Yes, they are stupid, but they are RICH as hell, and don't care about you, me or anyone else. Fix what you've got. Don't be a debt king in your neighborhood.

They want to keep milking the 1.9% for 84 months crowd.

Just waiting to be lit.

Totally agree on all points. I just want a base with a manual transmission and a V8.

Yes, that was a shame. Poor choice to put a cheap dual clutch in the focus. They aren't Volkswagen. Other than the trans, the focus was a good car. But as always with ford, there's always something that's a huge deal breaker, but don't realize that it's their fault.

@@barsaf9989 additionally, every time I took the car in for service they claimed the transmission problems were NORMAL. New technology, fixed by software upgrades, etc. After years of this BS they finally recalled them. But guess what? It's gonna take 4 months to get the parts. Parts come in 4 months later. Oh, we only have 6 technicians in the area who can perform the service, so they're booked solid for another 3 months! Finally get the service done and within a few weeks it's doing the same things as the old one! Just awful. And in the class action lawsuit they have e-mails from Ford execs telling the dealers to basically LIE to their customers. So they did. Anyway, sorry for the rant.

Remember the Firestone fiasco with the Ford Exploder? People have short memories, man!

Spare me. Jeep has been passed around and owned by more companies than a hooker on a Friday night in Vegas.

People have said that since the dawn of the car. My father said many said the same 50 years ago when he bought a first generation mustang for 3.3k back when cars had no computers. I heard the same thing from adults as a child in the 90’s when the electronics were primitive by modern standards and I hear the same thing now. A new car is always expensive. Most people just don’t understand how inflation works. That first generation mustang my father bought for 3.3k was 2 years wages for most people when he bought it. When I look at a modern one it’s still roughly 2 years for most people.

​@@Bonanzaking I think he means there's too many electronics that we don't want and fail

@@JohnDoe-ef3wo a lot of the electronics most of us don’t want are federally mandated at this point. Like the back up camera. Don’t like it well blame congress, like they’ve mandated all cars starting 2026 have a killswitch and built in breathalyzer to stop drunk drivers. He wouldn’t care about the computer bs if the cars were cheap. Reality is though a new car has always been expensive. In reality when people understand inflation…they’d realize cars haven’t really changed in price over the decades in real terms. If anything some have gotten cheaper in real terms like quad cab trucks even though the nominal number goes up.

Funny people said that about 30 years ago when there was the GM EV1 and electric ford ranger. Yet look at where things are 30 years later.

Source?

Stop lying bro, where's the studies?
