Hyundai/Kia engines are not very fuel efficient. The other part is Chrysler V6s are fairly efficient for what they are compared to their four-cylinder offerings as well.

Or people who don't want to pour a ton of investment in a disposable product that will lose its value, or people who live In metropolitan areas with very tight parking, or people who are being responsible by buying what they can afford and spending the money that they are saving towards their...

When it comes to appliances, my advice is stay away from LG and Samsung as most of the people I know that have them have More frequent problems. These two companies do not rely on this industry to stay in business. I try to stay with the businesses that rely on this as their primary industry...

As much as I would like better efficiency ratings, the trend is moving towards lower efficiency. Consumers if they even check for efficiency ratings look for 99% efficiency but not the micron rating that goes along with it. I'm not sure if this was a compromise in exchange for longer intervals...

As much as I didn't like the more recent versions, I lament the loss. I would have rather seen Nissan finally learn from their mistakes and bring back a proper automatic and if possible a V6 like they had in the mid-2000s. Those were really nice cars for the price point. I understand the...

My understanding is that generation of the fusion is based off the Mazda 6 platform. Aside from the EPAS electric steering from ZF, it's a durable platform. The first generation didn't have the greatest crash test ratings, but the second generation improved it some. It's a solid choice I think...

Is this pretty typical for German built batteries or is the process of shipping batteries detrimental to their lifespan?

I've been working on some house projects lately and thought that it's been 7 years since my last water heater has to be replaced. Last time I caught it right after it sprung a leak before it flooded beyond the floor of the utility room. Unfortunately, the room doesn't have a drain and it's in...

My question is how are they being paid. When I did delivery driving, we were paid waiting wages which were BELOW minimum wage plus delivery fees with tips being part of your wage. If they are being paid waiting wages, I frown at the owners for being tightwads. If they are getting standard wages...

Here are the problems I am aware of with both. Buick: 4T65 has hit or miss reliability, it needs to be maintained religiously at 30k miles with factory fluid. 3800 series 3 is bulletproof but the parts connected to it are not. My brothers Grand Prix developed a misfire problem 3 mechanics...

Precisely why this is important. If there was a guaranteed engine or transmission failure after a certain time period on a ICE regardless of maintenance or how gentle you operate it, you want to know what you are getting yourself into.

If you are going multiple years, I would error on the side of going with wire backed only.

It depends on what you want and who installs it. More basic seer levels are cheaper but allow for more fluctuation in temperature being just on or off versus higher seer levels run more often on a lower stage but will maintain the temperature, generic brands with shorter warranty periods are...

Frankly I trust a Tough Guard over a non wire backed ultra.

No problem, it's something new to you and it's reasonable to want to double check. Sorry if my response was a bit rude.

Fram extra guard. Decades of these have been cut open on here long past the rated interval and none have ever torn. It took me a decade to accept it but the results don't lie.

EVs are the right vehicle choice for some but not for all as they are today. If you're daily commute is in excess of 100 miles and most recreational trips can be arranged with recharging at hotel stays, then it works great as the EVs will bring about the most savings by a more heavy use compared...

Toyota uses Denso oil filters as their standard filter which has rock catcher level efficiency and yet Toyotas are known to last hundreds of thousands of miles with those. You are way overthinking this. Get the Fram Endurance (which is a RP and Amsoil rebadge), install and laugh all the way to...

🙄🙄🙄...the Fram Endurance is a synthetic filter vs those others are cellulose or cellulose with microglass enhanced media. A synthetic media has a higher holding capacity by its nature that is why synthetic filters consistently have higher mileage ratings. How many miles were you planning on...

Nothing wrong with Cooper, I'd go with Cooper over Goodyear, Bridgestone, pirelli, BFG, etc.
