Congratulations on the new cage!

massacremasses · October 15th, 2012, 05:49 PM

Thanks!

Its mostly for the wifey, but I got the tow package to tow motorcycles and it has a roof rack so I can buy the attachments to bring my mountain bike place

I like. Interested in hearing more about it, along with the new CX-5. Both of them look to be big steps forward in the small to midsize crossover market.

I really like it. I didnt make the same COSTLY mistake I made last year when I bought the Fiesta. I test drove this. I romped on it. Not any harder than I would my own car, but I actually TESTED it. haha. And I liked it a lot. We took a HUGE hit on the trade in on the Fiesta, but I wanted to get out from under it. I was not happy with it at all. The gas millage was great, but it was tiny, and most of all the transmission was garbage. Seriously, it made noises when it shifted and that was "normal"... yuck.

So thats why I made sure and test drove this thing around a lot. city and freeway. Its got plenty of pep with the 2.0 Ecoboost engine. feels about the same as a V6. Maybe even a little more peppy than my moms V6 highlander (06 I think)

I made sure it came with a few things. Ecoboost was a must, but I was going to go with the 1.6 SOOO glad they had the 2.0 with everything I wanted. I also wanted Sync, (its awesome and a touch screen) the tow package, 4WD, and as a bonus it came with a roof rack

Im seriously stoked on this little mommy car. It has good safety ratings, my ins. only went up like $15 a month and overall im impressed. Ill let you know how its going with it a month or so when I get some more seat time in it.

Everytime I see Oroville.

massacremasses · October 18th, 2012, 05:57 PM

haha psshhhh its not that bad. I hang in decent circles. We brush our teeth, and bathe often. Also dont use meth... That helps a lot

CynicalC · October 24th, 2012, 12:06 PM

My girlfriend loves her fiesta, I like it too. But I am very worried about the transmission. It clunks and knocks and winds out sometimes when it shouldn't. Might take a hit and trade it for a fiat 500

Exactly, and when we went and talked to the dealership about it they just said it was normal.. Seriously. Its like it didnt know what gear to be in sometime... I didnt like it at all. I like this car a lot more. And we still have the rolla for pretty decent gas millage for our local county adventures. Road trips will still be done in the new car since I dont trust the rolla out of my 120 miles AAA towing radius. lol

I like the usual green advertising.

Put a turbocharger in an engine and it becomes eco boost. Lovely.

I rode Table Mountain 'backwards' from Cherokee to Oroville coming back from Chico this past Sat evening. I had my sidebags full of tools, trying to save gas money while doing work on my rental... the sunset was awesome. Justin have you been up that road since we hit it back when?

But it is funny that Oroville has such a bad rep, it needs billboards on the freeway to sell itself. Maybe I've drank the kool-aid, but Oroville is awesome.

Nice car, btw.

Yeah thats a fun ride. When I get another street bike Ill deff hit you up again. (So yeah its been awhile since Ive ridden it, I havent had a street legal bike in a new months now.)

Oroville itself isnt that bad. As far as real violent crime it is really tame. You just have to worry about people being scum bags. Scum bag crimes like theft, and destruction of property are fairly common. There is a lot of welfare recipients since it is the county seat and if you live in the county seat you receive your check first... So with that comes a certain class of "life long" welfare recipients. So that, plus the higher meth usage does make it not the greatest place people wise. Country wise its awesome. We have the lake, the foothils, and rice fields for duck hunting.. Again people suck, the land is great. lol
