  • The compact cars probably being the Fiesta and the Focus. The Fiesta is almost a perfect vehicle. Small but comfy for four decent sized occupants. Great gas mileage. Super reliable motor (I have one with 219,000 miles that's never even needed a tune-up yet--5 speed manual). They put ultra shitty automatic transmissions in them that failed after 35,000 miles so all the good was nullified by that boneheaded decision. Of course you always run the risk of being turned into a grease pancake by bro-dozers all day every day when driving a car in the US.

  • They went through a period in the 90s where they had a huge leap in quality and almost matched Japanese imports of the time. I'd say GM is the only one who's drivetrain quality is still on any comparable level with Asian imports. Ford gets some parts really right but then their beancounters make really dumb cuts to critical components that make many of their vehicles near lemons. I can't think of a worse car manufacturer in the world right now than Stellantis, and they aren't an American company anyway.
