    Does fuel economy matter to you at all?

    i'm blessed to own 4 vehicles. a 1994 Land Cruiser that gets 12 mpg with a tail wind, two turbo Subarus that get 20 with all around driving (maybe 26-27 at highway only speeds), and a Nissan 350 that will get 28 on good highway driving. All but the cruiser take premium It would be nice to have...

    Originally Posted By: hpb Easy decsion, take the buyback deal and get a new Mazda CX5 diesel. This is exactly what I've suggested to her if she decides to go the buyback route. That, the Golf all-track, and the new RAV4. I also like the looks of the new Buick AWD wagon

    Best wax for vehicle stored outside in FL

    I don't know if you specifically want a wax, or if you're just using that term in an old-timey way. But, your best choice is not a wax at all, but instead a sealant or ceramic. The sealant will last you much longer than a traditional wax. Yes, "nu finish" was one of the original polymer...

    2013 VW Jetta TDI Buyback--Buyback or Not?

    Ex g/f (and good friend) has a 2013 Jetta TDI subject to the buyback. 71K, never a problem with the car in 4.5 years. If she takes the buyback, she gets mid 24's. Just say 24500 for this argument. If she keeps the car, she gets around 6K. Just say an even 6000 for this argument. So, if she...
