Cars & Transportation - 12 October 2007

Considering that the maximum national speed limit in the UK is 70mph why do people buy cars that can travel at 130, 140,150mph+?

Is it a case of my car is better than yours or what?

I drive a vauxhaull corsa. OK its not bit, its not powerful but it does the job for me. It gets me from A to B and will quite happily sit at 70mph all day.

Even when I hit the a/c switch to off, turn the dial away from defroster, and turn the blowers to 0 (off) the compressor continues to run indefinitely as long as the car is on. To turn it off, I have to stop and turn off the car. It's not only fuel inefficient, but sometimes I have to turn the heat up to keep it from getting too cool, if I've wanted only to turn the a/c on to cool down the car. The dealership tells me that for two years (04-06) Nissan did this with their Sentras and it's normal. Is it?

The fuse for my power windows blows out every two days or so. I'm replacing it with the correct amount of amps, it says right on the chart under the cover of the fuse box. This is the only fuse that I've had trouble with, a couple other fuses blow out a while back, but they were replaced and they are still fine, just this stupid power window fuse. GRRRR! What else could be causing the fuse to keep blowing?

i have the money for either one. But i love the class and luxury of a mercedes benz. but my friend wants me to geet the lancer evo.. i did a lot of research and it seems that the lancer evo got nothing except a very expensive engine and turbo, none of the comfort that any luxury car provided. plus if i were to drive fast. would it be that big a difference in speed to floor a mercedes and a lancer evo? it just doesn't seem to matter that much if you are not a street-racer..which i hate...to get a lancer evo. Any opinion??

I need a used car no more expensive than $6000 that has pretty good gas milage. I really like the body style of a Subaru Forester, but that is a bit too expensive for my budget. Any suggestions?

Brand new and yells quite loudly when you first move it, typically when in reverse (but then again that's usually the first direction it goes in the am). Took it back to the dealer who replaced the pads (I swear it made it worse). Anyone else with the issue or even better, a solution?

How come, there are so many people driving around with cell phones in their ear, but in this section, people never seem to call the police or their ins co in the event of an accident?
Don't cell phones work if you want to call the police or your ins co?
