Probably The Best Car Ford Ever Made — Japanese refinement and American luxury and comfort all in one package. Its a fast hug curving car that you can take for a long trip because its real comfortable, and its beautiful, it turns heads. And you can find these cars for real cheap.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Great First Car — I bought this car for my daughter to drive to high school because I had heard of it's safe handling and good mpg. A plus we discovered was the huge trunk space made by the hatchback. It had 91,000 miles when we bought it, and we had very few repairs over the years. It had superb handling and good performance. After my daughter purchased her own car, I drove it until 250,000 miles before the ignition switch wore out and I have not repaired it. It was a comfortable car to drive, but the back seats were more suited to children. Over 11 years and 160,000 miles we only replaced the radiator and alternator. The gas mileage was always around 32 mpg. A fun car to drive, with great styling.

Cheap All Around. — I got this car not of my own will, but it was my first car, so I dealt with it. In the year and a half I owned the car it had to go into the shop at least 6 times for all sorts of issues ranging from broken AC/Heaters to a mysteriously missing alternator belt(!). The car did have quite a large trunk beings how it was a liftback, making about half of the car truck space and if you ever needed more, you could always fold down the back seats. Given it's horsepower, or lack-there-of, it was a decently nimble car that could get up and go all the way to it's top speed. Of 95 MPH. Which was only achieved a few times. Overall, I can't say I'm sad that I no longer own the car, in fact, it was pawned off to some scrap yard, upon whose arrival the engine ceased to start.

Kicken — Sweet power, sweet torque, sounds like a V8, 3.0L ford aluminum block V6, possiblility of supercharger. like the creature comforts, power seats, power seat belts, digital dash sweet but analog tachs are better. pop up headlights still work, sunroof, 4 wheel disc, premuim sound system no need for new speakers, awful reliabilty had to tear out the fuel rail, upper manifold, injectors, fuel pump, fought half a year to get it running considering we didn't know what was wrong and got it for free from people at my church after they had replaced trans and engine.
