  • Carlson Fan At home always for the 7 years I've owned my Volt. Never once used a public charger.At 40+ MPG, It's cheaper to just burn gas if I need to get home versus paying the ridiculous rates at a public charger.
  • Deanst I applaud them for trying something different, even if I question its appeal.
  • Wjtinfwb 2 Focus owner, an '03 SVT 3dr. and a '16 ST. Both have been absolutely bulletproof and the '16 is an exceptionally great driving and riding little car. No rattles, squeaks, original brakes at 60k miles and the only replacement part was a new battery in 2019. The SVT was a riot to drive on a good road but a chore in daily commuting, the 2.0 Zetec had to have 5k on the tach to come alive and with the A/C on in Atlanta traffic, it was no fun. But dead nuts reliable in 133k miles and 9 years of ownership. Both had manual transmissions which eliminated the DCT complaint. Find a Focus with a manual if you're looking for a fun, cheap & sturdy car, I think you'll be pleased.
  • ToolGuy Riddle me this: Since Ford knows everything about manufacturing cars, and Mercedes-Benz knows nothing, which vehicle has more torsional rigidity, this 1999 Mustang convertible or a 'comparable' Mercedes convertible? Background information (plus a video from the good-looking Top Gear guy).Extra credit: Did Ford do the convertible conversion or did they outsource it? (And M-B?)
  • Jeff S Unless muscle cars and pony like cars come back in popularity they will continue to disappear. Seems like some commenters are still not aware that pickups, suvs, and crossovers are what is selling. Manufacturers are going to make what sells regardless of who is the President. It is strictly business.
