American Made cars Vs Chinese/Japnese made Car Which Ones better?

Okay so in my life I've heard things about American made cars like Ford Chrysler Dodge etc… That those cars aren't really made to last long since most of the time there are always breaking down and I remember my father having a van Ford its was beautiful but the car had a couple of problems like the tranny and axels and always stuff happening to the car that he ended up paying almost 1500 dollars in less than a year with the car. But people tell me great reviews on cars like Honda, Nissian, Mitsubishi etc… That these cars last forever and parts aren't expensive and the parts last longer than the American made cars and I can honestly say that's almost the truth to me since I've been around people with those types of cars and they usually never break down if they taken car right. Like my sister she doesn't change her oil doesn't do nothing to her car to maintain it and its still driving pretty good. It's a Nissian pathfinder btw.Cars of those orgins usually from Japan and China. So my question is American car or a Japanese or Chinese made Car for a first car?

Can I get a loan with ford?

My credit score is 580 Equifax and 592 transunion. I was curious if ford would possibly give me an auto loan with my credit score like that. I have nothing bad on my credit report. I've made payments on time. And I'm also eligible for the first time buyers program. Also I've heard that ford is very lieient with their customers in giving them auto loans. Will I be able to get an auto loan with my credit score like that?

Would a 03 marauder differential fit a 97 town car?

I'm having some differential problems with grinding at low rpms and uphill so I'm looking to replace it, but I was hoping I could throw a diff from a mercury marauder in for that extra torque and to eliminate the ford one wheel drive dilemma. Would this be possible/cost effective?

Is it me, or are the acceleration and break pedals very sensitive in a driving school car?

I had my first driving lesson with an actual instructor this week and I was very surprised on how sensitive the gas and break pedals were. I have driven my fathers Ford Windstar and it was completely easy and I got the hang of it after 20 minutes. The driving school car was an early 2000s Hyundai and it just seemed too sensitive. I thought It was because I was nervous (Wasn't panicking or anything. Instructor said I was really calm for my first time), but In order to gain momentum, i had to move my foot like 3cm for it to not accelerate too fast. Are cars from Driving schools this sensitive or do I just have a heavy foot? If so, how can I change my foot technique?

93 ford e150 won't shift into 4th gear?

I have a 1993 ford e150 that I recently discovered won't shift into 4th gear. I figured it out after counting the gears when I noticed it was revving unusually high at 65mph (normal highway speed limit in my area) I checked the transmission fluid and it seemed to be at the right level. Could my transmission be going bad? It only has 147,000 miles on it. It sat in a lot for years before I bought it Any advice is appreciated.
