I don't know if the other years are any better, but this car sucked. I had to get it as a rental since I totalled my moms truck. Had it for 7 days and although I'm glad I had something to drive, I would have chosen a Yugo over this.

-The blind spot was horrible. I almost took off the head rest so I could see better.
-The transmission lagged when changing gears.
-The automatic shifter was free moving like a stick shift, so you had to look at the LCD display to tell if you were in drive or Low 3.
-Backing up was a huge pain because the front sunk in lower than the back, so you could only see the top of what you were backing up to.


You can call me a complainer, but I would never drive one again.

Next time, DON'T WRECK THE COOL TRUCK! :angry:

I had one of the Intrepids when the Pathfinder was in the shop and I didn't think it was that bad.

Beggars can't be choosers........... :nyanya:

Stop wrecking your own cars and you won't have to deal with it. Just a thought. ;)

20+ years of driving and I've never wrecked a car. Mom would have kicked my ass. Now I have Peaches looking after me so I have to be careful. :)

Let's look at the record here:

3.5 years of driving - 3 wrecks, his fault (one where he FELL ASLEEP ON THE INTERSTATE!). 3 wrecks someone else hit him. 3 speeding tickets (one he would have lost his license on had he not been dating a lawyer's daughter and he went to court with him.....).

Talk about living on borrowed time. :blink:

And he wants to fly planes......... :zoinks:
