I also had a 1995 Ford Escort I drove almost 222,000 miles.  I only got rid of it because it was costing me too much to get it through inspection each year.

I’ve owned a Dodge, a Chevy and several Fords.  None were diesel because I don’t need one.  If I towed or hauled often I would have a diesel.  Each brand served me well and they all lasted until I got tired of them.  My current truck is a 1/2 ton Ford with a twin turbo V6.  It actually can haul or tow more than the 1/2 ton V8.  If I drive the speed limit and don’t get on the turbos it will get 26 mpg on the highway.  I had a beast once when I needed one but I don’t enjoy driving one of those on a daily basis.
