fordmantpw Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Take a look at my signature. Every vehicle was bought new with the exception of the '86 Bronco II. All have been great vehicles except for the Bronco II, and it had a very rough life prior to my receiving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I like that color combo, very nice. How do you like it? Does have good power? Comfortable? Handling? Ride? Etc? Thanks, I absolutely love it. Comfort and ride are top notch....quality is right up there, although I have had a few very minor things happen (chrome foglight surround came off - popped back on though - and a couple other things). Handling - I suppose it handles well, although I haven't really tried to make it handle like anything but what it is. Power - for normal everyday driving it's fine, but stomping on it, I guess you could say leaves something to be desired. It does accelerate well, but there could definitely be more there IMO (that's where EB comes in next year :D ). On the power front, though, I guess you could say I'm not the best indicator - look at my sig - we have a 335i (300 hp sportscar that I was driving daily) and my dad's supercharged truck (500+ hp), so I'm more used to having a faster/more powerful car than your average Flex buyer. But as I said above, I'm sure EcoBoost will solve this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevys Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I may as well post. These are cars my family and me have bought new. 67 Galaxy 500 with a 390 72 Ltd with a 400 (this was a damn good car as I drove it to 150K and sold it to my uncle who drove it to over 200K and then hit so many deer it was trashed finally) No major repairs. 79 Mercury Capri with a 200 I6(burned a quart of oil every 700 miles. Ford said that was ok) Fords didnt get bought for a long time after that. 78 F150 with a 351M 03 Ford Mustang v6 (good car and still in service with no issues) 03 Ford Mustang Mach 1 (good car with no issues and still in service) 06 Ford Mustang GT vert (still in service and only a dead battery to date which Ford replaced and took care of) It was a fluke I think. There were some used ones in there and quite a few GM and Toyotas. The yotas have been dead nuts reliable I have to say. My parents have an 03 4 runner now that has been dead nuts perfect. They have not even replaced the battery yet. Its six years old this month. I dont think that yota is as good as they once were and that one was built in Japan. I have owned three s10 trucks and they are put together with glue. I have had 4 bangers and v6 models and they are nothing to write home about. The engines are pretty good especially the 4.3. I still have a 96 sonoma with a 4.3. Its ok I guess and the extra torque is nice if you have to tow. ON its best day it will get 24 mpg with 3.42 gears. That is under perfect conditions. I sure wish Ford would revive the F100. I hate the colorado and dont like the tacoma either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
