I still prefer this one. I've tried to buy new, I have. But I can't find something I like better. It's not the sexiest car out there, but it's the smart choice. Lots of space, great ergonomics (very important to me), and a good mix of sporty and smooth. I call it the Lead Sled. I think I'll just keep driving it until it gives up.
It's really about safety isn't it? Roll-over protection, SIPS, airbags everywhere, and legendary safety engineered into the structure. Great Dynaudio stereo, too!
They really should have kept the smooth 6-cyl turbo and added the 5-speed trans from the V-8. That would have helped in the MPG dept.
