    Early rides were definitely anything but reliable but they hung in and continued to improve, great cars today. What some forget or perhaps unaware of, early Honda's were no prize either.

    $14k?
    Thing was only $6k new.
    Did Shelby sign it?

    ^I'm guessing they hope that someone is really a Hyundai fan. Couple of years ago I saw a 70's Chevette complete with plaid seats listed for something like $18k. I actually emailed the guy and asked if he meant 1800. He was serious.

    Picked up my new Soul today. Happy with the purchase.

    The bawlin' BIG BLOCK 1.6L were the ones that went the distance, the smaller 1.4 was not as reliable. This one must have been tucked away or had significant rust proofing.

    Lots of people around me had them, been in many of them during that time, I was an early teen.

    Build quality? Fit and finish? Interior fit and finish.

    The 550 is just one hell of an all round ride, kudo's Ford. I definitely will not be skipping this gen Mustang.

    That is true. Nick was saying that he was comparing the A5 to his Ecoboost Mustang I presume. I agree that the this gen Mustang is outstanding in ride and performance compared to the S197.
