>No one trusts Ford Sedans over here for some reason
From my personal observation: poor maintenance and safety ratings compared to alts. Driving is dangerous in America and you have to have a car to participate economically in most of the country. Also, the used market here is huge and not a lot of 90s/2000s Ford sedans made it this far.
Anyone who knows better, feel free to correct.
- dragontamer 5y ago> poor maintenance and safety ratings compared to alts Ford Focus beat the pants off of Honda Fit, roughly in the same category of weight (though the Honda Fit is quite a bit cheaper MSRP, the Ford Focus was frequently on sale at quite low prices). But people _believe_ the Honda Fit has superior maintenance and safety ratings. So that's that. Reputation is more important than facts.
- bsanr2 5y agoWhat? The Focus is a compact car and competes with the Civic. They've traded rankings over the years, but the Focus isn't a clear winner. The Fit is in a different class (a subcompact that competed with the Ford Fiesta), and in any case, I was thinking of the Corolla - which is far-and-away better-rated - and of larger sedans.
