“if you have to wind it out to 9000 RPM to keep up with the cars around you, it is too slow, especially for a beginner..”

I’m gonna give you a ticket for being a shitwad. 

Those and the early Pintos were quite nicely designed.

Same here...I have a camper shell on my 6-1/2' C1500's bed. It’s been removed all of once (in 10 years!), and that was so a neighbor could use it to move furniture.

Wait, what happened to the W8 Passat?

FIFK?

Worse ride than a CX-5? No fuckin’ way. Unless you were driving previous generation models, the Outback’s cushy and the CX-5 is absolute dogshit. We couldn’t believe what we felt through the apparently bushing-free suspension...every crack and pebble, including ones we couldn’t see. There was a low-frequency thrumming…

Other than a very slight mention, the problem of headlight adjustment was completely ignored. There’s no way stock headlights have that amount of adjustment built-in, so they just blind everyone. Throw in some cheap LEDs and it gets worse.

The CX-5 rides like shit.  He wants something comfortable.

Not necessarily.  I deal with a couple of smaller ones and they are not.

Oh, give me a break. Is this like people complaining anything with less than 300 hp is just dog-ass slow?

Let me know if you need some help moving things along.

They wanted ground clearance...the Outback’s kind of a grown-up Crosstrek, and should fit the bill. And I’d be surprised if the Legacy could ride any better, given the Outback’s extra suspension travel and fatter tire sidewalls.

That’s true. We don’t have kids and don’t like leather, but otherwise there are a lot of nice features on that trim.

You can get Ram pickups in New Holland Blue...someone here at work has one, it’s just nutty! I love it.

Get an Outback Premium with the NA 2.5. The ride quality’s fantastic, it’s quiet, handles decently, has plenty of ground clearance, seats are comfy and have a lot of adjustment. It can be had at $30k or so, maybe less without the big safety package. Ours has been getting 30 mpg in mixed driving so far.

Worried about ‘the kids’, while screaming “I live in Oakland, you fucking asshole! You’re a loser!”

This one’s easily identifiable...from the front.  No angry maw.

Heck, a four-door for that matter. They disappeared into a fog of blown head gaskets, I suppose.

Ugh no shit...the Neon called (hi!), it wants its bad color back.
