Like you, I've had a few bad experiences with Fords. So I don't buy Fords
anymore. I *do* buy other American cars.

I've had other American cars. 100% crap so far. I've had GM, Ford,
Chevy and Cadillac.

I have a company-provided 2001 Chevy Cavalier LS that GM should have
been ashamed to sell. What a complete piece of garbage. We have a
fleet of them, in addition to some Malibus, and as each set of cars
hits certain mileage numbers, say 10k, 20k, etc... It's really neat
watching them all fail in identical ways. It's almost like watching a
Consumer Reports reliability survey live! G

FWIW, the Cavalier rates "poor" in frontal-offset crashes, and we're
in a downsizing mode, so maybe they choose them for a reason. G
