The new nine-speed automatic transmission has made it smoother than the five-speed, but I still found it lurchy and lumbering. |
The utilitarian solid axles fore and aft make for a lurchy ride, and the flat windshield whistles while it works. |
Compared with the popular Ford Escape, the taller Liberty felt more lurchy and less peppy. |
And lurchy boys like Tony do not gravitate, if their teammates can help it, to the rangy, pivotal positions of shortstop and second base. |
