Very, very different. Remember when Fords were bulletproof reliable? Say that in the States and you'd get laughed out of the room. And that's one of their own companies lol

I've owned lots of Fords in the US over the years and there's nothing worse about them than any other manufacturer as a general rule.

Sure, there are exceptions and people will always take their own anecdotal experiences to heart as indicative of larger problems as a whole with a manufacturer but they make fine vehicles.

In fact, one of my current vehicles is a 2011 Escape that I've had for years and I've got no major problems with or complaints about it.

My Ford, every year since 2015, there's a new recall where I had to bring it back to a dealership. I think in 2019, there were two of them.

I don't have any experience with other manufacturers, but if this is the state of car ownership... fuck that.
