Interestingly, I'm all Ford now.

'92 Mustang
'03 Escape
'12 Transit Wagon
'13 Escape SEL

Prior to all this I was a big GM man. First, Olds 442 then anything Chevy. Then, that whole gov bail out really rubbed me the wrong way.

I'm happy to have my new found respect for the blue oval.

Who's with me?

I'm partial to anything with a sweet body and a big engine. I've had camaros, t/a's, and mustangs. I love them all. settled on the mustang because it was the only toy I could think of with a back seat large enough for a kiddie seat.
 
I don't know about a fleet.....does 4 vehicle constitute a fleet? I have 9 FoMoCo vehicles:
1966 T-bird
1981 Fairmont
1988 Grand Marquis
1989 Saleen
1994 Topaz
1998 Escort ZX2
2001 Mustang
2001 F-250 Superduty 4x4
2008 Bullitt
 
Picks or I call you a fibber!

We like it. If we had a second chance we would not choose Mytouch. It's kind of quirky sometimes. Built in nav is quirky sometimes too. I love TomTom.

Maybe they fixed the bugs, I dont know. Do some research.

The standard sync system I have in my Transit has been flawless.
 
Update. I retract my earlier criticism of Ford My Touch. We just installed an update to the software and its been flawless so far.

We ended up saving quite a few bucks and buying an 2013 Escape SE over the Titanium that we had earlier looked at. Alot less bells and whistles but a very nice ride for sure. It has the 1.6 Ecoboost instead of the 2.0. I thought I would be disappointed but I'm pleasantly surprised at the power it has. I agree that torque steer could be a real mess without the traction control when you nail it off the line. That little SUV will fly for such a small displacement engine and the 6 speed tranny is almost seamless. I enjoy playing with the manual shift "sport" mode.
But the most important thing is the wife is happy with her new DD.

And my proudest purchase. Picked up this 92 460 2wd F250 for $800 with only 101,000 miles. I put the bull bar and wheels on it of course. All it needed was a computer :p

Oh and the Mustang but I have enough pics of it floating around here that I don't think I need to upload a pic of it lol. But I'm definitely proud to have only Fords in my "fleet"
 
Im sorry you bought a transit lol... i used to work at ford and i drove them all the time and it was the biggest pile of crap ive ever driven..

To each's own. I have no complaints about my Transit. It serves the purposes I bought it for very well. I would by it again. I hear they had made improvements to them over time. Maybe you were dealing with the earlier ones?

BTW, there's no need for you to be sorry on my behalf.
