Your Primary Car
What's your daily driver? What do you like and dislike about it? Example:
Primary Car: 2014 Ford Taurus SHO Likes: ~Receives lots of compliments from strangers, who weren't even aware that Ford still builds the Taurus. ~It's quick! 0-60 in the low fives, and great mid-range acceleration. Entering crowded interstates off of short entrance ramps is a no-brainer! ~All-wheel-drive makes bad-weather driving easy and confidence-inspiring, even with V-rated all-seasons on all four corners. ~Stable, predictable handling, quick steering and strongish brakes. Last year, I literally had to dive for the weeds when some teen doltette coming out of a blind curve thought that it was more important to text one of her girlfriends than to keep her Honda Accord on her side of the road. No damage to car or driver. I definitely would have been tits-up if I tried that move in one of my old SUV's. ~Comfortable and quiet interior. Combined with a massive trunk, it's a great interstate car. Dislikes: ~You just can't see out of the damn thing. High beltline/low roofline/very high decklid height makes seeing anything behind you, particularly directly behind, a hit-or-miss proposition. Sometimes literally... ~It has it's appetites, preferring to snack on V-rated 45-series rubber, and attempting to run it's twin-turbos on anything less than 91-93 octane is almost sacrilegious. |
