Huh, interesting. I think it's quite handsome, and one of the most handsome Mustangs out there. Looks great in black.

Now wouldya look at that. Doog may appreciate this.

Oh goodie, an ass scent Accent. They are rather cute-looking...
 
Unfortunately, I've read endless stories and reports over the past few weeks detailing the average German car's hilariously bad reliability and maintenance costs, with little improvement over the past decade. As good as they might be over the warranty period (which is to say, 30% better but at a 100% higher price), German cars for me have become significantly less appealing as the (im)practicality of owning one comes to light.


These old American cars look so comfy:

The interior of the Fleetwood looks like an explosion in a teddy bear factory. A very comfy explosion that I want to sit in.

A friend of mine used to drive what was probably a late 80s Japanese car and, honestly, despite likely being a base model even then, they were made in a material which looked visually similar to that Fleetwood material and they were the comfiest seats I've ever had the pleasure of sitting in.

Saleen works wonders when they apply body mods to Mustangs. Doesn't work out so well on a Focus in my opinion. Then again, if you look past the 2 Fast 2 Furious body kit, its hard not to like an otherwise humdrum hatchback that came with nitrous from factory with a warranty too.
 
I always though this car could look good if done right.

I'm not a fan of Mustangs of that era but personally I think when done like the one with gold wheels, it looks really nice but, when done like the bottom one it brings out the ugliness in the car.
 
Definitely prefer that front as to this:

This one is just weird. I guess the one depicted above is like a U.S. spec type thing? Bigger front for safety I assume.

Say what you want about it, but I think the Spark is great. It does its job and it does it well. You get what you get for the price with no extra clutter to make it seem more than what it is. Just because a car isn't big, harsh, or powerful doesn't mean it's complete trash.
I would seriously consider a Spark based on my daily activities.

I don't think that's anyone's worry really. The problem is quality. Sparks have come at the bottom of every JD Power survey since their release.

I know the IIHS said great things about it considering the other cars like it, but I didn't really hear anything about JD Power's survey results for it. I'll have to look into it.
