i have always dealt fords and so have my parents and we have never had any problem with ford productions(but we have always brought them brand-new), we have been able to put a lot of miles on our fords. My mom even had a 89mercury cougar which she brought brand new and she just got rid of it with 319,887miles on it. so i don`t care what anybody says about the fords, i like them .i`ve always been taught that any car that u take care of, it will take care of u. but in this case even though i don`t care a thing about VW`s if i were u i would trade it in and get a newer one just like the guy was saying before me. simply because i heard that by 2008 or 09 that they will be discontinuing
the freestyle.so because of that i would stick to the jetta wagon. but now they said in the news, that mercury will be coming out with another car that will have the same body style as the freestyle it is called Mercury Meta One.it will be coming out either by the end of 2008 or in the beginning of 2009. so just look into it.
and if that is too long to wait just an updated VW.

No, you're insane.
Ford builds garbage and the TDI is the best engine Volkswagen makes. You are crazy if you do that. You are going to miss that 47 MPG when gas prices spike and you will miss quality German engineering when you see how stupidly designed that Ford is.
If you need a bigger car, get a Passat wagon or something. Anything but American crap like the Ford. Seriously man. Volkswagen isn't the most reliable car in the world, but I don't think Ford has ever sold a model that hasn't had at least 20 recalls in it's first year.

Go for the newer car. The Ford Focus is a very reliable car, however it suffers from an image thing and the resale value makes it a great buy. The five year difference in the age will make the Ford the best choice all the way. VW Golf's did not have a wonderful reputation either, but manage to hold on to a bit of their value longer.

unless you are having problems with you VW or the miles are getting too high - keep it! VW are superior to FORD

No Way.. keep the deisel 50 miles per gallon...the may not have much get up and go, but you will get 500,000 miles out of a diesel...never get that from a gas engine.

trade a very reliable quality vehicle with much higher trade and resale value for one produced by a company whose stock has plummeted to eight dollars a share because they can't manage their company and their transmissions explode? I don't think so.
