Ford Fusion gen 2 requires the bumper to come off to change the headlight bulbs and you need a ratcheting socket wrench with an extension along with a pair of hefty pliers just to change the battery. Also, the inside of the glove compartment has to come out to change the cabin air filter. If the radio dies it takes out the entire infotainment screen and you have to remove three different trim pieces to access it. The lug nuts are steel threaded cores with an aluminum cladding so if a shop decides to use an impact gun to install them they shear off the cladding and make them really annoying to remove. Also, if you ever get bad fuel, even once, you might as well pay a shop to do a fuel system purge and clean the injectors because it'll take you literally months of adding fuel system cleaner to your car to stop it randomly stalling. Audi may have their peculiarities, but man if my current car doesn't annoy the crap out of me sometimes. I'm just glad I had the transmission fluid and filter serviced at 85k miles to avoid having transmission faults. Also, no matter what the manufacturer says about their cars and the reliability of their transmissions, find a reliable transmission shop in your area and get your transmission serviced between 85-100k miles if you intend to keep your car until it dies. Mine cost $300 to get them to service that and change the diff oil and it was absolutely worth it. Rebuilding a transmission for any car tends to run in the thousands if it can be repaired easily. Replacement transmissions can get pricey and then you still have service charges for the installation. which takes hours.

GM did a disservice when phasing out Oldsmobile. They killed what made an Oldsmobile an Oldsmobile by the late 90s

Say what you will, but vehicles like the Aurora, Intrigue, and Alero were quite decent at the time. Compelling enough alternatives in a competitive space and very slightly more unique than the average boxes on wheels. Underperforming and average quality for sure, but good equipment, good value, decent styling, and strong reliability. The Aurora especially was pushing entry luxury at the time. It is a shame how they went, but we had good experiences with late-model Olds cars. Never really experienced these mediocre SUVs though.

Every brand that ever made an impact in the car community got the worst treatment of death from GM. Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Holden all have the worst and depressing deaths all because of how GM handled it.

@@MidnightMechanic that’s my Bravada. The passenger side kick panel was harvested from the corpse of an s10 blazer.

Second gen Bravada grilles didn't even fit properly when they were new.

Back in late 90's I had friends with both Blazers and Bravada's and you could literally just grab stuff on the front of either and rip them off. The Blazer seemed particularly loose fit and barely snapped together. Just grab a turn signal and pull it off the front of the car, lol. Fast forward a number of years and I bought a well used 2 door Blazer as a winter beater and it did have great heat, great stereo, and the 4WD worked just fine, and it looked handsome in 2 door form. Stuff would fall off if you slammed the door hard enough to compensate for the sagging hinges.

So I work in this field, and it's really not quite that bad (yet). There are four big Tier 1s in this area - Bose, Harman, Alpine, and Panasonic, and another two you've never heard of called ASK and PSS. System price is mercilessly smashed down by the customer, as is par for the course in automotive components, and the audio system has to compete for space with everything else they're building into cars nowadays (DEF tanks and battery packs for mild-hybrid systems are the worst) but the parts are still a lot better than base speakers, and the systems get special attention to better tuning, and the result ends up being at least good enough that unless you're really motivated, most people will live happily with the branded system and not rip it out. As for the brands, some are more involved and hands-on in the process than others are - it's not "just" licensing. The branded audio system is a good add to a new car if you intend to keep it stock for most of its life. But if all you want is a ton of bass, you'll need to just get the base system and then replace the stock speakers and head unit and add a subwoofer enclosure in the trunk for an unsophisticated but LOUD system. The branded systems are steadily getting better, and where they have the edge over aftermarket is in careful sound tuning and better integration with the car's infotainment hardware.

Yeah the Bose speakers in GM vehicles were garbage in the late 90s and early 2000s.

I know car audio and home audio are vastly different, but one of the best surround sound systems ive ever heard was a meridian 3d system inna range rover autobiography. Some companies (mostly luxury brands) actually do take the time to properly make a good system. Lexicon, meridian, bowers and wilkins, and mark levinson systems are probably the best car audio systems around if you dont want to bother going aftermarket

@stirange my 2006 mazda 3 has the bose audio package and it’s pretty solid! i love my mazda 3 not much of a looker in the rust belt but it’s been amazing for the 4 almost 5 years of ownership!

My 2006 Scion xB has an Alpine system and it's pretty good The Pioneer system in my old 2006 Scion xB was pretty good too

I have to agree with you there, the silhouette of my car looks like if you prompted a child with the task of drawing his grandmother’s SUV from memory.

The greatest thing about a Blazer is that by the time you're done with the payments it's falling apart and costs more in repairs than the payments were. The Bravada just cranks the debt to 11. It's a perpetual debt machine!

They were often traded and sold off to multiple owners and rotted in our harshly salted conditions, or beat to hell and back as they were passed down to kids. Once vehicles like the X5, Q7, ML, Escalade, Navigator, and other big name, big money tanks hit the market, these things disappeared real quickly here. Now?
