The last MC was possibly one of the most-hated cars on a lot of car discussion sites. I never understood the venom.

I had an '02, and it was without a doubt the best built car I've owned. I've never had any mechanical trouble with any of my cars, but there have been some paint or fit and finish flaws in some of them. The MC was perfect.

The styling wasn't to some people's tastes, and the interior, while nicely designed, used a lot of cheap materials. The thin plastic dash panel in front of the passenger seat was pathetic. The hollow thump it made when you tapped it was kind of embarrassing.

Nonetheless, the car was enjoyable and practical. For a big, FWD coupe, it handled quite well too.
