I have only owned two cars. My 1997 Accord was reliable and well built.

I'm really happy with my 2012 Focus, though. Very quiet, is fun to drive, and very comfortable. I'm also way happier with a hatch versus a sedan. I've managed as high as 39 MPG.

I hope it's reliable. I only have 9500 miles on it, but only had one warranty repair (bad front strut) which the dealer gave me a loaner for. It does seem Ford has a renewed commitment to owner satisfaction.
