Very fun car to drive.
Pretty roomy for a hatch. (have a friend that is 6'-7" he fits in one)
Tranny's in the svt are pretty solid.
They handle very well.
And I agree most Fords are a pos' but the svt focus doesn't really fall in that line. It is more European than anything.
So how about the new Pontiac G8?
What do you guys think about that?
G8.........(drools) id love to have a G8 GXP...0-60 in 4.7 sec., 402 hp., 4020lbs (lil on the heavy side) but still one bad a$$ "family car"
yea i stoped by and looked at one the other day. NICE, made my 04 gtp look like crap. very nice looking car
your 04 isnt crap be thankful u have it instead of a ford..... lol
i would greatly take a cobra :) and i had a 89 ranger that i drove into the ground and it never gave me any troubles. you are going to have to try a little harder than that :)
My first vehicle was an 1989 Ranger. It was 4x4, extended cab, had the 2.9L V6 and 5 speed tranny. Man that thing was fun. I drove it pretty hard and it kept chugging along. It wasn't great on power or gas but it was a blast to drive.Quote:

no car manufacturer as a whole is crap, i respect all, but every single one has made a few bad choices, but they all have their strengths and weaknesses, it just so happens that you had a pos, or when you bought it it was already dogged out, broncos for the most part are very reliable, not too sure about the bronco 2's though, but im lookin to buy one before winter, or a k5 blazerQuote:

that is one bad ass car, i looked at one the other day too, and omg gm did good with that, hopefully it depreciates like the grand prixs did so i can buy one in a couple of years, i bought a 04 grand prix gt 2 yrs ago with 78k for 8k and i loved it until the power steering shaft broke trying to power slide itQuote:

i see them all the time out here in colorado for 1000-2500 in good condition with the 4wd still working i would only buy one with a 350 though, and the same with the bronco i would only get one with a 351Quote:

lol i dont know what i was thinking, i was playing around with my other car at the time which was a 05 tiburon se and i let my friend drive it, and believe it or not my tiburon with 172hp and 181tq killed my GPQuote:

My cousin has a Ranger and I am not sure what year it is but it is one of the first years they had the Ranger. It is the 4 cylinder and that thing is so much fun to drive. We have beat the crap out of it and it comes back for more. He can squeal the tires pretty easily on it too.Quote:
