We traded in a Mazda 626 last year with 260,000 miles on it. We bought an '02 Ford Ranger (with which we are well pleased), but when we're again in the market for sedans we're definitely going foreign. I'll buy all the Ford Trucks they make, but as for anything else, they can just forget it.

The Ford/Mazda combination has been a good one. I think Ford uses Mazda transmissions on their mid-size cars and light trucks/SUVs.

I've got a 1994 Ford SUV with 190,000+ miles on it. No problems whatsoever, and any mechanic who works on it says it is still just a baby.
