Maybe jeff just has very low standardswell bully for you jeff but i dont think the op is looking for self congratulatory stories.
Suppose I've been lucky in recent years but two come to mind:
A troublesome Fiesta (only 6 years old) had many niggling electrical/electronic faults. ECU replaced three times. My irritation was compounded by the fact that a lot of these faults were apparently well known but the garage pleaded ignorance.
The car actually left me completely stranded in very bad weather on three occasions.
As a result, I've been wary of Ford & their dealers.
Further back, a Renault 5. Well where do you start? Every day was a surprise really - if there wasn't an unusual smell, sound or reaction from the car it was a good day. Again, it wasn't an old car in it's day.
Have never even considered a French car since - not entirely unwise methinks.
As a result of experiences like this, I now only ever consider cars with an excellent reliability record - and in fact will sacrifice looks, space, comfort...almost anything so as not to compromise on this.
both bulbs having been changed in previous couple of weeks!
I'm right there with Cavaet.... wouldn't touch Ford again after buying a mutt of a Fiesta. Car was 2 years old, and first year went fine, after that in the space of 8 months it was in the garage 6 times! All problems that arise turned out to be known issues.
Bulbs constantly blew, in fact finally decided the end was nigh the Jan night both bulbs blew, on my way home - had to drive on full beams to get the 30 miles home.... both bulbs having been changed in previous couple of weeks! Took next day off, car went to garage to check out electrics, I went to credit union and was driving a Yaris a week later!
Having driven the Yaris for 4 years there was never any issue with it, a nice change from being on first name terms with the staff at the garage!
I'll stick with Japanese from now on!
Do u not find the yaris a very light car. My first car was peugeot 106 97 model and no power steering am now looking for new car and was recommended either the fiesta or yaris. I test drove my friends yaris and thought it felt v light so am now more inclined towards the fiesta.
