bigred Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 first 3 on the list I can tell you do not have good leg room. standard cab pickups are horrible (the reason I like the bronco better than the f150 is I can push the seat way back), the s10 jimmy/blazers are little toys with no real leg room either. and the cavilier is well, small. mustangs are okay on leg room, but your insurance will be a lot higher.

Hades25 Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 (edited) FYI lexus IS toyota. it's like chevy and GMC... same company, different price points knew that dude also try to stay away from 4x4 vehicles...they are prone to breaking down more often and can be expensive to repair check out the worst of 99 here Edited January 21, 2004 by Hades25 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly_C Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 knew that dude also try to stay away from 4x4 vehicles...they are prone to breaking down more often and can be expensive to repair check out the worst of 99 here also 4x4s are more expensive when it comes to insurance.

Special_K Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 hades i dont believe that site you put, i mean, it had a volvo as one of the worst. if you know anything about volvos you know that they're the safest and most reliable on the road. that site seems rather... biased may i say?

TypicalSloan Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 I wouldnt say volvo are the most reliable, i have heard numerous times that they are the safest, mainly because they use a full frame and not a uni body? Its a proven fact that japenese cars just last longer, and require less maintenance during thier life. I would second the suggestion of looking for a olds or caddy that an elderly person has owned. 1. good leg room 2. reletively low mileage 3. good condition 4. decent gas mileage 5. one of the more reliable American made cars.

bigred Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 japanese trucks DON'T hold up as well as the american's did. I've seen toyota's snap thier frames on stuff that ford's and dodge's take like it's nothing. Of couse 99.9% of people do NOT ever make thier 6000+ lb 4x4 a flying object... but he it's nice to know that it'll take it. Okay, I guess it would have torn up most vehicles 9" of lift did probably help my landing. cuz the 4 runner folded just behind the front doors and cracked the frame in half on his landing.

Ghost2520 Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 We have a Volvo and I love it as I've said before, and yes on www.sweedspeed.com you can find a Volvo that survived to 1 million miles! Also the Volper is cool. We have a Honda that is at 270,000 miles. Hondas never seem to die. The only thing I have against them is every teenager has a Honda. I like to be different so I go with other cars. Hey BigRed can you post a picture of your truck? I don't think I've seen it before.

Sly_C Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 4. decent gas mileage yeah right, caddies and oldsmobiles get crap mileage. all those old big cars do. like i drive a 1986 pontiac parisseinne and man i put ten dollars in it and can maybe drive like 60 miles and back. maybe but i doubt it. but u do get legroom i'll give u that they are very very comfortable i love my car. as for volvos man those cars are built like tanks. a friend of mine and i were in an accident when he was driving his volvo and he beat the hell out of this other woman's car and all that happened to his was that his head light popped out.

bigred Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 (edited) kinda old pic. she's had a little more suspension work, new (bigger) tires, and some pretty major body work done since this pic was taken almost 18 months ago. also, yes it's a 90, YES I'm aware that I have a 94 front clip on the truck. YES that's the only part of the truck that even resembles a post 92 bronco. The truck is on it's 3rd front clip, and second overall body.
