Any ford, because not only are they unsafe, but their drivetrains feature "torquelack" technology(I made that term), meaning you can slam the pedal and break your neck to 5mph, but after that its all gone. My friend's Sable with the V6 revs up to like 6,500rpm trying to get to speed quickly, (I'm pretty sure my SD could keep up with it) and it feels sooo sloooow and takes forever to actually accomplish anything, aside from noise and fuel consumption. One of my prof's at school had her engine in her sable blow apart at 42,000 miles. Lack of precision bothers me. Ever seen on cops when they are in persuit at top speed? their Crown Victoria's with a 4.2 liter V8 are at like 5,800 rpm to even hit 135mph, a 420sel could dust a cop car with ease.
