How's your Ford Focus?
Did tow a Chevy Sonic behind our Class C but have traded for a slightly used 2017 Ford Focus Titanium Hatchback. It's one of the few newer automatics that can be flat towed. I'm puzzled. Nothing I've ...

My SIL bought a $500 older Focus that had been a company car for two different companys. I could see it had been wrecked and repaired several times.
It had some minor stuff wrong with it (motor mounts, leaking T-stat housinge etc.) along with a busted mirror and a few other little things. It was super easy and cheap to repair. At 150K, it ran perfectly, didn't smoke or use oil.
I was very impressed with it. No Honda or Toyota would do better I think.
Guess you’ve never owned a Honda or Toyota. At 150k they’d be just getting broken in. My last Honda with 190k miles was all original apart from brakes when I traded it. Our last Toyota needed nothing but a battery and power steering line and that was at 240k.
You can keep your rice-a-roni junk. I support American Unionized autoworkers.
Such an informed point of view...:R. Especially when one considers many of them are made in the US or Canada with unionized workers.
We are on our 3rd Honda vehicle (2005 Acura MDX) and it is still as solid today with 130k miles as it was the day it was new. After having a POS Ford 6.0L diesel made by American Unionized Autoworkers I learned it is much better for my pocketbook to buy based on facts rather than emotion.
Merry Christmas!
