RC...makes me feel better about being a Ford kinda guy...on this site we are very honest about some of the quality issues with our MM and sometimes it sounds like a love/hate thing but all in all I am very happy with the whole package...now if I can get my wife out of it :bounce:

I've been happy with ours after a week of ownership. I haven't gotten out and given it a good cleaning, but so far I haven't noticed any primer spots or other quality issues. It has picked up a few scratches but that may have been in transit or sitting around the lot. I'm really happy with it! I've got the same problem as prchrman though - I don't get to drive it enough!

I wonder what other cars were included in the "fullsize car" class?

Hey she loves it! And it's her daily transport. I can't complain too much - I've got the Cobra and she can't drive a stick!! So that one is ALL mine! I do wish that I had my own Marauder to drive when I want.
