Fords...: By The_Britney on - Updated Sep 18, 2011
I love my car! I had never driven a 5 speed until I bought this car and I can honestly say my clutch is still intact. It is a lovely burnt orange and has my lovely trademark of a camoflauge Brownings deer head on my back glass. I have driven this car above and beyond what I should and of course being a Ford it has outdone itself. The power of the 5 speed not only adds a little extra ummmph...but it also conserves fuel. Which we all know now a days REALLY is a big help. I get up to 33 mpg on the highway, of course with any vehicle the stop go traffic kills it slightly. This car has yet to let me down. I have burned through one set of tires...and it took me a year and a half to do that. I have over 203,000 miles on it and it is still running strong. Shows you the power of a Ford. When I bought the car it had 180,000 miles on it, it was the companies travel car because it got such good gas mileage. So I am very pleased with my burnt orange hunk of metal :)

I am surprised that your clutch is still intact to. Fords are bad for that. Glad it is working for you.
I had a Ford Mustang once, I loved it, but it was dangerous to drive in the winter. I am glad you are enjoying your Ford.
