 I love this car.  It's roomier than my Taurus.  It has every option.  The car is nimble for driving around the town and on the freeway.  Ford could lose the middle console.  It's useless.  Seatbelts are designed for child safety & you have to dig for the latch end that's sandwiched between the seat & the console.  Tires were replaced with with Pirelli tires at 40,000 miles & should have been 10,000 miles earlier. New front brakes @ 32K. Rotors are disposable.  Rear hatch key gasket keeps falling out in car washes.  Rust is starting form on the bottom of the hatch.  That's not FOMOCO's fault. That's from a dealer who repaired the car when my wife tried to move a concrete pole with rear bumper.
