underrated cars? how about this list;

1: the ford fairmont. people tend to dismiss the car, but remember this is where the fox body mustang started, as well as the aero fox tbirds. just about everything that fits the mustang also fits the fairmont.

2: the maverick. this car replaced the falcon, and was a neat looking car that didnt get the love it deserved from ford.

3: the falcon. this car was a big seller for ford, but has been dismissed lately, especially the 64-65 and 66-70 models.

4: the dodge dart. a neat car from dodge that competed with the falcon.

5: the amc hornet. again a neat little car from amc that gets dismissed far too often. they were economical and reliable, and comfortable to drive.

That may have something to do with why the time I rode in a Tesla was June 7th.

The 2011+ is a different design based on the foreign market only Nissan Patrol and is a much better vehicle IMO. The first year of them, some had some front suspension issues - but after that a very solid vehicle.

The Patrol based ones are a HUGE step up. The Armada is woefully outdated and was not stellar to start with. When it first came out, it was average for the time. Now, it's picking at whatever scraps the Chevy Suburban wants to throw at it.

Hopefully a new Armada accompanies the new Titan next year.

The second gen Nissan Frontier. It's a good looking little pickup with decent powerplant. The resale values are all over the place, but not nearly as good as a Tacoma.

Tacomas are definitely underrated in Chicago. It wasn't until I moved to the West Coast that I'd even heard of the Tacoma. Every other driver in Seattle-land drives a Tacoma, lol, so depending on area, it is underrated.

And, I could not have critiqued the car as politely as you did.

Japanese cars are underrated, lots of people say Japanese cars are boring and bland. But in my personal experience, Japanese cars are the best. Japanese cars are reliable, easy to fix, cheap to maintain, and the resale value is good.

Korean cars used to be not very good, but lately the Korean cars quality is getting really good.

Young lady drives up in a newer Hyundai. Less then a year old.
She was at auto parts store to buy a new headlight bulb.




Enough said.
