Ford is the best car company these days.
My dad retired from GM Truck & Bus, and I've owned more GM products than all other brands combined, but Ford wins.
Yes. I have owned Japanese and German. Nice cars, but no better than American. It's more hype than anything else. American cars easily compete with foreign these days.
My last few cars have been a Chrysler, a Toyota, a Ford, a Buick, and four Chevy's. I love GM products. Driving a Chevy is like coming home. But my Ford Five Hundred was perhaps the best car I've ever owned. Reliable, comfortable, loaded with amenities, just an all around great car. I love the Suburban I'm driving now, but that Ford had it all together.
I recently rented a Chrysler 300. Overall, I liked it, but the fit and finish was just not up to modern standards. That's entirely inexcusable.
I travel a lot, so I've driven Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Mercedes, BMW...
In the end, I'm still a loyal GM guy. But if I have to make an objective decision, and choose the best over-all brand, it's Ford.
AMEN to this post! Glad you noticed all of the focus Ford is putting on fit & finish. If you ever want to get back into an AMAZING Ford (which by the way has the BEST door trim panels in the world, wink-wink) I can get you the Friends & Family discount.
