The only people that say that are the ones that don't know how to repair them.

LOL. The transmission does have an aftermarket work around (but most people
don't fix what isn't broken yet) and to avoid the head gasket problem you can
stick with the 3L engine. The DPFE is a problem on almost all 96+ Fords and
some Mazdas. Ford does have a updated part to deal with this issue and if
repaired under warranty it will save you about $150-$200.


Unresolved transmission/head gasket/ DPFE problems aren't enough to
bump it off of 'great car status'?
