I have to say the Lincoln does a bit better than the Chevette as far as comfort goes. Although I actually didn't mind the Chevette as much as much as other people would lol. But it has A/C....and rides well...and goes more than 75mph if I need it to...

My Grandfather actually had the original sticker for it. Said 17 city, 25 highway. I'm going to try going 60mph with it and see what happens. I noticed it coasts like crazy as well, should work well with pulse and glide....if I could ever do that in LA
