I'm thinking about buying a V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee, because I'm getting a really good deal, but all I'm hearing is how they're gas guzzlers. How many miles per gallon does the 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited get? Like I said, it's got a big V8 engine in it.

If anyone owns one of these trucks and knows what type of mileage it gets (city or highway... or BOTH) it would really be very helpful. I really want a Jeep because I heard they are very reliable.

Thanks in advance!

I only have a limited budget (max £2500) so for this price I am only really looking at Ford Fiesta in terms of reliability compared ot the amount I am going to spend.

I hate Vauxhalls, Jap cars are too expensive and European cars are awful. This is why I am only looking at Fiesta's.

The problem is, whenever I find a Fiesta which has a low mileage and is a "good" model, it is usually sold practically straight away.

It is so frustrating. What can I do to beat the vultures? I have been looking for months!

Thanks for yoru help.

Cadillac CTS
Lincoln MKZ
Ford Fusion
Ford Edge
Mazda 3

Also, which one has cheap full coverage insurance.
I really want the CTS but it is not practical considering I live in Michigan and it's rear wheel drive.

My car has been overheating for months. I have used the proper mixture of antifreeze and water. I have had to tighten the clamps on the upper hose because it swells so big some times, one time it completely came off. The other day the car wouldn't start. I took it to a mechanic and got it back yesterday. He said there was something wrong with some wiring, and the reason it had been overheating was because of a bad radiator cap, and he replaced it. I drove the car this morning and it was overheating so badly it took me two hours to get it back to the house. And it looked like smoke was coming from the engine, around the spark plugs. But I don't know if the smoke was from water being sprayed on the engine or if it was actual smoke coming from inside the engine. The engine ran fine until the car started to overheat, then it sounded really rough and no matter how far I pushed down the gas, it wouldn't hardly move. Also, the front window got foggy, and I tried the air, it was hot. HELP!

I got a penalty fine because my car was parked on a single yellow line. However it was outside a mechanical shop and my car had broken down. I explained this to the traffic warden and he said you had no sign saying it was broken down. now i have to pay a sum of £100 before 28 days.

I have 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 3.1L. My coolant light blinks on and off but my fluid levels are fine according to the resevoir. I took it to an Uncle Ed's and they said the level was fine also. It blinks at a slow pace, comes on for a second and is off for a couple of seconds. I was wondering if either a fuse was bad or the sensor was bad.

I could not start my Saturn this morning; it would not ever turn over. When I tried another key, it started fine. I have a combination key/fob. Could it be a key problem, or is that just a coincidence?

Mechanic.Honest, Reasonable in Watauga, Ashe area of NC but will travel. Our car was acting up so we took it by the auto parts store they put a tester on the car and said it was the emissions sensor. We had also got a letter in the mail about the emissons and to bring the auto in for the free warranty work. We took it to High Country
Honda in Boone. The work was done as warranty work because of pollution issue. Well, weeks later the amber lights came back on so back to auto parts we go and they said the sensor was not replaced.
When our car was being serviced the service rep said its time to replace the timing belts @620.00
I also told them about the radiator running hot both fans dont work. Also we need new brakes and
rotors. We will be borrowing thousands.We are disabled and have to borrow the money to get the repairs done so we want to make sure that we do not spend the money and still have a broken car. Thanks to all who can give us some direction in this matter.

Silly girly question probably, so please be patient lads!

Part of my car's exhaust had to be replaced recently and the mechanic said that the cat would also need to be replaced in the next 4-6 months. How will I know when the work needs to be done? Is it going to suddenly go bang or shoot out clouds of smoke from the exhaust pipe?

Also, my MOT is due in September - should I get the cat replaced before then?
