Date: 2008-11-25 02:27 pm (UTC)I can speak with authority about the Mustang, and everything that you complained about is either (A) something most Mustang owners don't care about; or (B) something they actually want ("rough" ride). Ford makes an intentional trade-off here, favoring good limit-handling to smooth ride.
It sounds like, for the type of vehicle you were seeking, the Civic is a good fit.
The quality numbers ar not fudged. They are done by independent groups such as Consumer Reports and J.D. Power, both of whom in the past have been very unfavorable toward the Detroit 3.
