But disliking a manufacturer simply because of the badge is a bit pathetic really, unless you have a valid case (ie. you have owned several cars from that manufacturer and have come to the conclusion that they were all crap).

I had a yellow Fiesta Ghia as my first car and it rusted through before I had even passed my test.

Was a right pile of shit

Some Fords are good, I like the Fiesta RS1800 and the Escort GTi, ST24.

CVH engines are my bad experience, skeleton wanking in a biscuit tin?
