Great First Car

I bought this car used and it has never let me down. It was my first car and I loved it until recently when I finally had to get a new car :( But 165,000 miles and it still runs great! I had Ford tempo before this and they are very similar cars. Def would recommend.

Second Car

My second car a lot better than my first. It handles better and is more reliable. Its old so it needs some new parts but it runs without them and still does great.

Least Reliable Car I've Owned

This car was awful. I cannot even begin to describe how bad it was to my family during the time we owned it. It had the transmission replaced TWICE, the serpentine belt broke, the radiator tank exploded, the turn signals stopped working, the brake fluid line fell out, and the ABS brakes stopped working only a few months after we purchased the car. Also, the computer broke and reported that the O2 sensors were faulty, causing the car to fail inspection numerous times. We never felt totally sure we were going to reach our destination when getting into this car. DO NOT BUY.

Ron

Bought used with 103,000 miles. It has been a great car!!!! Had a 1995 tourus with 185,000 and would still be driving it if another driver didn't total it.
