There’s at least one Contour on the roads still, and it’s being driven by whichever Door Dash driver delivered my Popeye’s chicken last month.

What does the Venn diagram of “not a real Mustang” people and “people who name their kids Lakynn and Blaykelee” look like?

Great suggestion. They’re cheap as hell because they get lumped in with the dual-clutch cars and they are very reliable. 

Good suggestion! The 3rd Gen focus is heavily related to the Mazda3 of 2004-2012 so it has good bones, including engines based on Mazda-licensed designs which are fun and reliable. The worst part of those focii was the crap powershift trans.

What about a regular Golf? Should be able to find a 2015 or so in that price range and you’re looking close to 40 highway.

I have an ‘18 GT PP1, i use it as a daily driver and would definitely recommend it to this buyer. The interior is actually nicer than I expected and it’s very comfortable.

This! I was expecting this to be pick number 1. I too have a ‘15 Premium GT and it is one of the most comfy dailys I have owned with plenty of power on tap. Oh and REAR VISIBILITY!! My boss is a die hard GM guy, but after sitting in my Mustang and trying out a Camaro, he ended up buying a Mustang which says a lot. 

GIVE ME GRABBER BLUE OR GIVE ME DEATH

If only Ford had already made a big bulky boy who could go really fast and had a name connected to the concept of electricity.

When the Hyundai Kona EV came out it checked all the boxes on what I wanted in an EV.

Everyone losing their shit over the name... Guess what? EVERYONE is talking about it... Mission accomplished!!

Hot take- the name is fine, and I’m really looking forward to driving one. Joe Consumer doesn’t think anything less of a Mustang because of this, and no one is going to mistake the two. People in the know will just roll eyes and drop the Mustang and call it the Mach E.

Great list, but I’m kind of disappointed you didn’t put Big Mouth at 69.

“This scene is the latest in the long tradition of gory South Park scenes that are disturbing funny because of how casually everything is portrayed.”

Trying to read the ad was painful. I hate to repeat this meme, but:

I'd pay $2,999 to never have to deal with people like this seller.

Really? “JAP BUILT” and “THIS IS FOR THE HIGHER IQ PERSON WHO KNOWS WHAT THE VALUE OF A CAR LIKE THIS IS REALLY WORTH” didn’t sell you?  

That looks like a 2.7L EcoBoost. You can see the top of the 2.7EB-only (AFAIK) cartridge style oil filter cap between the two damper reservoirs.

I was going to recommend this. Yes they are butt ugly, and I admit to owning one. My heart wants a new car, but this car has been cheap to own, and it is surprisingly comfortable if you get an SES or SEL trim with some amenities. I’ve been saying for awhile that my 2010 SES has been the best crap used car I’ve ever

Silver Ford Fusion with the v6. Looks like a government vehicle, and absolutely disappears into a crowd. It’s so invisible, I forget where I park my own damn car sometimes. And with around 240 HP, not weighing THAT much, it can get out of its own way.
