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 this house deal goes through and I find myself in a position where I don't need a big truck for plowing or towing, I'll probably look for a small, economical car like the Camry. Haven't done a lot of looking or researching yet but I wouldn't mind getting something smaller as long as it is comfortable. The Mini Cooper I had a year or so ago was a lot of fun to drive but it was like riding on a high performance roller skate. I can't imagine taking a long distance trip in it. Kinda like the looks of the Ford Fusion also but don't know much about them. Only problem with the imports ... Toyota, Nissan, etc., is that they all look the same to me. And most I see are grey for some reason. === The most comfortable car we've ever owned is my wife's M-B E320. It's just super in every way - smooth, quiet, powerful and great seats. Consumer Reports rated it as one of the best cars they've ever driven. My wife had one for a company car for a while. She liked it, but I didn't. Too soft and no fun to drive. Her favorite was the Lexus LS460. I hated driving it, but it was nice to be a passenger, especially on a long trip. She had an A6 Quattro, and that's what introduced me to them. I've had two since then, currently still driving the second one. Love them. Comfortable, sporty, quick, and sure-footed with the quattro system. |
