  • Newer Fords since 2005 have been way up in quality with the exception of the international built diesel engines (that will be gone in 2010) The Fusion as some one said, 3 year quality has beat the Honda and Toyota and as a technician I can guarantee it. The Festiva is supposed to be built in the same plant if I... Read More
  • My Dad has a 1996 F 150 with a 302 5.0 v8. Still running today, I drive it now. Rust is just starting to come through. In most cases, if you take care of the car, oil changes, don't beat it up all the time, clean it, change breaks, it will last. We also have a '95 explorer and had a '90 Taurus. However, we have a '03... Read More

Other Choices:

The 2011 Ford Fiesta is Ford's attempt to plant a first-rate competitor into a garden dominated by Asian brands. While the Honda Fit is priced a bit higher than other entries, it remains the car the Fiesta has to beat; the Fit gets good ratings for its spritely handling, uber-flexible and spacious interior, and a solid feel behind the wheel. While the Nissan Versa is priced quite low, it sacrifices features to get there. It also rides and handles like a larger, heavier car, lacking the nimble handling that's a pleasure of the best subcompacts. The Kia Rio5 handles well but isn't particularly comfortable at high speeds. Finally, while the Toyota Yaris formerly led the class in fuel economy, it lacks interior space and refinement. And Toyota's other contender, the Scion xD, feels sporty and offers features galore, but lacks the Fiesta's jaunty styling. Avoid the aging Chevrolet Aveo, which will be replaced next year.
