And convert it to rear wheel drive while you're at it.

Exhaust is all done, quiet as a mouse. And I showed some young'uns how to use a hot wrench to make things fit.

A free Focus trumps a new import any day of the week.

I tried with a new 2011 Cruize LTZ. Transmission shifted like ****, started drinking antifreeze at 40,000. Bye... At least it was built in the US
I am trying with a 2013 Ford Explorer. Now with 55k on it the amount of work done to this car is amazing - full brakes twice, rear hub bearings...... It's gonna go soon once Ford finally gets it right at the service bay. Probably hencho en mexico but i have not verified that. First & last Ford for me. (oh, and I am ignoring the carbon monoxide issues that appear to be growing in these...)
Dodge makes zero cars that interest me enough to overlook their high corporate NHV standards.
Meanwhile my 175,000 2005 Pilot keeps moving right along.
Huh. Not sure where to turn.

My 2004 Cavalier with 193K miles has a new exhaust and is quiet as a mouse. Not to say I didn't drive it with a patched up ghetto exhaust. And either way it never let me down. My rarer then free money 1991 Spirit R/T gets driven hard to chit hole North Jersey 5 days a week and beat around on weekends, and it's a great car. A little quirky but I know my way around it enough to keep it going. So? You do what you have to do and I'll do what I have to do. And I don't do Imports. And that makes me feel good. My next car is going to be a Caddy of some sort because I want a rolling Lazy Boy ride.

My 06 Explorer likes brakes because of the stupid invasive AdvanceTrac system (plus my towing) but otherwise no real problems. Surprised the newer one is treating you that way, as I looked into them a lot last year as you know, and in speaking with all the shops around here they have never seen any major problems (although the windshield is very expensive to replace due to the A-pillar design). My mom's Traverse has been great.
