I've driven the new Ford Focus several times as rentals. One was a
brand new one with something like a dozen miles on the odometer and
the other had over 25000 miles. What I noticed was how brilliant the
car was as brand new, but how poorly the car aged. It reminded me of
my 1986 Grand Am. A brilliant car, but by 170k miles, everything fell
apart on it. Even the turn-signal stalk broke. And the seats were
miserable for me after an hour of driving.
