Like a long distance runner or cross- country skier, you work up to a pace and stick to it. I shouldn't speak for everyone here. Most buy the car because it is affordable, has optional all-wheel- drive, and being a Subaru, it's over- engineered and thus going to prove a reliable plodder as long as you don't do anything criminal or stupid. At this point in time, the current lusty is in its last days. Subaru is not saying if the new car will be imported and whether it will be called the Justy of the Vivio if it is. That means con- Improved steering, better cotr0- sion protection. reduced wind noise and a redesigned tailgate latch are among the hundreds of details Ford has improved on Ranger for 1993.

XL Sport, XLT and STX trim designations. wider track width improves the Ranger's stance on the mad. Ranger engine choices for I993 range from the 2.3-litre twin-plug EFl four- cylinder to 3.0-liue and 4.(Hiue EFI V-6 engines. Ranger is offered with a five-speed manual transmission stan- dard, or a fbur-speed overdrive auto- matic is available as an option. 4x4 buyers will be attracted by Ranger's choice of manual or auto- matic four-wheel drive and the Ranger 4x4's exclusive "tough truck" features. Ranger 4x4s come with wheel flares, a special grille, distinc- tive wheels and an integral fog lamp lower front valence panel. SuperCab buyers will be impressed by the largest extended cab of all compact While the previous Ranger was Canada's best-selling compact pickup and Canada's pickup fuel economy champion the new Ranger's style and size are on target for the current pop- ularity of trucks as personal vehicles with its strong appeal to young buy- ers.

So that were three major drawbacks solved, but what about the steering? Four years ago in an ECVT lusty, turning under load caused the steering wheel to jolt over to the right in what was a dangerous display of torque steer despite the small number of horses involved. The variable ratio rack and pinion steering has solved torque steer for the most part, assisted by what appears to be a much larger anti-sway bar at the front which prob- ably also acts as a sort of Pan hard rod.
