Good running Ford, highly-recommended

Given the bagging you give Ford I think it is time that I let you know how well mine is performing. I bought in brand new 2005 BA Mk II XR-8 six speed manual and in the 90,000 km I have done in it, the only issue has been with the gear stick knob, which was replaced under warranty. I thoroughly recommend to anyone who is looking for value for money to buy a Ford.
