1. Ford's drive is good.

2. Ford does not hold its money value

3. Local Mechanics are unable to fix its even smaller problems, which is why, the car has to be scrapped if its problem remained non fixed or you do not get its spare part.

4. You do not find its spares even in the scrap.

5. Parts are very expensive.

Prado and Camry are reliable, easy to maintain and both consistently hold their value.

1. Less well built for middle east

2. Tiida has better AC

3. Beyond the 5-6 years of use, do not expect as good a resale value. Will go for no more than 12,000 when you have finished using it

4. Parts are expensive. Cosmetics parts are a whole lot more expensive.

5. Your simpleton mechanics are not fond of non japanese cars.

Remember, the resale value of Nissans and Toyotas are higher than other brands in Qatar for a reason(actually many reasons)

Good luck!

It's a Ford - so it is very reliable. Better build quality than a Tiida.

Parts are a little more expensive .. Fine for driving in Qatar .. Low resale value , but then purchase price is also low
