IMO the Mustang did the only good job of bringing back the classic car look. If the mustangs handled better I'd be sure to get one. I loved the fusion though...

Looks good dropped too, just I personally dont like the rims. Probably cus they're stock off of a different car, and I personally hate stock rims unless they're like sexy like BMW's

I've been considering one of those for a long time now...

I'm on the border. The drop helped a bit, but I like them better stock, just my taste that's all. However, that thing is pretty clean and good pictures of the car always help.

Keep up the good work.

i like the way it's raked. looks pretty sweet. personally, i think it needs a bit more sidewall on those tires though. that's the only thing i don't like about it.

I think those cars are kick ass. I tried to get my wife to get one. She hated it. How was the stock ride/power?

The ride was great (still good with the springs). Its just a little heavier than the cavalier with the same motor (2.2 ecotec). You can also get them with the 2.4 ecotec which has a little more pep. Over all I love it. The only thing I have found to be bad is the blind spot caused by huge a-pillars.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Looks good. I like the rake, but agree that you deffinitely need to get some taller tires, and that will help the look.

I'm trying to talk my wife into getting one. I built one like I want. Leather, remote start, 2.4DOHC engine block heater, the whole deal and it was 20k. Right in my budget =P

I would imagine FWD. Although it could use the drive train for a solstice. Thats a good question.

Looks a lot better dropped, I still think its an ugly car, but I know its one of those love it or hate it things.
Find a way to drop the rear, the front looks lowered right!
and I can picture that on some 20s!

THANK YOU!! i couldn't figure out why it looked funny to me.

i think its a decent looking car. i test drove one when they first came out. NOOOOOO power at all with the 2.2...i can't imagine the 2.4 helping out THAT much. the ride was nice but for someone 6'2" tall, BLIND SPOTS GALORE!! pretty much i could see straight out. thats it. and even then, the rear view mirror killed my vision to the right.

on top of that, i couldn't find a comfortable position. seat back for comfortable legs and i felt right on top of the wheel. far enough so i wasn't humping the wheel put me tip-e-toed on the pedals. the lock/windows were in an akward position and the radio was too far away.

i like the look though. i can imagine its probably more comfortable for someone smaller...





GO PATS!!!

ahhh saw your post of the drop on hhrclub redecocav, i was wondering if it was someone from here. looks nice except for the wheels (ive just never liked those whhels) but other then that looks good so far. you got the brushed door handles and mirrors, i wished i could have found one with them instead of the chrome.





redneck, im 6-4 and i dont have much issues with visability. the rearview mirror pushed up higher then most people know about. once i found that out even that issue went away for me. i do agree the window switches are in a stupid location though. and you can definatly tell a diffrence in the 2.4 over the 2.2 the radio really isnt an issue to me since most of your used controls are on the steering wheel.
