I can.... :)
9 year old Taurus with the 3.0L Vulcan, AX4N transmission, 100k miles.
My most expensive repair? A noisy idler pulley. Total repair cost has been $200 over 9 years. Its never failed to start, its never stalled out, its never left me stranded anywhere. Trans pan was spotless on the last fluid change and the dino oil comes out looking almost good as new every 3k.
Great. Let's have a competition, then.
I'll take my Chevy (with a GM engine) and you can have your Ford with whatever hamster and wheel propulsion system they use. We'll drive the vehicles hard, practically abusing the hell out of them, and keep them running for a year without any scheduled maintenance.
I'll guarentee you that when all is said and done, my GM engine will still be running a good six months after your Ford engine has given up the ghost.
