I also read on carcomplaints that this model seems to have a lot of issues, especially with the spring coming out and blowing the tire out.
not many issues, and the spring issue you mentioned was recalled anyway, so they would have been replaced for free already (or should have been as it is covered)...of course, this may depend on where you are...the only ones affected were the ones sold in states that use salt on the roads, as the recall installs "covers" to prevent too much salt damaging the spring brackets...if the springs failed, they were replaced free of charge (i had mine replaced a couple of years ago).

you can search for recalls here: »www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls/re···arch.cfm

Ah! Okay. That would explain it. We don't use salt on the roads here so it wouldn't apply to me. I am going to test drive them both on Friday/Saturday and pretty much go from there. I was told they would be having a few more cars coming in this week so I'll be checking out those as well.

My family has always been Ford as we have always had good luck with them with the exception of one back in the late 80's or eairly 90's.

We'll see what happens this weekend.
