They just want to start this thread so they can brag about their overpriced, expensive status symbols, what pieces of junk modern cars are.  I have a pig (cavy) that gets from point A to point B faster than most autos today, esp. when you consider traffic.  Seriously vehicles today the big thing is designs and styling, not functionality, reliability, driveability.  People look at a car and they say 'ooh that looks nice I want it' but in reality the piece of crap.  Anything you'd drive off a lot today has barely any power, front wheel drive, handles poorly around the corners, poor traction, a glut of 'features' you will never really use, unreliable (no redundant systems or backup embedded computer), high center-of-gravity, poor visibility, uses plastic (not steel), and weighs half a ton more than it should.  The worst part about the reliability is that modern cars have an embedded computer (PC-104 or other single-board computer) and if that fails your car is hosed (be ready to pay $10,000. to the manufacturer to replace a $300. PC board).

That was not my attention in the slightest.

I was just curious.


A Mazda Protege5 is not a "status symbol" car, it's a 4 cylinder Station wagon for cripes sake...

although it does handle very, very well. ;D
