Best Car I've Ever Driven
I have had this car for about 5 years now and it is so reliable. I don't know much about cars at all, but for me it exceeds my expectations and I don't think I'll ever buy anything other than Ford ever again.

Reliable, yet boring car
I purchased this car used with about 15,000 miles on it. So far, I have not had any major mechanical issues and have put about an additional 50,000 miles on it.
I get 27.7 Miles to the gallon (mostly highway driving), but I have a little bit of a lead foot so a more conscientious driver should be able to push about 30 mpg. I usually only need to fill up every 2 weeks since the tank holds just over 12 gallons.
I have begun to notice some squeaks and rattles, but that's somewhat to be expected since the interior is mostly plastic (except for the leather seats). Speaking of leather seats, I'd recommend that you avoid getting both a black exterior and black leather seats, as they get quite hot when the car sits in the sun for any extended period of time.
I have found some other minor issues. The engine sometimes vibrates excessively when idling at a stoplight. Based on some research, it seems this is likely due to some small stones caught in the engine mount. This should be easy enough to fix, but I just haven't gotten around to it. My largest complaint is that the front tires wear out waaay too fast. I've had 70,000 mile rated tires last for 25,00 before they need to be replaced. Many tire place offer certificates for tires which allow you to replace the tires for a fraction of the cost of the new tires if they wear out too soon. This is a MUST if you purchase this care.
