i personally say neither. unless you're a "Ford guy", you'd probably be much happier in the long-run with something from Germany.
Yeah but when something goes wrong with a kraut wagon it usually costs you an arm and a leg.
Not so. I have a 325e sedan & parts are not very expensive, considering its a German car. Wiper linkage $12, oil filter $5, etc. If you do repair work yourself, they can be a bargain.
When you get into the heavy duty stuff like my drive shaft - $600 new, $400 for a re-man, but hell by that time the car will be long paid off. 170,000 miles on mine for that repair.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

It costs just about the same as our wonderfully built Fords. Five $100 repairs per year is the same as one $500 per year.
Just buy a Nissan.
