    Why do people say Fords are unreliable? They are one of most reliable and durable cars on the road and rarely see them broken down. VW and other German cars seem to fail more often

    Got a 2007 1.25 with 161k miles so far, getting a new clutch tomorrow since it's just barely started to slip. It's still got the factory clutch and that's had.... more than it's fair share of burnouts and hard driving haha. Only mechanical problem I had was the head gasket went, but 700 quid and 8k miles later and it's still running mint. Most solid car I've seen with my own eyes and real cheap to repair too, see them all the time on the road still.

      Several cars around this era where particularly robust.
      IMHO this was the tipping point when technology was robust and reliable and before too much technology was added to meet spurious EU Emissions rules.
      The Astra 1.6 and 1.8 petrols around the same time, Focus petrols, Mondeo petrols.
      All cheap and robust.
      Simple times.
      The interiors of Fords of this era where also almost indestructible .

      I currently drive a 2005 three door fiesta 1.6 litre 5 speed manual with 312,000kms on the clock and it’s a wonderful little car!
      I got the car in 2019 and only payed $800aud for it, the car had 214,000kms on it at that time.
      It’s starting to cost more to maintain now but I love the car so much! I plan on driving it for as long as I can.
      My goal is to get to at least 500,000kms with this car. I’d say so far my car is one of the highest kilometre fiestas in Australia.
      Fiestas the same age as mine are starting to become something you don’t see often here so I’d love to keep the car going and maybe start taking it some all ford shows when I have done some body work and tidied it up a tad.
      Fiestas are awesome!

      All that I have thrown in to keep her going, I know one day she's going to die on me, and I am planning on upgrading soon before she does eventually start going.
      Would be a shame it's been a great little car to have, generally affordability to run and for parts.
      So easy to handle and stays with the road, Swings well round corners. Being a 1.2, though, takes a while to build up speed along motorways or A roads but does get there.

      Agree, we dont get to many issues with punters coming back if we do, we can normally sort them out and most are very understanding and work with us to resolve. you get the odd one who can be troublesome and thinks we knew all a long that the battery may die in the remote fob 6 weeks later but i bite my lip😁 . If they are really giving us problems over a genuine issue and not working with us its just simple refund, sort and sell to someone else. been doing this to many years to get bogged down with customers who will never be happy with a car no matter how much you do for them. Like I said most are sound, thanks for watching Mandy and have a great Christmas

    Got to be honest, Lee. I'm curious to see how badly thrashed that Honda Jazz (re-named "Fit" in America) happens to be that it's beyond saving. Recently discontinued here, I tend to recommend that model to folks who want a reliable, small, used car. But can't afford a used Civic or Corolla with anything close to decent mileage on one.
