    Hyundai 2.0 i4

    Had an '04 Elantra for 8 years, just over 100k. Needed nothing except oil, filters, tires and a battery.

    Auto Insurance

    I'm a youngish single male with excellent credit. Geico and Progressive are always the cheapest for me and it's never close. Allstate, State Farm, etc. are always AT LEAST double. Even the cheapo places like esurance are more and they don't offer the high coverage limits I want.

    Seeking new car insurance

    I switch every few years between Progressive, AAA, Geico. I just switched from Nationwide to Progressive and my auto went down by about $400/yr and my homeowners about $150/yr.

    Honda Oil Life - how works?

    The OLM in my 2012 Civic has wanted me to go out to 12-13k in warmer temps, around 9-10k if it encompasses the winter months. I generally stick with 10k.

    How much does your car insurance go up every year?

    Went up another $45/year to around $1100 for me in the Detroit suburbs on my Civic. Goes up by that every year it seems, even though I've never made a claim, period. Over half my premium is the mandatory medical coverage.
