I would steer well clear. The Duratec 3.0L is a bulletproof engine, the CD4E transmission however (used in the Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute) is a piece of crap. If you do a google search you'll see what I mean.

Buy the Laser...it's a Mazda underneath and you know that means it won't break you financially.

Modern complicated cars are basically a throw away when any major component breaks. While some people don't mind this, myself included, I pick them up cheap and drive them until something worth lots breaks... Others can't afford the outlay every time, and a simple cheap car is what is best. There is an old Gemini in our family that is kept going for about $50 a year. Everyone's situation is different.
