Smile Comparisons between Ford, Dodge and Chevy

Ok I just got back from the Iowa State Fair last night. I saw Dodges new Mega Cab at a display there. which was pretty big on the inside like it says on there website. But the exterior wasn't 2 exciting at all. Then I went 2 the Chevy display sat in the cobalt 4 door rear seat was very roomy and comfy. The surban was nice 2 in the back seat. Then I tried out Chevy's new minivan it was impressive 2 in the back seat. Then I finally was able 2 go 2 the ford display. And greg biffles team was there reving the motor so loud your ears would almost pop. Anyway I sat in the new 500, f-150 f-250 freestar, freestyle, all has nice interiors which chevy is getting better at in there cars and minivans. But ford is still number 1 in my opion for interior conviences. Such as places 2 put stuff on the dash and such. And Ford has overall I think the best trucks out there. But I have 2 give chevy some credit for having pretty good engines in there cars. And a little bit better trannys in there cars 2.

I didn't really see anything at the ford booth besides a stock car that was there. I would say chevy because they had more stuff u could get there. Well its was free and we have 2 2000 cavaliers that have had 0 problems with them. But I still do like fords better tho.

Well we used 2 have a clubwagon. Rusted out like a tin can. But it had a nice engine in it. We had 2 take it 2 the junkyard and somebody wanted the engine so it took it out. And last time I saw it there was a car on top of it not even collasping the roof on it. Anway then we had a 1990 thunderbird tranny went out then the engine went out. So then my dad got a ranger that looked like it went through war or somthing. then it finally died. We have had 3 aerostars 2 of then had engine problems one had tranny problems. So now we have one aerostar, 2000 chevy cavalier ls sedan. Then we have a 2000 cavalier coupe both have been problem free. But my dad now likes chevys because of that. And my family is a ford family. But I do like chevy's a little bit but I still like fords better in a lot of ways. fordguy101

Thanks fordguy for the rundown. At least you get good mileage with the cavalier. Every MPG counts. Sorry for the problems with your Fords. I have had good luck with mine.

Idk why we had so many problems we took care of them. But could it be that it was because they were just older vehicles? I think my brothers 2000 cavalier now has like 134 thousand on it and it runs like its new. fordguy101
