Stay away from the 2013 Fords, they have major transmission issues. Stick with Toyota.

Fords are great cars. I have had many and Toyotas too. He is right to make sure you avoid the bad transmissions on several models ask the dealers and check the internet for bad models. The manual models are fine just avoid the automatics.

    My car is in the shop, ! I hope I don't need a whole new transmission. If it is low on oil is that something that would make the car not really move to protect the engine?
