind and that is what must i do to ensure to that the product dominates the road.I went home to search for the answers and now i know what to do, so that ST belongs to every young star,adults,executives and every one with innovative mind.
I am self employed and own marketing company based in Mamelodi.My Dream is to see Ford brands comanding a respect on the South African roads and thats possible,just put me to test with or without reccesion i am the man.

I’m a Detroit boy who grew up with FMC products. Glad to see FMC didn’t take gov’t money. My 99′ Ranger is about 11 yrs old. Still looks and runs like it did in 98′! I always recommend Fords! Like to see fully redesigned Ford Ranger, maybe a hybrid version. Also glad to new cars instead of just trucks!

I worked for a Ford dealer from ‘99 until ‘08 and seen first hand the evolution of Ford. They went from milking cash cows such as explorers and tauruses that made them lots of money but were only avg. vehicles, to what they are today, safest, most tech. advanced, most fuel eff., not to mention reliablity that cannot be surpassed by ANY manufacturer today. ANY. So for those out there thinking of paying 4-5 thousand more for a honda or toyota ’cause you heard they are MORE reliable, well you ought to think twice. I own a ‘05 mustang gt and it’s been perfect, my wife drives a ‘09 fusion and loves it (sync, check it out), and we have owned about a dozen others, including rangers, explorers, contour, focus, another fusion, and LOVED them all. My parents have a ‘04 and ‘05 f-150, sister has a ‘08 focus and just NO problems after hundreds of thousands of miles! Just can’t say enough about a great company, All this and they are not using our tax payers money to “right the ship” when we all aren’t out buying lots of cars! Good job Ford, everyone else needs to go buy stock in this company!

Recently sold my 1997 F-150 to a young Ford mechanic and it was still in very good shape, both cosmetic and mechanical. Twelve years of reliable driving with zero problems – still had the original battery. That sort of experience really sells Fords, and I replaced it with a 2010 Ford Escape. Love the Escape and am certain that it will provide the same kind of service and reliability Ford has worked so hard to achieve. I always suspected that Ford North America was capable of the excellence their European cousins were building into cars like the Mondeo (and selling like hotcakes) and the proof is now on the lot. Got a look at the 2010 Taurus on the dealer lot this week and found it really impressive. Good work Ford!

Good job Ford team……… My wishes where answered with the new line up… For example the Fusion Hybrid. But paint quality and technology. I currently own a 2006 Mazda 6 with 110,000 miles(reason for buy was style and relation to the ford family. I really liked the Fusion but didn’t buy it because of the interior trim on the base model. So I used my sister as a genuie pig. She has not had any major problems with her car. Some minor problems with the latches, and some hesistation when the car is staled . Great gas mieagle. She was looking into buy a honda civic or base honda accord. I used my old reciepts for the repairs on my honda i used to own. I pointed out 3 family memebers who had to replace the transmission on them. And my best friend who had her rotors and breaks replaced at 15000 miles bummer..Thats a 2009 honda accord.. I uses to Lease a 2000 – F-150 everyone would put me down on it. saying i should of bought a Chevy….. Price color and and trim level for under 25ooo…… chevy couldn’t compare……I love the truck so much I ended up putting 94,000 miles on it the ford leasing department was great at taking car of my loan…… I had an accident right as i was going to trade it in for a fully loaded limited explorer…. didn’t get to buy it……And after the accident I decide to wait….Bought the Mazda and Im ready to purchase my next ford soon………Gearing towards the Taurus Sho….. but the Hybrid might turn out to be more in my budget…….. The Sho ……. over 38000.00 not in my budget yet but we will see ..When are Fords going to have a good resale value…..thats my only disappointment for now… thanks ford ….tills this day i miss my f-150…..buy american……….
