my parents have had bad experiences with fords
actually american cars in generall. Chevy & ford where the worst though.

i think the best car ive seen is a little Hyundai Elantra my gf had.
it had 100,000 miles on it, bought it for $3,000. it had ZERO done to it before we got it, and ZERO done to it when we sold it for $3500. lol. (xcept oil changes)

im serious, this thing was sweet, we lived in montana, and it started up first time, every time in -20 temps. It got up massive snowy hills, it was fast as ****, actually it was faster than my OZ.

Hyundai have gone up in my books. lol

as for mitsu....we shall see. althoug i havent heard any real bad things about them.

You better be a good shade-tree mechanic then. Most cars can be revived with fluid/filter changes.
