When one asks a question like that all you will get is opinions. If that person had a good one of that brand they will say they are good cars, those that didn't will say they are bad. The fact is ALL manufactures build some that are not up to their standards on occasion, that is why they ALL have a warranty. With all of the government regulations for CAFE, EPA longevity requirements and NHTSA crash standards, ALL manufactures are building good reliable vehicle today. The only REAL difference is price and style. At least that is what we see in are fleet service business. If you like the style and the price is right buy the car, don't worry whether somebody else liked the ONE they owned, WBMA ;)
As too the '6,' Ford thinks a lot of that chassis. They are going to build several vehicles including a small SUV, over the next two years, off that chassis but with Ford engines. Personally I no longer buy foreign cars, not with all of the good domestic vehicles available on the market today at much lower prices. Many are 20 to 30 percent less but it's your money spend where you wish.
