So recently spent a few days out at the beach in Florida - had a bunch of airline and Expedia credits due to two cancelled trips so decided to get myself and my other half out of the same 4 walls we have been living, working, eating and sleeping in for the past 3+ months. Flew into Tampa and...

Had a '12 E350 4Matic sedan for a short period of time until it met an early demise. Engine mounts are an early failure on the E350, my prior C300 mounts were going bad so seems MB engine mounts are just weak. Dealer quoted me something ridiculous like $1600 to replace the engine and trans...

Originally Posted by JimPghPA How much does running the AC or heat reduce the range? Can you pre-cool the vehicle before using it? In Atlanta GA if it were mine, I would like to be able to pre-cool the cabin before use on hot days. A/C is not too dramatic - in "Normal" which is full cooling...

So figure I would pop in quickly to post a short term review (~3.5 months and ~875 mile) review of my short range CPO 2016 VW E-Golf toaster on wheels. Why I bought it: After 2.5 years of driving an average of 6-7k/miles annually and dealing with horrific fuel economy with both gassers and...

Another alternative to the big carriers that I have had very good experience with is Xfinity Mobile - only bad is its only available if you are a Comcast/Xfinity cable customer. Have been with them for almost 2.5 years now and never an issue and service and coverage has honestly been better than...

I'm actually very curious how the newer VCM 3.5's work out. My parents are on their 3rd Pilot (one of each generation - first two gens were EX with no VCM and their current 3rd gen is EX-L w/VCM), they do 95% rural (55 MPH speed limit) driving so it is active pretty regularly and they just...

For just being overall garage queen but not leaving me stranded - Chrysler (both Daimler era and Fiat Chrysler era). In Daimler defense my '99 Neon was engineered and designed prior to the merger. For leaving me stranded and spending a significant amount of time on the back of a tow truck or...

Originally Posted by Mainia I pulled these up, I was surprised at the high pressure speced. Must be a heavy car with the batteries. I always go higher then the side door rating that they use for comfort ride for Grandpa. I would they 46-47 psi. You can go as high as 51 psi...

Originally Posted by aualtima3.5 Pezzy: Do you know if they did roadforce or static balance? I'm pretty sure mine was static after talking to a tech.

I have a Greenworks 1600PSI (very similar competitor to Sun Joe) - that I have had for ~2 years now. Use it to clean a small patio (vinyl siding and roof and concrete floor) about 3-4x per year and it gets lent out regularly to friends and family quite regularly for whatever they are using it...

Yup - Nissan 1.6 needs premium all day. The 1.6 they put in their price leader $9,900 Versa needs highest dollar fuel to perform because that is what their customers demand.

Yeah give it 80-100 miles before you start celebrating. Had a Fiat 500 with an evap leak and even after new gas cap it took somewhere near/north of 80 miles for the CEL to trigger....at which point the Chrysler dealership proposed replacing the tank and all the lines to the tune of almost $1,000.

So I have not had good experience with prior Bridgestone tires and have always been a fan of Michelin. My certified pre-owned '16 eGolf SE came with brand new Bridgestone Ecopia + tires and I didn't feel the need to negotiate having brand new tires removed and something else put on. I have to...

I have had both beige and black interiors - only 1 beige interior and NEVER again. My one beige interior vehicle was my 2006 Jetta 2.5 that had a beige leatherette interior and beige carpet and floormats (VW smartly changed the carpet even in the beige interior cars to black in 2007/2008) - it...

My family has had very good luck with Frigidaire front loaders. My parents set is going on 10+ years without much issue - dryer actually died around year 5 so its now mismatched set but the washer is still soldiering on, didn't have any issues with mildew/mold in the gasket until my sister moved...
