2016 S 2.5l. Still going strong, Zeibarted no rust. I love the 16" tires pricewise when it comes time for new ones. Only thing is Ruby Red, my insurance full coverage cost more than our plain White 2021 Escape. We hit a deer once and the body man said it is a 3 coat paint and that's why your insurance is expensive.

Love my 2016 2.5l as well.

Probably my favorite version

I love my 2014 2.5l also the design hasn't aged Ford nailed it. I like the Fusions more than the Taurus

My condolences OP - everyday I live in fear of mine being totaled

If not for the sedan req -i love the wagon more than any other American car of the past 40 years....

Cadillac CTS/ATS/CT5

The V versions if your feeling the need for a more sporty/faster car

American-MADE: Lexus ES, Toyota Avalon, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Acura TLX.

American brand: Buick LaCrosse (2017-2020), Buick Regal Sportback, Ford Fusion (2013-2020), Ford Focus (2012-2018, manual transmission only), Cadillac CT5. (Most of these are also American-made)

Cadillac CT5 V Blackwing

Crown Vic or a Town Car.  

Camry and Accord are actually made in America.

The last sedan from an American brand is Cadillac and Tesla.

Honorable mention for the Chevy SS here, have owned a shit ton of cars and my SS is my favorite DD.

This car saved Ford as they were losing money. 2. This goes to show when a car company puts their minds into building a car that is revolutionary this is what happens. A game changing car like the Taurus and Sable. 3. It might not be saying much now but this is when I believe that Ford became the best automakers (of the big 3) in the USA, surpassing GM. When I was growing up my neighbor was a Chevy man. In 1987 he and his wife bought a Taurus. When they switched to Ford I knew it was over for gm. To this day GM or Chrysler could never make a car remotely close to what the Taurus was. Since 1987 my neighbor has owned 3 Fords and now drives a Honda Accord (only because his son works for a Honda dealership).

The 95' Taurus SHO was an awesome sleeper

I love the Taurus. All generations. From this one, the bean, to the latest design.

This was the Toyota Camry of the 90's. They were everywhere. Everyone had one.

I really like Ford vehicles but their build quality sucks on most vehicles right now. They’re working on improvements but it’s recall after recall currently.

I’ve found that historically the best vehicles Ford makes are the one’s they’re actually passionate about. F-Series and Mustang are the two nameplates that are the most reliable and probably the best that they make. They define Ford’s image so they are laser-focused on getting these right.

As for other vehicles? They just care about turning a profit so many of them are not well made and don’t perform as well. Just look at a Ford Escape. It’s an ok vehicle, but there is nothing outstanding about it. And there’s been several recalls on it and other models like the Explorer.

Stick to a model that Ford cares about getting right. F-Series, Bronco, and Mustang are the ones in the US at least they have the most passion for. Even then, the Bronco has had lots of quality issues.

I had a relative who worked at Ford, and his words about their cars were "garbage, all garbage! Except the F150, we put a lot of resources into that line."

Mustang Mach E GT

Are you dead set on a Ford?

We have a 2015 Ranger Wildtrak and absolutely love it, but we need a second car. Definitely considering getting another one. 😂

The Fiesta ST MK7 is a master piece.

I remember the Contour

An excellent piece! Had the US counterpart.

ah yes,the contour

What a beauty of a performance sedan!

Ford is no longer making sedans? I find that hard to believe.

It has always been unwise to buy a Ford sedan. Get yourself a Toyota, Honda, Mazda, or Subaru.

Designed by Mazda, built by Kia, sold by Ford. I always wanted one in yellow.

Unpopular opinion but I love this car everyone on this sub would also love.

I like it in the idea that anyone could go to their local domestic brand dealer and come home with a quality Japanese designed car.

Now u go to a ford dealer asking for a nice Japanese car and they call you names and throw pens at you

And “Election”

I saw a pic of someone who turned one into a riding lawnmower. Looked kind of cool

Mid Michigan has a crazy amount of Flex's still on the road. 

They must have been one of the most reliable vehicles Ford has made in the last couple decades.

It was so good, Hyundai made one and called it the Santa Fe.

Buy Volvos. They’re boxy but they’re good. We know they’re not sexy. This is not a smart time to be sexy anyway, with so many diseases around. Be safe instead of sexy. VOLVO. Boxy, but Good.

I have one and love it. If Ford announced a new one I’d be slapping a deposit on that bad boy tomorrow, provided they didn’t make it an EV or whatever

We love our 19 Flex! There is so much comfort and utility to it. And it's nice driving something a bit different than all the other SUV blobs out in the market these days.
