I recently had the 12V battery go out on my 2018 Accord hybrid. As previously noted, no warning at all until the dashboard exploded with warnings and the car did not start. Fortunately, it happened in my driveway and an easy fix with a AAA mobil battery install.

Actually, it could have been worse. I am reading about the trials and tribulations of those that have ordered new Corvettes. New cars being shipped to Michigan for repairs right from the Kentucky factory. No answers from GM about the status of the vehicles.

Costco / Kirkland, exclusively for my fleet. Top tier fuel at a great price!

Well, I went to look at the car last night. I pull a CARFAX report prior to meeting with the owner. The CARFAX report indicated a previous accident. From my inspection, the passenger side of the car had been completely repainted. The repairs appeared to have been skillfully done, but orange...

Going to look tonight at a 1995 BMW 325i convertible. The car has less then 50,000 miles on it. I find it attractive because it is a 5speed and appears to be in pristine condition. The seller is asking $15,000. Thoughts and comments on what I should be looking for. From my research, water pumps...

I have both a sedan, 2018 Accord hybrid, and a small SUV, 2011 Kia Sportage. They both serve a purpose in my lifestyle. These days, I do find that I am driving the Accord more often. You can't beat the 48-50 mpg,

I purchased a new HP laptop this week with Windows 11 "S" mode preinstalled. Your thoughts on retaining the "S" mode or switching to just 11. It looks like a pretty simple procedure to switch.

I just purchased Hyundai oil filters on Amazon for $5.00 yesterday. I am Prime, so delivery is free.

Agree, my Accord EX hybrid is exceptionally comfortable. Lots of cabin room and a hugh trunk. From my three years experience 50+ mpg warm weather, 44+ mpg in cool / cold weather.

I drank the VW Koolaid at their absolute worst. A 2002 Passat that absolutely self-destructed at 70,000 miles. Never a VW product again.

My Accord hybrid gets 48-50 mpg in warm weather and 44-46 mpg in cool weather. With a fill-up, it has a 600 mile range. For "long" drives it is very comfortable. If I recall correctly, the hybrid is only a $1,500 premium over the convential Accord. Unfortunately, in today's environment I have...

Not sure where you get that +25% higher insurance cost for a hybrid. I actully get a "hybrid" discount on my Accord with my AAA policy. An endorsment clearly deliniated on the policy.

Alfa Romeo!

The 5w/30 COSTCO flavor of Warren, which I recently purchased, is SP rated.

I purchased the COSTCO 5w 30 full syn last week. It is rated "SP". Pretty good deal for $21.99!
