I know car magazines love to hate this car but I don't get it. Bought my '10 in '11 as a cheap gas saver and i've been very happy with it. The 2.0 4 cylinder isn't crazily fast but it easily keeps up to speed on the highway and averages 34/35 mpg. I'd like it to have another gear and be a bit quieter but overall this is a great car for the money. I take it toi the dealer for the recommended 7.5k services and it's never cost me more than $45. I'll just keep rolling on...
How many more will she go

When I got my car, it had 45,000 miles. It now has 108,000. Other than brakes and tires being replaced which is a given for any car, the only other thing that I ever had to replace was the rear shocks. It has 108,000 miles and so far I havent had any issues knock on wood. Hopefully it stays that way for a while

Overall excellent fun durable reliable car. Good in snow, MPG, comfortable, features like manual / heated seats-mirrors, tilt steering, traction control that were hard to get at this price with others. It still runs so well but I look after it. I do some rough back roads in snow as well. It has been very inexpensive to maintain and runs very well up to 374,000 kms. I think I will see 500k. Only weak and sore point was paint coming off at C-pillar and rocker panels ( like most others I see ) that began at only 62k. No help. These rotted out as everyone knows. I did a cheap fix-- looks rough but works for me. Thermostat repair 700 , Master cylinder 800. Motor mounts done improve shaking Rest of body good. I have become very attached to this car as it is awesome in winter. And to think Ford says cars are end of line with them now lol. I can get over 50 mpg ( imperial ) on highway 80 to 90 kms/ hr Repairs when needed can be pricey as ford makes things difficult . Such a reliable daily driver still. Note manual tranny. Still daily driver and dependable at 464k. Some minor emissions codes. Working on that. Did dreaded PCV valve at 200 bucks-- shame on ford. These minor repairs cost double or more of a corolla. The latter will affect my decisions in future. 481,000 kms. Engine runs strong. Did my own valve cover gasket as oil was in spark plug holes. Had a look at piston heads while in there and they were shiny and smooth. Some knocks and rattles in front end but I will check bushings etc.. Everything works. Needs a clutch as it is slipping in 5th. Only the manual shift lasts this long I think. Underbody pretty good other than tin foil rocker panels that are gone. Re- paired rust hole over fender. I swear the car will go another 200k if I fix clutch ( 1,600 bucks hmm )

I bought the car new in 2010 and have averaged 39.5 mpg for the 50K miles it's been driven (about 38mpg during the summer with the air on). I bought it for the mileage and features, which I'm satisfied with, but the tire noise and constant rotation is a pain. I just noticed that my drivers side front tire has worn bald on the inside and taking it in for new front tires. After every rotation, the tire noise got a little worse. There is a class action law suit in Calf. for this problem.
