How does the cost to purchase compare with a same vintage Honda Civic?
I don't know what it is like where you folks are, but around here a
Ford of any sort will depreciate much faster than a Honda and the
Honda will be pretty bullet proof for a lot of miles.
Based upon that, if I could buy a Honda for similar money up front, I
would go with it as it will likely be worth more in a few years time
than the Ford.

Around here Hondas cost more than an equivalent size Ford and don't
get close to the same fuel mileage. Grand daughter has an Accord that
she's been happy with for 4 or 5 years. I drove it but didn't like
it. Honda was once a reliability champ but lately they have slipped,
or so I've read.
I've looked at Hondas and Toyotas and I'm not happy with the local
dealers whose salesmen feel they are doing you a favor by waiting on
you. Son bought a Ford (I forget the name) hybrid two years ago and
he's racked up about 60K miles with no repairs. He averages about
37-43 mpg but it's a heavier car.

My wife has a 2007 Honda Accord with the 4 cylinder. Not sure exactly
what the fuel mileage is as I don't drive it and she does not bother to
keep track.
We bought it used with about 23K miles on it and have done nothing apart
from change the oil so far as I can recall. She loves it. I think it was
only about a year old when we got it.
