Well here are my autos: '87 Ford Ranger '97 Toyota Tacoma '04 Jeep Liberty Renegade (current) The Toyota was the best rig out the the three that I have had, although the Jeep is definitely in at a close second. That Toyota stranded me on the interstate twice, but when I brought it in to to get it fixed, the guys at the dealership asked me how the thing had even gone that far. Apparently a small four-legged furry creature had eaten away and used the air filter as a nest in the air intake for the engine and what would happen is that I would go over a bump and the nest would lodge such that the engine wasn't getting enough air, and subsequently would shut down. Also 3 out of the 4 O2 sensors were missing with the fourth one not reading properly. The clutch was non-existent and the frame was being held together by with what was left over from the protective coating that I sprayed underneath the truck after putting a reese hitch on the truck. I could pretty much, not kill that thing no matter what I did.

| 1999 Cougar 2006 Subie Impreza WRX STI, currently at 32K miles About 1/10th ownership of a couple Clarkson University Formula SAE cars. Those things are rockets. Cougar - Lost the alternator at 150K. For the most part it was a solid car, one problem with an electrical short (and then when the dealer "fixed" it, they moved the wiring to a place where it chafed against the transmission, causing another short and leaving me 100 miles away from home on my way back from college.) Main problem was that the engine bay was so stuffed that it was expensive to get any work done; the shop quoted me something like $700 for the alternator, probably because it would take three hours to access and three hours to put everything back. Still on the original shocks (I was on the way to the shop to get them replaced when it died,) timing chain, clutch, transmission, CV joints, and just about everything else that wasn't standard maintanence, and some that was (spark plugs.) I still cry a little every time I pass a Cougar. A Mercury Cougar, that is.

| One thing that is surprising is that there aren't many luxury cars on these lists...yet when I visit ski areas in New England...especially Stowe, Stratton, Killington and Okemo...the parking lots are jam packed with Lexus, Infiniti, Mercedes SUVs, Hummers, Range Rover and Porshe Cayannes..I imagine us hardcore skiers and riders are spending money on skiing/riding and not on our vehicles.. |
