My first car was a 1989 ford escort hatchback and I miss it terribly. They’re fairly difficult to find now thanks to the stupid cash for clunkers program that laundered hundreds millions into the auto industry and wasted tens of millions of perfectly fine cars so that people could get into consumer debt and waste a shitload of resources getting into a modern suv that is barely more efficient in most cases (1989 ford escort hatchback got 25mpg on average, in line with many modern boat cars, and doesn’t destroy pedestrians or take up 8 city blocks to park)
That mpg is stellar, but I even felt they drove/handled quite well too. So much nostalgia with my first 94 model
It made me love small cars forever. Even now I am a fairly large person at 189cm but I drive a Smart Fortwo. They just are far more nimble and responsive, like a go kart. Whenever I drive a friend or family’s suv or truck it’s like “how do you do this? This is like piloting a boat”
I'll raise you a modern 3/4 ton truck, it handles like a shipping container, and barely fits anywhere. I love that truck, but if it wasn't for work, I'd opt for a sedan.
Had one for three months before the gas tank rusted through and couldn’t get a replacement. Loved that car ❤️
