    Nissan Versa: Common issues?

    I'll echo this statement. Good luck finding a dealer willing to order or find one for you. I worked at a Nissan dealership in sales many years ago and the sales managers had ZERO interest in getting one for a customer. There is little mark-up on base models cars like the Versa and they would...

    Does this use a CVT? 300K miles is impressive! Have you had to replace any of the belt driven accessories, alternator, water pump, etc?

    Anyone experienced more MPG by running Exxon Synergy gas?

    What gasoline does Costco use? I've thought that they use whatever gas is the cheapest at the time, which means you could be getting Mobil, Shell, or whichever brand is cheapest for them at the time.

    Residential Electric Pressure Washer Recommendations

    Are you asking me or @The Critic ? From the link, the reviewer says you risk tripping a breaker <20amps if you use a certain nozzle size and their foam cannon, so their recommendation was to use a 20 amp breaker.

    Residential Electric Pressure Washer Recommendations

    Hi all, I am looking into getting an electric pressure washer for home use. It would be used for car washes, home exterior and side walks. I am interested to hear others positive or negative experiences with different brands. I've seen brushed motors and brush-less motors avaiable, but not sure...

    FWD vs RWD mowers

    My previous mower was a basic MTD brand FWD self-propelled mower similar to the Toro pictured above. FWD is fine for flat yards and is much more maneuverable compared to my current RWD Toro Super Recycler. However, I bought the super recycler for its improved mulching ability, larger engine, and...

    How dumb would buying a 2013 Chrysler 200 be?

    That's freakin' hilarious. That's car salesmen speak for, "Our used car manager is giving an extra cash bonus to anyone who can move this turd!" I know, I worked in car sales before....

    Mazda 3 - 1st gen review after ~3yrs

    Yep, I remember looking into the spin-on conversion, but I began to appreciate being able to inspect the filter going in and coming out after an oil change. I actually prefer the cartridge style now. Thankfully, VW has placed the cartridge filter on top of the engine and completing an oil change...

    Mazda 3 - 1st gen review after ~3yrs

    I purchased a new 2007 Mazda 2.3 hatchback and owned and maintained it until last year when it was totaled in a collision. I've only heard the 2.0 and 2.3 engines being reliable "workhorses". The biggest complaint I know of for the 2.3 is the plastic composite cartridge filter cap on the bottom...

    2022 Corolla Cross HPL PP 0W-8 30k mi OCI

    With the viscosity @ 100C being 8.39, doesn't that make this oil basically a Xw-20? I've seen less viscous numbers on reports with Xw-20 oils.

    GM car show photos

    Cool. I just read an article about that "Jetfire" Oldsmobile. A factory installed water/meth injection system! However, it just goes to show, never add extra maintenance that the "average" consumer must monitor, as that engine turned into a flop.
