Some time ago we were talking about what kinds of cars are commonly abandoned on the side of the road. Since I do tons of freeway driving I frequently see them.

First contestant… a 2021 Ford Bronco Sport.

I saw a few of these along my route from Florida. Always shitty Nissans.

I'm not a h-uge fan of Honda, but it is as surprising as if you had seen a Camary...

My 2017 has been all good save for the horrible decision I made at the time to be cheap and not get the V6. I figured I would get used to the four cylinder after some time while saving money on the purchase cost and get a little more gas mileage. Pfft, negative. Under no circumstances will I ever buy a four cylinder car again.

What did you dislike about the 4 cylinder? Is it a lack of power?
