Not even gonna dive into the 924, that list will make me cry.
Just would like to thank Ford for making a nice car that has never left me stranded. I find it a BIT disappointing that after a 924 and 944, that not one of them has held up to a “being built Ford tough” standard, and that my ZX2 has actually helped me during the times my 944 was down.
Frustrating. But thanks ZX2, for always coming through
