That doesn't make it a shit engine though, not even by a long shot .The engine maybe powerful, but it is not a car that needs a powerful engine. In a vehicle that is supposed to be comfortable, why do you need a powerful engine that feels like it is fastened to the chasis with twine?? Floor the thing getting on the highway and it feels like the front end is trying to rip apart from the back end, something that is incredibly uncomfortable for the passengers.
The problem with the Escalade is that it's a real SUV built on a real Truck platform that tries to be luxurious by softening up the suspension. The result is just a squishy truck, with truck handling and truck gas mileage. I don't really think that makes it a bad car though. It just is what it is.
Now if the Escalade was an all new unibody platform and it had the same handling/comfort, then I would call it a bad car.
ZAZ 968M is pretty awful. Personal Experience
1 litre V4 engine in the back and 40HP of power..
...and I should point out that I've always hated the Wrangler. It looks awful, it sounds terrible, and the owner looks like pillocks in it (and half the time they are useless drivers).
Absolute rubbish!
i not trying to be a spoilsport, but has anyone driven the cars presented ?
I actually like that ZAZ (a bit more than the NSU). How hard are they to come across, and what do they cost? Can a 6' 2" person fit in the car? I'd love one if I can be bothered to figure out how to shove a rotary in it.
NEWS FLASH!
I heard this on the radio this morning. The following has actually been voted "the worst car in the world."
The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
It scored below average (pretty much failed) almost everything.
Handling, comfort, accessibility, performance, fuel economy, noise, reliability, safety...the list goes on.

Not sure what you're reffering to, but there were euro Fords and Lancias with V4s, probably more...
Well, I'm sure a Land Rover Defender would be shit on the 'Ring, but that's not to say it doesn't have its merits.

Personally, no, I've never driven I Korean car. I've been a passenger in a Hyundai Elantra and I could easily tell that it was awful, even from the back seat. I also spent several days traveling around Tasmania in a Hyundai... Something or other.... Do they make a car called a Sinatra? That doesn't sound right... Anyway, I never drove that one either but I could still tell that it did *nothing* well. It was clearly designed and made by people who don't give two shits about cars.i not trying to be a spoilsport, but has anyone driven the cars presented ?
