Car Makes - December 2006

In doing reserach online, I have gotten a lot of mixed reviews. People talk about the increased safety and performance on the '99 Saab 9-3, others talk about the 9-3's propensity to eat motors (at a cost of $4,000 plus per time).
The 900 sounds to be more mechanically reliable, but gets worse gas mileage and may not be quite as safe. But I don't know for sure.
I am decent on keeping up with scheduled maintenance, but am looking for a car to take to 200,000 miles plus. Any advice?
Thanks!

we have both been driving that car for 2 years, neither one of us could remember if it was a corola or a camry

Is that strange? Should we worry about it?

Its really true. Embarasing but true.

Why do young kids feel the need to over modify a Honda Civic? They do realize they are disposable cars, right? I mean they originally cost about $12,000, so when these kids buy them used with 150,000 miles on them for $2000 and then sink about $5000 into them between rims, paint, mufflers and body & suspension kits. Do they know how ridiculous they look driving in them? They look like a little kid driving a go cart in the street all done up so that people will look at how stupid they are. Why not buy a real car that is 90% of the way to being fully moded, like a Mustag or Camaro, with a REAL engine in it and original sold as a sports car and not as a secretaries car. Add a nice exhaust on a Mustang and you have one of the nicest sounding cars on the road with true acceleration. Not some little lawnmower that sounds like it is farting and going no where too fast.

Hi. I'm just curious if anyone else has this problem. When I have the back window down and accelerate there is a HORRIBLE smell that comes inside the vehicle. It's so bad that I don't even open it anymore while driving. I took it into the dealership once and they told me it was something to do w/ a cada-someting convert-something. (I know NOTHING about this kind of stuff.) I guess I was just curious if other owners have this problem.


And if the dealership is right and it's nothing to worry about... WHY do they even have a window if you can't use it?! (The smell is THAT bad!)

I just got this truck three weeks ago and I was wondering if you could tell me the meaning the the warning light that came on yesterday. I have a 2000 Dodge Dakota and the orange light that came on looks kind of like a box of some sort. Almost reminded me of a video camera looking symbol. I don't have the manuel and I will take it in to get it looked at but I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what it means. Thanks!

Most police departments are slowly moving away from the Ford Crown Vic. They are replacing them with Dodge Chargers. At my department we have been getting some 2WD Chevy Tahoes. So which is better and why.

I am looking at a 2001 Volvo wagon w/ 90K thousand miles. They are asking 11,000 for the car. Should I buy it, even though it has high miles? How long do Volvo's usually last?

If it was a Toyota with 90K miles, I wouldn't worry because my Toyota's have always lasted me into the 200K's. Are Volvo's equally reliable?

Thanks!

The reason I ask is, I read an article in Truck Trend that said GM was offering an upgraded version of its Allison 1000 series transmission. The article also stated that GM was not going to offer a manual. Does anybody know. Personally I think this would be corporate suicide. Anyone know of a website I can go to for more info.
