oh yes, FORDs suck you are right, that is why my Bronco from 1989 is still running perfectly, my fathers FORD Van from 1992 still lookin brand spanckin new, even after he was rearended. i will be honest, my dads pick up truck didn't do so well, the chassis snapped in half, where the cab meets the bed.... although it was made somtime in the 70's and it just sat and collected rust for a few years before it finally snapped

I drive a 1991 Plymouth Voyager (go minivan!) which is alright, but its nearing its end so I am getting a 91 Volvo 240 which should be good for a looooong time cuz the previous owner took fanatically good care of it and, well, its a Volvo! I have a friend with a volvo station wagon, like a 89 or something, and it has 330k miles on it, and runs perfectly.

Im sorry but jeeps are very over rated. They are the most bumpy vechicals i have ever riden in. Also bad gas milage and the list goes on. I woud get a real truck made by GM.

I didn't just read that...I didn't just read that...I didn't just read that...

Dude. Show me another car/truck/SUV/what ever that can go over the terrain like a Jeep can! (Both stock!) It is a little bumpy, but it's an aggressive vehicle. That is why I swear to own nothing but a Jeep (ONLY WITH SOLID AXLES!! NONE of that Independent crap - This includes the Liberty, which sucks) Nothing can compare to a Jeep out of the box (Which includes how long they last. My 4.0 I-6 in my 92' Cherokee seized up three times (thanks to a broken oil pump) and when I repaired that - it worked like nothing ever happened!!)...

Harrison - The only thing that a import is good for is a paper weight...

My stepdad worked for the big three including a Chrysler/ Jeep dealership as a service manager.
He wouldn't take a Jeep if it was given to him.
Lots of electrical problems and Jeep is known for poor quality.
Plus since he works for Ford I can get an Escape at a good discount (or a Mazda).

wow. I have had no problems with my Jeeps. Was the Jeep an older one (Made by AMC) or something like that? So far mine is golden...

Jeeps still rule the off-roading section!!

Grand Cherokees mostly.
Electrical systems were just crap.
They were always in the shop.
Don't be too surprised.
Jaguars have a reputation of being disaterous as well and the lowest rated car in customer stisfaction now are Humvees.
Just because it comes with a big price tag doesn't always equate to a quality product.
Truth be told of all the places he worked the cars that impressed him the most were Subaru's.
You had to deny the things matinace and oil to kill them. They didn't break themselves.
I will make sure and ask my stepdad alot of question before I buy the hybrid Escape (never buy a car in it's 1st year of production he said. Lot's of bugs to work out. So that's one strike against it).

Yeah go chevy. I would like to see a jeep try to beat a chevy. They are the best trucks made.

You know, this was intended as a thread to show what car you drive... not to argue about what kind of car is better. Everyone has their opinions, and I think this is just turning into a "my car is the best, and everything else sucks" type of discussion.

LOL, comon, it's all good!

Gary, I'll take that challenge any day...

I don't have a problem with people posting why their car is good, but I have a problem with people posting just to say GM is bad, or Jeeps are bad, or anything like that. There's no need to just have random, senseless argument. Go ahead and post why your car is awesome, but don't use this as just a place to slam your least favorite auto maker. It'll get really old, really fast.
