Yup..if she was driving a basic compact car she would probably have had a better feel for what was going on.

The Mountaineer is basically the same vehicle as the "Roll Me Another
One" Explorer so it could get exciting.

About six months ago, we got my wife a new car, maybe one step up from
your basic compact. We shopped five or six dealers, looking at several
brands of four door sedans, including two "fancy lines." She ending up
liking the Toyota Camry best because "it's a simple car, well-made, nice
ride, and peppy." I was pretty surprised at how well it performs, since
she opted for the naturally aspirated four cylinder engine.

If you want "peppy" take a ride in the V-6 Honda Accord, zero to 60 in
6 seconds.

My decrepit old 2 liter Prelude is pretty peppy for what it is. If you
keep it up in that "V-tec" power band it moves right along. Since that
is over 5k RPM it does make my mechanically minded teeth hurt a little
tho.
