Yes, many motors have worn out before 200k miles, for bad maintenance.

Not really, the wear on the motor is greatly increase running it only cold...he has an EV he could drive instead...boggles my mind!

It's a bit self-indulgent to drive a gas car 1.9 miles, compromising its longevity, then complain about fuel dilution...and you have the option of driving your EV. The Miata is a fun high performing car, yet you ignore that mission during your drive to/from work. You are wasting a nice set of...

Yes, there are those who really "need" such vehicles, but most are just garage queens, that rarely tow anything, rarely haul anything, and rarely do more than just transport someone to work and back home. I prefer not to crap all over our earth...we only have one...as to my neighbors who think...

Birds of a feather...all those makes are the worse in dependability, reliability, and longevity...and the cost of ownership, in general, is high.

What a huge waste of $$! It drinks gas like crazy, and Jeeps have a terrible dependability record. I suppose at $107k selling price, it will sell ok, as long as our country is afflicted with toxic masculinity, and we have 40+-year-olds with a Junior High School mentality...It seems these Jeeps...

What you wrote is what Ford and Ram buyers say, to make themselves feel better for buying low-quality products. A recall is a LEGAL TERM and LEGAL ACTION, so car companies just don't do them unless they MUST be fixed. In other words, you can correspond/tie the number of recalls to quality.

Those things really suck the gasoline!

I too have a Hybrid Camry (2022) and a hybrid Rav4 (2021) and in either situation, if your gas engine is running "99.9%" of the time, then you are either driving 99.99% of the time freeways, forcing EV-only mode, or you do not know how to drive a hybrid...to drive a hybrid in the same way as a...

I'd suggest mashing the peddle to the floor upon first start, and for a good 5 minutes...that'll get things hot and ready! They call it red line for a reason: get the engine Red Hot Fast!

It's a waste of time, and frankly foolish to replace rotors that do not need replacing...silly! File this under "A fool and his Money are soon Departed"...

I set it to 3.14 lbs over...its the theory of Pi...I get 7 MPG additional!!

I am glad to see Dodge providing those who do not care about the earth a reason to abandon their gas-hog muscle cars for something faster (for the money), more dependable, and even a "roar" to satisfy their junior high school needs. There is a part of the American population who are 40+ years...

You bought a Buick?? With all the other models from Japan, and Korea, why would you buy such a car with so-so reputation?

Sure Ice Ages are cyclical, GRADUALLY...the climate change we have now is ABRUPT...get it now? Heavy-handed? Not for those who read books, are educated and stay aware of things here on earth.

It's interesting how most of the people that pooh-pooh CR are the ones that drive the worse cars around: VW's, Jeeps, Chrysler products, Italian cars, British cars, and other junk makes. In my 30 years of trusting CR, I cannot remember them ever being wrong. Go with science, boys...not emotion.

The Tiguan is purchased by people who do not research their big $$ buy. This vehicle is the worse in dependability, reliability, and MPG too. Why would anyone buy one when nearly all other makes offer far better fair? I'd be embarrassed to be seen driving one, frankly!

and I guess the earth and climate be ****ed...have you ever seen a picture of the earth from the space station? That think slice of blue is all the live supporting air we have. To run a v8 these days is to curse the earth, and one's grandchildren.

I don't buy that argument. My ride uses 0w-16 and I live in Las Vegas, so no, I use it with 100% confidence. I believe my 2021 Rav4 Hybrid will easily reach 200,000+ miles running on 0w-16 with 5,000 mile drains, and without burning oil. I've heard the same lame excuses about "more protection"...

Glad those gas guzzlers are going to be phased out. They are horrible for climate change, for one's retirement fund, and many "family man" types take money from their families so that they can indulge themselves with these $40k+ toys. Their cost of ownership is very expensive, and so now what...
