 In the two years I've owned the CV its 
been lots of trouble.  Bad emission 
sensors required a trip back to the 
dealer within two weeks.  Add to that 
the occasional engine troubles and I 
was mad enough.  Last week the 
serpentine sp? belt broke causing the 
elctrical system to fail, the steering 
to quit working completely, and the 
engine to overheat.  As for traction 
in PA winters, they ought to rename 
the CV to the Ford Death Sled.  Couple 
this with the exploding gas tank in 
rear-end collisions (I haven't 
experienced this personally) along 
with the super bland exterior styling 
and it's easy to see why people buy 
Japanese.
