Good Luck Nutsy;

Hope your new Ride is a success for you and Susy and Thom!

What happened with the "Hybrid" Car &
Sail Bit?

By the way Nutsy, I have a Windstar with 81,000 miles. Only had to
replace Tires, brakes and a fuel pump.

My Dog "Jazz" loves the damn thing. She's claimed it as her own. I'm
allowed to drive it but its her car. We both love the damn thing.

I avoid American cars because they are substandard, Thom. You have to
drive a Honda, Toyota Sienna or Sedona to know how terrible the
American vans really are. The newest Ford Freestar still lags by 50
horse power against the better imports. The Caravan was once the class
leader. Once again American car makers were asleep at the wheel. What a
shame.
My Sedona drives like a car, does 0-60 in 7.2 seconds, has traction and
stability control....and on and on...and a better warranty than any
American car. And of course any of the Japanese/Korean minivans are a
huge jump in ride quality and comfort.
I've owned a Caravan, Chevy Celebrity, Lincoln town car, Caprice Class
(cop car), Crown Vic (cop car) and several other American cars. My
father has bought American for 20 years straight...and finally gave up
and bought a Subaru FXT Turbo Wagon...a good car at last.
At this point if someone gave me a FREE American car I'd trade it for a
Kia Spectra or Toyota Echo in a heartbeat.

Nutsy,

I aim for sucesss, perfection is to small a target. I've found great
sucess with my 2003 Windstar. Right on target.
It replaced a full size Dodge Ram Van, used to a 22 foot Trailer, which
I sold after my Wife died,
I replaced that with a Ford Straight Six PU and a wilderness Cab-over
Camper. Dog hated the Truck. No room to roam. Picked up the Windstar and
kept the camper.

Both are Rec Vehicles for dog and I.
Hope the best for you with you KIA.

In minivans it's an easy target. For the last few years the Toyota
Sienna has been the absolute leader in quality and customer
satisfaction for minivans. The Sedona is brand new, so we'll see. The
Honda is also pretty good. All are better than ANY from the big three
without question. Even the old Sedona, which was only a so-so car was
better reviewed than any US models.

Sounds like you know your cars, Joe! I can only wonder at my uncles
2003 Sedona that has never needed service, while my father's Caravan
required two steering assembys, a new harnass and the poor thing even
started to rust around the window frames after two years. The new
Sedona is getting RAVE reviews.
The kia is 5 year bumper to bumper 60K and 10 years 100K powertrain. I
don't pay for oil changes or a flat for the first 2 years.
America has been embarassed...1st by the Germans and Japanese and now
the Koreans. What's next, a British car that's better than anything we
can build.
We did look at a loaded Caravan and when I pulled the tray out it fell
off. Suzanne's seat wouldn't adjust and they couldn't get the power
door to open and this was in the showroom. They blamed heavy traffic on
the car, but it sure didn't look it.
Kia put in our autostart today....and the little Garmin nav is slick.
If Ford were alive he'd kill himself out of pure shame for what's
happened in this country....but thank god for the Japanese, Germans and
Koreans...people who take pride in what they build.

Please move to Japan, Germany, or Korea....

What have you made that you take pride in?

Just a few days ago you were telling me you couldn't fit comfortably in an
Echo. So what has changed? Your height?

Incidentally the Echo has been replaced by the Yaris.

Good Lord, Thom, don't you have lemon laws out there. I'd have taken that
loser back pronto. g
