PJ,
I'll give you the fuel economy,I saw the focus is getting 49 mile per,thats almost prius milage so kudos to you guys for that. The fit and finish on most of the line is very good these days too,but have you guys solved the engine leaks yet?
I recall escorts that leaked out of the transaxel,not at a seal but because of porus castings! IIRC they switched to mazda axels because the ones from mexico were so bad.Then there's the head gasket leaks,had a tempo..ya...
was a good car to me though except they could never solve the headgasket leaks.I had it replaced twice then just gave up and kept an eye on the oil!
It looks like I'll have to atleast take a look and a few test drives but I'll likely end up with another Honda.
Twenty years ago I would have called you crazy if you wanted to trade a benz in on a honda...... maybe I am crazy.
