Cars & Transportation - 17 May 2007

Everytime I buy a new vehicle it's a minivan. I'm tired of them and I am going to buy a new SUV. I need at least 6 passenger seating, and I want the 3rd row to actually be comfortable. Not tiny. Pros and cons of different ones? How they drive and things like that. I have looked at so many, but I would like opinions from people who actually own them, not the sales people who want to sell me one. And while we're at it, why do they assume I am going to buy right now today!!? Anywho, just looking for why you like or dislike yours. Thanks!

Its the only way people will ever slow down on their gas use. However, I think prices will have to go up to 8 or 9 dollars before that happens.

Sometimes the car doesn't want to start, sometimes I'll lose power completely & have to coast the car to the side of the road, most of the time the power will just go out & then come right back on.

I just bought a new Saturn Vue last night and I'm a little dissappointed in the sound quality. I have the upgraded radio with a 6 disc changer, XM radio, and MP3 audio jack. Everything works great and it's really convenient. However, the speakers don't have the clarity I was hoping for. The highs and lows aren't as crisp as I thought they would be. Would putting in after-market speakers help with the overall sound quality? I don't want to change anything with the head unit. I like the way it looks and functions. Any suggestions?

Just did a side by side comparison of the Focus and Corolla and the results were suprising to me. The Focus got 4.5 stars for overall long-term dependability. The Corolla got 4 stars. Both good ratings, but how does this support the notion that Toyota has superior reliability over Ford? Perhaps the difference in quality is not as much as we think?

having trouble with my 99 tahoe not starting and have changed the fuel pump and still had trouble then found that the new replaced fuel relay has gone bad. What would cause this to happen, as soon as we changed it the car had fuel pressure again and started right up. The is something from point A to point B that is causing this to happen. Any suggestions? The friend working on this has never seen one burn up.

I keep seeing questions on this site about stopping for schoolbuses (mainly posed by Americans, I believe). Are there actually laws about stopping for them in the USA, or is it just about making sure you don't hit kids?

Thanks in advance for helping this Englishman with his query.

I have 44,000 miles and have had absolutely no problems. Lately, every once in a while, while sitting idling, the tachometer will slight surge up and then down, sort of like a missed heartbeat feels. Any ideas?

1991 Buick Regal V6. When de-celerating as in coasting, the engine doesn't decelerate at first, then it does, then it accelerates, back and forth until I have to firmly brake. It happens mostly at speeds over 25MPH...also and this might be a separate problem, I have to put it in Neutral at traffic lights to prevent stall..anyone have anything??
