I dont care about the 'numbers', I could fawken care less about what JD power has to say, these guys are the same people that gave the focus car of the year in 00. They know nothing, its all about who's paying off who, and that's it. I laughed my ass off at that comment of yours. You need the head on your shoulders old man.
If my focus was built like my suby, you bet I would be singing a different tune about it. I speak from real world experience, not this magazine racing s***.

You may not agree(and at times neither do I) with the stats of JD Powers, Consumer Reports, etc. but alot of people do look at these numbers before purchasing a car.
And I don't see any magazines with the name look at what Flo thinks in the title.
Your Suby was how much new? 30k ish? And the Focus was 16k ish? Yeah, that's a close comparison.

Im just saying, Subaru has a better track record than Ford, that is all.
Those people that listen to JD power(aka, you) are making a huge mistake. I made that mistake already, and paid the price, hopefully your not going to make the same mistake. If you havent realized its whoever pays the price to get their names in these magazines/awards, then I really cant help you at all.
Its too bad I dont have a magazine, I'd have a lot of good advice for people looking for cars. REAL world advice.
Not this 'Well JD power says this is the engine of the year, theres no way it can be dropping motor mounts with only 20k on it, JD power said so!!!"
Didnt subaru get engine of the year from JD power? The new 09 265's are dropping like flies with engine failures. Seriously, take your JD power with a grain of salt. There in it for money, not to look out for consumers.
Two thumbs down for magazine racers. :rolleyes:
