Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / September 2004Best car (or top 5) out there???
Ok, let's talk about the best built, best running, least repair shop history, Car available today! (ie' no trucks, suvs). Reason, I'm looking for first New car ever, not a pre-owned one.. in the up to $ 30,000. range- out the door). I see a few sedans that look nice, both american & import makes but not sure what's junk and what's not.. Please give your wisdom on this, and why the car you suggest is "best". P.S. not crazy about coupes (2 door) but will have a look if recommended. Thank You, sincerely.. Y.D.

In my considered opinion the best car of the many brand we service, domestic and foreign, dollar for dollar available in the US, is the Mercury Grand Marquis GS. Fully loaded, leather the works, full sized six passenger car with a trunk that will hold their luggage, modern high tech OHC 25 MPG V8, body on frame construction with a duel five star crash rating, bullet proof drive train, easily a 500K mile car, extremely low cost insurance, repair and maintenance costs. Can be had today for around 20K or less brand new not 30K. Nothing else comes close, certainly no other 20K vehicle not even the CV. ;) mike hunt > Buick Regal without question.... > > Ok, let's talk about the best built, best running, least repair shop [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > > > Y.D.

I presume it is as good as you say (others?). Does it really get such a good mileage for a big car? Check out C.U.'s "Buying Guide" & April, 2004 auto issue for repair and other ratings. > "dustyrhoades" wrote: > > From what we see in our business every manufacture today is [quoted text clipped - 48 lines] > Topic URL: http://www.AutoForumz.com/General-Discussion-car-top-ftopict62160.html > Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

They will actually do better at sustained highway speeds. mike hunt > > Mike, I am also considering Mercury Grand Marquis. I presume it is as > > good as you say (others?).

Not too worry, the Crown Vic/Grand Marquis are some of the safest vehicles one can buy in that regard. Safer even then some of the FWD cars that have tanks UNDER the rear seats. Current federal crash standards require that a vehicle must be built to withstand a 30 MPH hit in the rear without damage to the fuel tank. The Crown Vic was built to withstand a 50 MPH hit in the rear without damage to the fuel tank. With the new rear suspension and the new frame added since 2001 the Crown Vic/Grand Marquis can now withstand a 70 MPh hit in the rear without damage to the fuel tank. mike hunt > Does the Marquis still have the gas tank location problem that > police departments are upset about?
