I had two focuses and both transmissions went out. My step sister has an '03 and it's caused her some problems, but it also has 230,000 miles on it.
I have a '03 taurus now and my dad has put more money into repairs than we paid for it... Two new batteries, water pump, ball joints, 5 new tires (have you ever had 2 flat tires in one day? It is not fun. Especially when you've used all of your AAA's for the year), the door panel fabric is coming off on the inside, my air conditioning knob broke off, when it rains my windshield leaks and the passenger side of my floorboard floods (apparently that's a ford problem?), and I get terrible gas mileage.
I really don't recommend fords from my experiences....
My mom drove a Kia Sedona for about 4 years and it had almost 200,000 miles on it when she traded it in. We never had any major problems with it and it drove really smooth.
She drives a 2010 Mercedes m-class right now and my only complaint is she refuses to let me drive it. It's so perfect! Except sometimes the radio randomly turns off and resets itself, but after leaving it at the dealership for 2 weeks and they couldn't find a problem we just decided that was okay.
My dad drives a PT cruiser and he loves it. He gets pretty good gas mileage and he has almost 300,000 miles on it!
