Just seeing what impressions yall have with other vehicle brands.. Between me and my family, we've had.... 1982 Chevy S10 Tahoe extended cab 1986 Dodge Colt (Worst vehicle EVER....) 1992 Mazda MPV 1993 Mazda 626 1996 Toyota Avalon 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500 2000 Toyota Corolla 2003 Toyota Tundra Ext Cab V8 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport LS  Overall, we've avoided Ford because so many of our friends have had reliability problems. Our Dodge experiences have been terrible too. Chevy have been decent... But Toyota, Mazda, and Mitsubishi (so far) have been excellent...we've had very good performance and reliability from our foreign cars (out of pure experience) |

I roll the 03 MS to work and for fun. My wife has a 01 Camry lowered with chrome rims & wing. And my 2 year old son has a Radio Flyer wagon painted and striped like my 69 Mach 1 Mustang. We show the wagon in the summer at car shows ;D (sometimes my son lets me park the mustang next to it)

Like the rest of you, I've also owned several cars in the past. But unlike some of you, all of my present and past cars are all MITSU. 1st - 97 eclipse RS - bought it spanking new then found out that it lack speed so I had my brother take over the payment. 2nd - 1st gen (2nd series) GSX - this car have balls, I would've kept it but it got jacked.  3rd - 99 eclipse GST - this car I still own to this day, it has various upgrades like (EXtreme downpipe+h/f cat + hayame e/h - 3" system, autometer boost & A/f ratio guages, fet turbo timer, abx shocks (adjustible), extreme manual boost controller, b&m short shifter, RRE upper and lower i/c pipes, greddy B/o valve, greddy catch can, razo shifter and pedals, alteeza rear lights, 18" sukudo rims (ADR)) 4th - 00 M/S Limited - this is wifey's car. So, as you can see, we are my family and I are very satisfied with the performance of our Mitsu vehicles. I just hope that the maintenance wasn't that expensive. AL |

Our other vehicle is a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7L V8 High Output.
It has a 2" OME lift, 265/65R17 (31") tires, ARB Bull Bar, Warn XD9000 winch, Kargomaster roof rack with light brackets, spare tire, shovel, and hi-lift brackets, full size spare. IPF (two pairs) on the bull bar. Rocky Road rock rails, GPS, etc, etc.
The Montero Sport is the wife's vehicle the Grand is mine.
Oh, 0-60 on the Grand Cherokee is 7-sec flat. I suspect after all the extra weight Iv'e added it has dropped to about 7.5seconds.
