It's not a compact. It's a midsizer. That's the issue. It does not hold a candle to the likes of the Accord, Fusion, Optima/Sonata, or Mazda6. Have you ever been inside one? I made Enterprise get me another car from another lot, and happily waited over an hour when they tried to put me in one. I drove about 30 feet

Except reliability, resale value, the Avenger, you know. Important stuff.

It seems to be a common issue with many of the early ones.

1991. And it was driven by none other than Carroll Shelby.

Someone really likes Chevy, and is going to shove ALL THE CHEVY down everyone's throats.

Yes, but greeting people when they arrive is to be expected. In all reality, you cannot buy a car without talking to a salesman, and a salesman cannot talk to a car until they talk to a customer. Some people want a salesman to help them look. Them offering to assist you is simple business, and you'd be surprised how

Car dealers really don't mind the laws, either. 1. They always get a day off, and 2. The customers can come in and look at their leisure. A relaxed / prepared customer is always easier to deal with. The stress and tension goes both ways.

Have you ever had the Auto-Dim mirrors (not rear view, side mirrors)? It's kinda like Bluetooth. Once you have it, you won't give it up.

Most RS models don't have it as standard. Usually a no-cost option. Wasn't aware they changed it for the 991. Maybe they just flipped it, made it a no-cost delete.

Base work trucks, in their basest trim. On the Ford F-150 100A it's about a $100 option., 101A it's standard.

You don't want a GT3 RS? Not even a Z/28? What's wrong with you, man?

I entered my banking and / or social security information, and my blood and urine sample should be in your P.O. box tomorrow. Anything else required? Do you need my address for my new BMW-size check?

Although I do understand your complaints (namely with the AUX always reverting to Line In instead of Bluetooth Audio, regardless of where it was when I shut the car off), SYNC is the branding on the Bluetooth interface. Note the difference between an SE and S Focus' radio units is the addition of SYNC, giving it

SYNC is nothing more than a hidden module behind the dash, and a couple of extra buttons on the wheel. Do you mean MyFordTouch?

I work marketing for a Ford store, but I do see how service operates. Our big push this year was QuickLane, which means we have a team designed to get people in and out, for the regular maintenance, fast. You want a Oil Change, Rotation, new Wipers, and a Battery? Maybe some Brake Pads? Need a few bulbs replaced?

European and US markets have different names for basically the same car, IIRC.

Did you read the article? He clearly covers the engine options.

Exclude Mercedes and Smart from your list.
