My wife bought her 03 ZX3 brand new and just lil piddly things that were covered under warranty but nothing major. My brother bought his brand new and about a year later the tranny went out and then I just had to put a new wheel bearing in about a month ago. His car is totally stock and the wife has an intake..exhaust..susp.. and she rips on it pretty good and runs like the day we drove it off the lot.

you just never know with a ford. could be a car that will never give you much trouble. but then again every week something could be breaking on it. just make sure you will be able to use that 100,000mile warrenty. because you will be thanking god it you had it till 100,000. right before the warrenty is up. i would cut all your belts and have them fix/replace everything. and then laugh at them as you peel out of there. screaming im never coming back
