Had a family member ask me what veicle I would recommend under 30k for their adult child. Also asked if there was anything from Ford I would recommend. Told them I really had no idea and that due to all Ford's quality problems, I couldn't even recommend any of our products out of concern they get caught with a lemon. Jeeze what the heck do any of us recommend anymore.

Mazda3 in one of the lower trims
Hands down the most reliable car is Fred Flintstones' Footmobile Car.
@1trn+1qBxwmAm I also thought about the Maverick, but is not free of recalls.
Maverick is a pretty decent vehicle
