Anyone know where I can find info on how Hyundai test their engines? I would like to know what kind of test these engines go through.

Which car would you pick? Prices are almost identical. Are these new Hyundai's just as reliable as a Toyota or Honda?

Price difference is 2800. The Corolla has the 1.8 and the Camry 2.5 Is one engine more reliable than the other? I want something that can last me 15-20 years with little problem.

Should the master cylinder reservoir contain any pressure? In the past when I would take the lid off the master cylinder I would hear a sound(for instance the type of sound you hear when u open a spaghetti jar) but now if I take the lid off I hear nothing. Do the caps go bad on these? Would...

What new cars 2015+ still use timing belts? Have all these auto manufactures switched over to timing chains now?

Hertz is selling a 2014 Sonic LT for 9k with 53k miles. They also have a few 2013 Ford Focus SE with 50k miles for 10k and a few 2014 Cruze LT's with just over 50k miles and selling for 11k. Are these good prices or am I better off spending 4k-5k more and getting a brand new car with zero miles...

My brake pedal goes low almost to the ground after a few stops. In the mornings or even after driving a few minutes without using the brakes the pedal seems somewhat normal. The fluid is full, so its not losing any. The car is 15 years old. Would you say a master cylinder? or could it be...

Does anyone know where I can find monthly new car sales figures all in one place? I can only usually find one make and model at a time. I would like to see total monthly car sales figures for each auto maker as well as figures being broken down by each model.

I hear the new Ecotec engines coming out next year have a WOT testing time of 2000 hours as one of the criteria for testing. I never heard of anything over 1000 hours yet alone 2000 hours. Does anyone know how many hours other car manufacturers test their engines at WOT?

I drive a 2001 Grand Am GT which was bought in September 2000. Back in 2003 or maybe 2004 I was having trouble with the turn signals not working and found out my car was part of a Hazard Switch recall which was the cause of the issue. My car is now again having the same trouble. Are recalls...

Is the 1.8 Toyota engine bulletproof? Is this engine easy on oil? Can I get over 300k on this engine if it is driven hard?

Has anyone hit the 200k mile mark without any issues in one?

Well I was trying to change the oil in my 2001 Grand Am GT and its impossible to get the drain plug out. I havent changed the oil in 5 years, has this anything to do with it? Would I be ok just changing the oil filter only? Any suggestions?

Which one is better? The Corolla is about 3k more than the Kia but I do plan on keeping the car 15-20 years, so reliability is a must.

For about the past 8 months my brake light has been coming on. I have added 2 bottles of brake fluid in that time. When I come to a stop now the brake pedal is lower to the ground(but I still have enough clearance to fit the tip of my shoe under it). The brakes almost feel as if I am driving a...

Why does my car start up super fast the colder it is outside? For instance on an average morning the car takes around 2 seconds(guesstimate) of cranktime for the engine to fire up but today it was in the single digits and all it needed was like 1/2 a second of cranktime for the engine to fire...

Which one would be better? I checked out the so called "true pricing" at a few dealers online and it looks like I can get a new Corolla for 15,700 vs. 16,500 for the Focus. I am just looking for a reliable car that will not break down on me and I prefer a car that has already been out a few...

These new cars have the dash lights on too along with DRL's. Why not just make the tail lights come on too? For instance on the Chevy Cruze it doesn't even seem like the headlights are at a reduce intensity during the day. The headlights along with dash lights are on whenever the car is on. You...

You can baby the car all you want but after that 10 year mark the rust and typical weather wear ie:hot/cold over and over again really get to it. Atleast that is what I have experienced.
