Honestly I wish I would have bought something like this for my wife than the turdburger 06 Santa Fe I bought a little over a year ago. Needed a temporary ride to replace her jalopy Sentra until my car is paid for.

A 69 year old with an AIO PC still running Windows 8 and you want them to wipe and install Linux and learn how to use a new OS.
While other families were slogging around in boring mini-vans like this Aerostar, my family had 1993 Mark III Chevy Conversion van. It was roomier and way more comfortable than any of these turds. We had what they called captains chairs in the front and first row in back and a fold down bench in back, with a 13 inch…
That looks terrible. Soccer moms will buy it in droves.
Something Something Someone Else’s Project. CP Thermostat needs replacing...GTFO, unless this frankitsubishi has made it completely inaccessible that should take no time at all to replace which begs the question to why the owner hasn’t done it. The diff whine is far more concerning, shabby condition, and bad paint…
Subtract at least $1600 from that price tag. A blown motor’s a blown motor. Your hoping it’s maybe just a bent valve not sealing causing the knock, but it could be a dozen other things and you would be best completely disassembling and rebuilding the engine to find it. Probably best to get this cheaper, hope the…
I was still trying to get the first cup of coffee down, I see it now.

What the crap is up with your comment? Why is everything double-spaced?
They still went with a FIAT motor instead of the Mazda unit.
Didn’t even know this existed until it got posted on Jalopnik. I don’t live on Youtube, I have shit to do. Quick browse of Jalopnik, back to work or life. They also didn’t rip it off. The Youtube video is embedded and the author gives credit.
It’s an NFL football game, I can almost guarantee he was probably drunk or near enough too. Went to my first regular season NFL game (edit: of the year)a few weeks ago, it was pretty awful. Bunch of drunk idiots swearing at the refs and coaches in the heat, that and the relatively boring game is why I only do this…
Honestly they haven’t built anything since that looks quite that good. Still one of the most elegant designs for a sedan ever.
Has anyone ever put a turbo on a V-twin?
Here’s a few to choose from, that was in a quick google search.
Power to weight ratios on a 4.0L definitely. Or go for a 2 door Cherokee might even be able to get one cheaper than either a Wrangler or this.
I would only pay that much for this turd after someone did the appropriate LS swap. That thing will be wheezy and slow, especially with the larger wheels robbing some of the power. 200HP for this behemoth. My uncle had a later GMC Sierra GMT400 after the upgrade to Vortec power and it still wasn’t particularly quick…
Fox body Mustang. Lighter, better body, and infinitely more available aftermarket parts.
A V8 that you’ll need to sink some time and money to get enough power out of to get it out of its own way. 122HP when new, I can guarantee most of those ponies have retired to the glue factory in the sky by now. They can probably be revived and a few more found and saddled up, but is it worth it on this heap.
