1998 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"Very good first card"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, so far.
General comments?
I really like this Ranger. It is a single cab, but has plenty of room for me.
This is my first car. It is the perfect first car (or truck in this case).
The Ranger handles very well. The engine could use some more power.
The 5 Speed manual transmission is very good. It helps the performance a lot.
