is the one your looking at a 2.5L duratec or 2.0L zetec. the duratec is the most common.
I have a zetec cougar and its got 260K on it and have no issues. The alternator issue doesnt carry on to the zetec cougar.
and according to my dad, ford is the best and the other names are crap....its all personal preferance and brand loyalty for the most part
