I purchased the Tracer with Trio package as original owner. With 32,000 miles on it it's only been in the shop once (heater had to be replaced -- under warranty). I purchased this car to go back and forth to the train, it was inexpensive too. However, after owning it for almost 5 years I've found it fun to drive. It handles well, has plenty of pep to get off the line or accelerate on the highway. It handles well, all in all it's been a fun car to drive. Mileage has been good, running in the 25-28 mpg range. It's been reliable and economical to own. My son just started driving and he wanted my car. So it has some eye appeal to boot.
great until it died

Bought my tracer in 2004 with 54K miles. It's very basic but was good for local running around. Mileage was about 24 city, 29 hiway. Took good care of it. Mystery problems began at about 100K miles - engine light would go on, codes were checked (minor stuff) and fixed, engine light would stay off for one day or one week (never knew what to expect). Thought it might be the ECM, but it wasn't. About 2 weeks ago it died - valve seat problem. RIP, it was good while it lasted.

My Daughter was hit "Head on" by another driver going 60 MPH. She walked away with scrapes and bruises. The Air Bag and vehicle design Saved her young Life. God Bless the engineers at Ford Motor Company. It really does work. Excuse me I need to go buy another Ford Car...
No surprises here!

i don't know why people insist on downplaying all american models when compared to foreign models. this thing is zippy for 110hp and this car has given me no problems other than routine maintenance and parts are dirt cheap. bought at 35k and now 80k solid as a rock - a real road trip car. if you have a kid going to college, make this a grad gift.
