huh i guess thats all ford. their cars are mostly Really Bad though. basically the ones where they kept making the same model for a long rear end time and thats 'good' not Good

Rangers are such crap. Stock engine drives like a big heavy buick. No turning radius for a compact body. Goes out of alignment. Overdrive gear is cool but rarely practical. It's good on hills at about 5mpg, that's about it. :shrug:

I like this this review because I always thought it was a shame that you can't like cool looking fast cars because there's a stigma that you're overcompensating for something. I think Corvettes look cool as hell, but I'd never own one because A. I can't afford it and B. by the time I can I'll be in my prime "Hey look at the guy in his midlife crisis" years.

I own a Ford Fusion. I like it, but I do wish it was a bit zippier coming off the line.

I hear you, but I'm a big guy and it's nice to have people comfortable in the back seat when I'm with friends. I think I just like mid sized sedans. I think if I was rich I'd probably gravitate towards an S7 or a 6 series Gran Coupe.

Edit: Also the RS looks very tuner-y and that's just not my style unless I was in a rally car competition. Apparently there's a twin turbo V6 AWD Fusion now, but that wasn't available when I bought mine.

my first car was a 1993 bonneville, incidentally

the engine was the 3800, one of the only things gm ever got right. the rest of it was a 90's gm car, however, meaning it was kinda constantly falling the gently caress apart in various ways. it did last until 212k miles before i had to get rid of it due to the subframe rotting through.

i went from that to a mazda rx7.

rx7s are cool but doesnt it burn more oil than a two-stroke and you have to replace the rotor tips like every other oil change

DEEP STATE PLOT
Aug 13, 2008

the apex seals only go if you gently caress up or have forced induction. a naturally aspirated rotary that is properly maintained (ie don't overheat it and keep up with the oil) will last as long as any piston engine.

oil consumption is high but hey w/e. the sound and powerband makes up for that.

Meh I have a Dodge, it's an ok car but not anything special.

Biggest problem is it seems to be an open invitation for drive-thru attendants to give me my drink via curveball. I swear I've had the thing two and a half years and I've had drinks literally thrown into my car at least three times.

Saab did some legitimately clever things to make up for their GM hellhole parts bin.

That quirky ignition location? Because they knew about the GM ignition switch poo poo and put it there to avoid straining the bad thing.

Hail satan, as the cool men of AI would say.
