I'm a first time SUV buyer and looking into the 2008 Mazda Tribute or Ford Escape (yes, I realize these are basically the same vehicle), but I'm finding a lot of mixed responses on reliability. Are these good vehicles? Reliable? Is there anything in the same price range that would be a better choice?
I need something that's going to last me 5-10 years. How realistic is this? What about Hyundai or Kia's SUV's? Are these better than Ford or Mazda. I would GREATLY appreciate any information on this!

My maintenance schedule calls for a "multipoint inspection" every 5,000 miles. I cannot find any definition of what exactly is to be inspected. What exactly is supposed to be inspected?

I had a stereo put in at Best Buy in my '92 Integra. I'm thinking now about buying new rear speakers. When I look at the old one's, there is a capacitor soldered onto the terminals. Is that OE or did Best Buy put them there? (I think I remember him saying something about speaker protectors...is that what they are?) And do I need to put them on any new speakers that I might buy??

They are sounding a little claggy, and I am not sure if that is good or not.

A driver changing lanes clipped me on a city street. I stopped, but the other driver kept going and I didn't get a license number, make and model, or description of the driver. I pulled into a parking garage immediately at the scene and had only a small ding and a light paint smear on my front passenger side. Since I couldn't describe the driver or the car and there was no real damage, I did not call the police. I left the car parked in the garage and walked to the theater were I had been heading. When I returned, there was a card from a police officer in my window asking me to call about a hit and run. I called and left the officer a message but a day has gone by and he hasn't called back. I am terrified that the other driver filed a report and claimed that I committed the hit and run. Maybe he claimed he was just driving to a safe spot to stop. The collision occurred in Kentucky. Was I required by law to call the police? Is what I did considered a hit and run?

I have an accord 1996, and I need to change my tires. The size on my tires is p185/60R15, but the stock tires on accord 1996 should be p185/70R15. How do I find out if p185/70R15 will fit on my rims? I am not sure if my car has the original factory rims.

My Texas car title says ie ( Jane Doe or John Doe ) as the owners; so does that mean only one signature or both are needed to sell the car?

I bought a new car a few weeks ago and someone rear ended me last week. I am now going to be without my new car for at least 21/2 weeks. I have been provided with a rental car, but, the rental car that they gave me is a "intermediate" model. It's a chevy cobalt - which I have nothing against but it has no power options it is a 2005 and has over 40,000 miles on it. It has a faint odor and stains all over the interior. I'm not sure if I should just put up with it for a few weeks and be glad that I have it to get to/from work. I really am upset at being inconvienienced like this. The rental car is actually embarassing. It has dents all over the outside too. I have talked to the insurance co. They told me to ask for a different car and the rental co. told me that they can give me the same car I have but a year older. That one is probably in worse condition. Shouldn't the insurance co of the guy who hit me try & make this as inconvienient as possible for me?

Without causing a big scene? (I don't want to say something like this car isn't moving unless everybody has their seat belts on.) In general, male passengers tend to refuse to put seat belts on.

my dad works in a med office, he pretty much is the main doc boss the only people higher than him is the guy that owns the building. everybody in that office drives nice cars even the damn receptionist girls. in their driveway you see every car is either a BMW, or mercedes benz, and one lexus and one honda accord (my dads). i went to visit dad at work yesterday and i see a lady from the building going outside saying someone parked their honda in a private parking spot and wanted to get it towed. she didn't know my dad drove it everyone there thinks my dad drives a benz S class or something. when they found out it was my dad's they were shocked. why doesn't my dad want to buy a more expensive car? it kind of makes him look worse with a honda if he is the boss that people lower than him drive a better car. should he buy a benz or something to look better in front of his workers or what?

My year old Panda was very recently written off in an accident.
I have been offered the above price by my car insurance people. The offer was taken I have been led to believe from the Glasses Guide, but this is this a trade guide, unfortunately I can not buy at trade price, I must buy a replacement vechile at the normal retail price. How unfair is that? Can I refuse this offer? What stance should I be taking? What might be the result if I refuse this offer?

one day it was pouring, and my shoes were filled with water as i was walking to my car, so i took them off and drove without them. i really loved the freedom of no shoes (not really a fan of anything on my feet).

so what do you think? is it ok, or do i have to wear shoes?

Everytime I turn the steering wheel to the right, a loud rattling noise comes from the offside (driver's side) front wheel. This only occurs when the wheels are pointing to the right, and not when the steering wheel is turned right to bring the car back to a straight line after steering to the left.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.
