need opinion on some cars

Michelle Page · 12-31-2000, 01:08 PM

I've had only 2 gm products. My first car was an '82 Oldsmobile Delta 88. It survived my dad, mom, brother (the only thing he never wrecked) and finally me. I got it in '93 and it was still a good car. The other I had was a '94 Pontiac Sunbird. It was SLOW. The throttle position sensor wend bad and I had to take it to the dealership 7 times to get it fixed. The service manager was rude to me too. Since then I've only had Fords and one '73 Dodge Duster. The dustball was really slow, had the good 'ol reliable sland six. I wish I still had it, it was in near perfect condition.
If I was going to buy a new car I'd consider a VW. I worked at a VW dealer a few years ago and even the mechanics there said they were very reliable cars. The only common problem they mentioned was something about the wiring. If I remember right they also have a 100,000 mile warranty.
As for the Focus, it's kinda ugly. But if it's a well built car I guess you could get used to it.
Good choice in staying away from rice!
