I hate to say this, but to put it into perspective.

You did put the car into the ditch..

The body crumpling, and the suspension bits bending weren't ford's fault.

So what other problems have you had with the car that's ford's fault?

The tranny? That could have suffered blunt force trauma in the accident as well (it is an auto, right?).

I'm sorry to hear about your situation, but in Ford's defence, I don't think they designed the car as a multiple-impact device. Which means that stuff is bound to break if the car isn't kept on the road.

I'm glad they're fixing it under warranty.

As far as loaners go, you probably don't want one. The last one I got from the dealership had a $2,000 deductable. If I smucked up their pretty little hybrid escape, I would have wished I just bought another car.

And let's be honest people, cars are going to break.. stuff happens.

I'm surprised that we're offering buying advice to other people based on the experience of the vast minority and without a full picture. We might as well go tell prospective focus owners to ask a honda board's advice on the focus... because we're sure as hell not forming very educated opinions here are we?
