I get it. the truth is that the suspension on this car is crap overall. it wears out entirely too soon, and worse, as it wears the handling degrades dramatically. Lots of low end Ford and GM cars out there with 150k and 200k on the suspension and they are not eating tires or tripping over pavement joints.
but IMHO ChuckD has it right. invest $1000 (or more) and refresh the suspension and restore the car to quiet, comfy and controlled. Using good parts (Moog, powerflex and konis) it will be better than new. And *lots* less expensive than a new car.
btw its a little unfair/unrealistic to compare a brand new rental car with a 10 or 15 yr old car with 100k or more on the clock.
