sdandrea1 Ford is the only domestic brand I'd buy today, but the Japanese make such a tight, reliable vehicle now. I do miss my Ford Flex. The ultimate golf wagon

I have liked Fords. But I've seen them treat owners very badly in the past 10-15 years when it comes to making good on major engineering flubs. Like their diesel pickups. And their dual clutch auto-manual trans in the Fiesta and Focus. I have personal experience with that fiasco.

As a result, it would take a lot for me to consider another Ford.

      DonM It tells me her boss probably doesn't think very well of you, haha.

      They don't know about it. She would be fired.

        DC300 Yeah I've never owned a BMW, Mercedes or Audi, but lusted after them. I've had 2 Acuras, but didn't really care for the recent ones and Consumer Reports says they are much less reliable than they were. The 328 is being transferred and I may be able to check it out Tuesday night. I drove a similar one and really liked it. This one has all the bells and whistles and the price was reasonable.

        I was pretty close to buying a 2016 Mercedes E350. Beautiful car and man it drove nice. Never really liked Mercedes before, but it was nice. Unfortunately I thought the asking price was a bit high and then the BMW popped up. I've heard all German cars are big $$ to repair, but we'll see. My brother is a mechanic and so I don't get burned on repairs and he gets parts at a discount.

          DonM If a person reads the stickers on the windows of the Fords, they will soon realize they are NOT a domestic car. Parts come from 3-4 different countries,(typically U.K, U.S, & Mexico) and final assembly is in 2 different countries(usually 2-3 different cities in U.S, or Mexico).....for same models!

          Good to see them axing heads this a.m..

            SWMBO sold the 1965 C2 Corvette. We had it stored at a classic car dealer for the winter and we got an offer that was too good. She wants a daily driver with modern features in a convertible so...........

            2019 C300 Cabriolet. It was LESS than the Vette cost. I love this woman.😘

              sdandrea1 That’s a beauty, still not as sexy as the vette to me........but I’m not the one paying for it. Looks like a lot of fun though and I hope y’all have a great time in it. If you should decide you need something with more Ping-like functionality I’ll trade you a nice, only slightly used Frontier🙃.

                  HybridWood Wait a minute Steve, it looks like you've been replaced - the guy riding shotgun doesn't seem to be you.

                  Sales guy doing orientation. Car has a million features. I'll still be riding shotgun.😉

                    ZWExton love that pearl color. She has great taste!

                    Thanks! It's actually got a metallic sparkle in it, but you gotta be close up to see it.

                        Are we still talking about the car or you? 😁

                          Car is in Hartford; going to check it out tonight after work. Hopefully it's as nice as it looked on the website pics.

                            Somebody asked about a Mazda6. I have a 2015 model purchased new if anyone has any specific questions. It's a great car. Nothing fancy, but affordable and does everything I need well.

                              Sparky I looked at a recent model 2016 or 2017 and it is a really nice car. Drives nice and great interior. I just really wanted AWD this time so I ruled it out. The CX-5 is also a great little SUV and I came close to getting one of those.

                                toraider Car was really, really nice. Only problem was that it didn't have the correct tires on it. They are putting new tires on it today or tomorrow and then I'll pick it up by Friday probably. I'm debating whether to get their MaxCare service plan or just skip it. Car still has some warranty left and my brother is a mechanic.
