Hi Vern,

Get this.

I was always a little disgruntled because the thing showed 40 miles on the odometer when it was "brand new" and I knew that it had set in their showroom for at least 6 months. I just figured that there had been a lot of folks who had "tried it out".

Well, come to find out, there is a sticker in the glove box that said that the unit had been randomly pulled off the assembly line for a quality control test drive and this was the reason for the miles showing. Hmmm, okay.

From day one, the whole car vibrated like a jack hammer and dived towards the ditch if you let loose of the steering wheel.

A new set of tires cured that problem; 3 were square.

Then, the biggest problem was the left sliding door would not stay closed. Not fun going down the hiway at 65mph and the darned door is wide open.

Long story short, after weeks & weeks of being tied to the hot-line at Ford, it was determined that the forward side door latch was not fully & completely locking. Everything else in the door depends on the "fully latched" front latch to make the rear latch lock into place.

Everything is great now and it is one sweet little ride. It is a tad short of cargo space compared to the FreeStar, but I guess I can live with it.

But darn it! It should be a nice car. When I was 20 years old, I could have bought 2 or 3 irrigated farms for what the these darned things cost nowadays. :>)
