R40 Slants and R40M - St. Louis didn't do a good job with the car bodies (like Budd did with the R32) and the slants are plain ugly with the gates that had to be added. I expect the R32's to outlast them. I used to hate R16's but they are long gone. |

R142, R142A, R143, R160A, R160B, R44, i dont much like R46s but theyre very smooth when riding them, i would like R68/A alot more if they were still singles, same goes for the R62/As. |

The R44 is the weakest link to me because the floors look like nyc streets with dunes and potholes and shit, and also them bitches b leakin when they in the rain so if you are on a computer and the water drips on your laptop you're screwed. |

Their get-up-and-go got up and left when the final field shunt step was disabled. I will say this much: the R-68s do quite well on the Broadway express. |

True, but by the time I saw them for the first time, I'd already gotten used to seeing route and destination signs on the end bulkheads, and the BMT standards had neither. Plus I thought they looked just plain ugly. Mind you, I was all of ten when I first saw them and didn't know how durable and indestructible they were. |

R44: I really didn't like the side glass (windows?) on the doors, but that's just me. I also don't like the silver painted stripe, not as appealing as the pure steel on the R46. Ridewise, no real complaint, except a little bumpy at times, just a little.R68/A: For some reason, these cars are scratchitti targets all the time. And, they seem to drag too, but again, that's just me. R142s: I don't like these, but yet I like the R142As (Most of the 4's anyway). The R142s have aged very quickly to me, before they could really be put to use (A lot of the side signs on the ones I ride have some blackouts, but so do some of the R142As). Everything else, I have no complaint, except the rusting on the R38s. Gotta go. |

The only differences that I see are that the R160s and R143s have bent sides and the R160s have the FIND displays. |

Personally, I think they're butt ugly, but then again, I think that of the R40 Slants, R44s, R46s, R68s, R142s, R14s, R160s, and to some degree the R62As. |

The R44s; they're slow, have dim lighting,have a crappy ride, have slow doors, and they're not built as well as the R46s. If Budd built them, they would've been better. |
