Replying to: stephen987 (Jan 07, 2009 10:46 am) **** Well, I did mention the older ones to make my point more than anything. IMO, a 250SE was about the best of the lot - and the first of the 2nd generation W114/W115 era). Astounding cars, even today, and also why that era's SL roadsters still command a hefty premium. Drive an early 70s SL and it's just amazing how it doesn't show its age. IMO, a trick only a few cars have managed. The 2002Ti and the Porsche 928 are in this group. They seem to defy age in how they drive. And the sedan versions also are very good and under appreciated. |

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jan 07, 2009 5:22 pm) Hmm, I guess I'd just put the remote that works in the car that actually goes in the garage, rather than leaving it in the one that sits in the driveway.  If I ever needed to steal a car, I guess I'd start by smashing the windows of the ones with that keypad...figuring one of you guys probably left the keys in the locked car.

Replying to: akirby (Jan 07, 2009 6:35 pm) I think only from CDs as well but I'm not positive. And sync can call 911 in an accident - without a built-in phone, extra phone line and national call center to relay the call. It calls from your cell phone though right? My 74 year old mother does not have a cell phone so she'd be out of luck. I doubt she and my dad would pay the $20 per month OnStar fee, along with all the other GM owners I know, to have it call either though. The tech is out there and improving by the minute. However it's not foolproof just yet. Unless I'm missing something?

Replying to: bpizzuti (Jan 08, 2009 3:10 am) Mazda has been in the midsize class for years. The 6 has been around since '03, and the 626 was before that. And technically, the Fusion is "basically" a 6, since Mazda shared development with Ford on the CD3 platform (or GG/GY in Mazdaspeak), and the 6 was the first to market, a full 3 years before the Fusion went on sale.

Replying to: jeffyscott (Jan 08, 2009 7:31 am) yes you could smash the window, but then the alarm is going off and you still have to find the keys. try it and let us know how it works out.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jan 08, 2009 1:59 pm) Then have fun driving down the road in single digit temps with no driver's side window!  I too use that keypad on our Explorer all the time. It's often easier to use it when your hands are tied than to dig in your pocket for the fob.
