Good American automobile
At 50.000 miles my front electric window refused to roll up. This costs me $275 to fix. Also at 50.000 miles I had to put a new battery in. New brakes installed at 70.000 miles.
Car handles like a dream. Good acceleration and braking. Reliable sturdy car.

What it lacks in afford-ability, it has made up for in handling and performance
Speaker on driver's door went bad for no reason, cuts in and out.
Windshield on driver's side leaks.
Hazard's don't work and cause sporadic shorts in blinkers.
Fuse causes interior lights to remain on for any number of days after it rains.
In cold, wet weather, horn blows on it's own and you have to remove fuse.
Overdrive blown in transmission at 59K miles. Affecting the rest of the Trans.
This car has wonderful pick-up and handling.
The brakes are very responsive when properly maintained.
Great gas mileage in the city or on the highway.
Air-conditioning is very quick and effective.
Lumbar supports in front seats make driving comfortable for individuals.
Interior is easy to clean, stain-resistant.
Entire vehicle is very compact, yet spacious on inside.

Misleadingly nice and luxurious
Soon after I got this car, coolant started pouring out of the bottom.
The Serpentine belt broke
The battery needed to be replaced
The interior dome light needs to be tapped to go on.
The turn signal is periodically malfunctioning
The front passenger door doesn't close all the way.
I think that this is a really nice car. it is very comfortable.
However there are the problems that keep me from wanting another one.
I think my next car will be a Honda or Toyota.

Great first car
Nothing has gone wrong with the car since I owned it in February. When I bought it the car needed a inner tie rod end, and a alignment.
I love it. VERY dependable, really comfortable. It is the best car I have ever owned.

A nice car to drive, but aggravating otherwise
My check engine light is constantly on. I've had it put through on the computer multiple times and nothing comes up, but its presence is still aggravating.
There are 4 oxygen sensors that need replacing every so often, but the check engine light still doesn't go off.
The radio setup is nice, yet very inconvenient to replace with a new plate for a CD player.
The car is noisy under the hood.
Somehow the inside of my doors have separated from the metal part of the door.
On the outside, this is a very nice car.
However, the check engine light being on is very aggravating and often embarrassing when friends are in the car.
The car handles well and drives very nicely at all speeds.
Spacious trunk.

How did you fix your doors same thing wrong with my 96.
Go to the Auto store or Ford dealership and purchase door clips. It will cost you about $5 a door and take you 5-30 minutes to replace. Take the screw out of the armrest/spot for your hand to close the door. then pull the door panel off and replace all of the clips. push the panel back on and reinstall the screw. The dealership also has new screw in tabs that can be installed.
Oxygen sensors from ANY manufacture (Bosche, Nippo, NGK, ect) on any car are designed to last 50k. Purchase OEM oxygen sensors and you will get another 100-140k miles out of them.
Noisy engine is probably the belt tensioner going bad.
