Default How Good Is Your Au?

i can`t speak for you guys , but this week past i`ve been in 2 cars i have never been in before, and after driving the other 2 vehicles and hopping back into my old ford,(AU s2 XR6) i thought dam this thing is good to drive, admittedly the first car i drove was a Hyundai getz, ......... OMG IT WAS HORRIFIC, truly i hated it,
the ride in the au and effortless nature of driving it wonderful steering, very stable handling compared to the economy car,
early saturday i drove a lexus ls400, and it was very good car,did everything well, had everything that opens and shutsand over $100,000 buks new, but it just did`nt have the feel of the AU, but after driving it and hopping back in the au , wow Ford got it right in the AU,

i`ve had mine for 7 years, it`s been the rock of the family, when other family members cars have bit the dust, out comes the AU with a trailer for rescue operations, when a family member was sick in hospital for three months the au was the ever reliable taxi to go back and forth to hospital daily,
i`d be lying if i said i did`nt get bored with it at times, as i said it`s been my daily taxi for 7 years, a bit sorry i did`nt get the v8 (note to self if you really want the bigger engine get the bugger), small flaws aside, mine has been a truly ripping car.

any one else have a similar experience??
