This car is stylish on the exterior, but unreliable when it comes to expensive components like engines, transmissions.
Resale value was not retained well.
At six years old, car is totalled by costs of repairs.
Cooling system flush ever 1 to 2 years as per Fords reccomendation. they don't say this just to waste there time...
Transmission should have been flushed every 30k, I'm assuming that wasn't done either.
