I used to drive a FWD Dodge with a 2.5. It would get especially soft after cruising along a long, mostly straight stretch of road. Turning left at the end of that road put me on a moderate uphill grade where the darn thing wouldn't keep up with traffic even when wide open.

The only good thing I could say about that car is that it never failed to start in cold weather. However, it did blow its share of frost plugs.
