Ouzo

As a long term satisfied Holden owner. I have always been skeptical about the quality of Fords. Often been tempted over the years to move to the dark side but a new model Commodore and my bias against Ford was always enough to keep me with Holden.
Loved the Territory when I saw it but was very equivocal about the Ford quality - particularly on a brand new type of vehicle. Nonetheless, the Terri conveted me that my next vehicle would be an AWD wagon. Aventura a joke, Outback too small, Kluger and Prado seriously considered but just didn't do it for me. So with some nervousness aI took the plunge on Territory. After 4 months of ownership I am delighted with Ford. The quality on mine is easily as good as what I was used to with Holden. Build quality probably not yet up to Toyota's standard but its a much nicer vehicle than any comparable Toyota. The interior has a genuine "quality feel" about it whereas the Toyotas felt cheap and nasty.
Quality's not just about reliability and build quality. My work colleague with an an XC90 had a similar anti Ford bias but even he now agrees that he wasted $30,000 on the Volvo when my fully optioned Ghia is probably a better all round vehicle.
