Anybody with experience in Ford cars ?

Hello everybody,


I'm in the market to buy a new car, and I was contemplating the Fusion and Taurus from Ford.


Anybody here can share his own experience with Ford, as in how reliable their cars are, how good their after sale service is, how expensive parts are, etc.


Any input is appreciated,


Cheers :)

 Ford Expedition Is an excellant Car . Very Powerfull yet Light to drive . I have used it for four Years  till the warranty Period and then sold to get a new one ............  The spareparts and service bit expensive but Hayy you are enjoying an Amerrican SUV used by Cops in Amerrican Movies  ;-)

Using Ford cars, is absolutely wonderful opportunities, I am using Ford Expedition 2010 model and stability wise are great, total performance is great both on or off the road.My only comment is with the after sales Service Center. For a simple repair works or even regular maintenance it will take you 2-3 days if you are lucky sometimes even more, why?..... they are always full because they have only one service center Al Mana Motors, at Street 24 only. Short of Manpower, they are not even working full day (1:00 - 3:00PM break), Thursday Half a day works. But you have no options to go other way otherwise you will loose your warranty. Repair works under warranty shall be first scheduled for inspection by Al Mana crews, after the investigation, then the works shall be referred to the Warranty company (GAP) for inspection, then they will start doing the repair after the confirmation from (GAP) "if" there is an available technician otherwise you will wait. Service charges...eewww you wll cost your arm and leg.

well in general any car if you are going for new one will not have maintenence headache for 2 years...the spareparts for ford is bit expensive...regarding the car if you are going for taurus go for the eco boost engine...damn powerfull...but the car is expensive...depends on your budget too...

Just IMHO but Taurus not worth the 20k over Fusion.

I dont know the present situation of Ford cars but checking one issue of Ford cars is very important. The fuel pump of some of the Ford cars are inside the petrol tank and if it is malfunctioning the mechanic should open the fuel tank. Malfunctioning of fuel pumps in Ford Cars is not a rare case. The fuel pump will not be very expensive but you will have to pay a higher labour charge to replace it. It is my personal experience few years back. Performance other than this was ok for me. It will be better to ask a mechanic about Ford.

Yes I am buying it new My Sense. Out of curiosity what model/year do you have?

And do you think Taurus is worth the extra 20k QR over the Fusion?

Brake pads after five years? That's unique.

My car is ford and performance wise in general its amazing! Now about your worries for maintenance, parts are quiet expensive but they are original ofcourse, in alamana motors at 24th street industrial area.Now if you are buying new one, no need for you to worry about parts, maybe after 5 years, then you will start to replacing some parts like brake pad, shock absorbers, tie rod end, axle or maybe engine/ gear mounting. It will defend also how will you used your car in your daily route.
