Old joke nga ng erpats ko: FORD starts for Fix Or Repair Daily hahaha.

Kidding aside, Sabi nila yung American Ford daw yung junk, pero British Ford daw yung reliable. Is this true? This statement came from my dad since he previously owned 2 Ford Escorts back in the 70s-80s. The first one is the "Brenda" and the 2nd one he owns is the Rally-prepped RS.

Ahhh...RS2000 still w/ him? Had the 2door Mk II while an uncle had a Mexico Mk I. Fun simple lil cars. I still kick myself today for giving that 1 up. Was young, dumb, & broke...now not much of the 1st 2, but still broke.[emoji852]

Don’t know how to comment on that one since the ecoboost engine in our Focus blew a piston but a certain Japanese manufacturer can also do that if ran too hard... Other than that, the car seems pretty solid.

We also have a 2013 Ranger and its pretty reliable. May speed boost pa na nilagay after the warranty expired... and it has none of those turbo issues. I think the ranger is designed by Ford Australia?

For the American Ford, we had a 2004 Escape 2.3 before. That thing was also solid as hell and we had no problems with it during ownership. It got into an accident, went off road during high speed. Nahulog sa farm. The only part that was damaged was the front bumper. We sold it in 5 years though and replaced it with a Fortuner so I can’t comment on a very long term reliability.

But the way their business strategy is going now, depriving other markets of small cars and concentrating on SUVs, is a pretty crappy move honestly. May market pa rin naman for it.

Escape 2.3 is a Mazda rebadged as a Ford

there's an ancient joke,,,
a newly-deceased soul finds himself in heaven, and sees... "why is that guy here in heaven? he was my neighbor, and he was a scoundrel!"
and St Peter says, because "he drove a ford".
...substitute any other car brand for "ford", depending on the target population of the joke.

newer models are following 12mo or 1yr (w/ever) comes first) maintenance intervals. its the most affordable in the industry. 5yr extended warranty is also optional and sometimes comes free. i think these things make the ownership less worry free.

one of the biggest ford clubs is now partnering with laus group. they already have fair pricing with autohub group.

I think theyre in the right direction.
