I still think that when you shut the door on a Ford it's quite different to the likes of BMW, Audi, VW etc.....
Yep you got a good car Nick, it does have a good felling of quality.

I know what you mean on shutting the doors and it does sell cars, but I do think the Fords have a feeling of equal quality to what you mention - especially now on newer Fords, quality is really good (I am a fan). But even so, the feeling is insignificant, what really matters is the door will open and shut properly on demand for years and years which they do. Whereas before my dad semi-retired he used to do the welding in the area for various dealerships and he had a brand new, unregistered Fiat in which had a hinge welding break he had to repair!!! terrible car.
