Looking to buy mainstream passenger car from 95-99 for my everyday use, somehow everyone i asking what make of car should i buy, naming something Japan or German, when i asking how about Ford they say its not reliable and i should avoid it for some reason, however they never name no particular reason.
I am not fan of Ford brand its just cars and parts was way cheaper in Europe (where i used to live) and quality was fine to, but i heard same rumors about how unreliable Fords are back there.

Can someone tell me if there''''s some reason to think that US Fords are worse than European and what models of Ford passenger cars (1990-99) you consider unreliable from your own experience with them?

P.S. By reliability i mean failing rate and maintenence cost, not just safety.

It looks that way. I have a 96 crown vic, 64k miles, serviced at dealer since new and perfectly maintained - a friend''s dad gave it to me after the engine failed. Serendipity I guess, but no engine should fail under 100k in my opinion.
