I had a 2004 Taurus as my daily driver. I started hearing something rolling around in the headliner, assumed it was a loose screw and thought I’d mention it next time I took it in for an oil change. Shortly after that I started seeing kernels of corn inside the front dome light above the rear view mirror. Okay, that’…

The Euro version of the Escape, the Kuga, can be ordered with a 6-speed manual.

“Well, Ford did come up with this in 1999, circular opera window on the hardtop à la TC, the original 1955 Thunderbird no less.”
