Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 08, 2009 3:27 pm) I was never in the market for a motor home, but I remember thinking that if I had been, I would have avoided one with a Renault engine. My reasoning was, even if it was a good engine, there are so few of them in the U.S. that I wouldn't feel confident about parts and service beyond the warranty. Incidentally, that Clio I rented performed very well, and, as might be expected, delivered great fuel economy. |

Replying to: explorerx4 (Nov 08, 2009 7:50 pm) Still, I wouldn't mind having one for a while. Not my kind of car but I could find some gold chains at the Thrift store  Here's one for sale! (scroll down) http://carsforsale.classifieds1000.com/make/Lincoln/Mark_VII As usual, it has the obligatory hallucinatory mileage claims we've come to know and love with sellers of diesel cars.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 09, 2009 7:07 am) With around 116 hp, I'm guessing 0-60 in about 20 seconds or so? They were EPA-rated 23/29 (20/26 by the newer standards), so they are pretty economical for their bulk. But I don't know if I could put up with anything that slow. Maybe if you mainly just drive it around town, and all your interstate merges are long, downhill ramps.
