Car Makes - March 2007

I am in process of buying Hyundai Sonata '07, either GLS or SE. I need some input on some queries from this think tank to make my decision:

1) What is the actual miles per gallon I should expect if used for daily travel? We know on paper it says GLS(23/33) & SE(20/30) & I would appreciate if your can let me know your observations.

2) I heard SE have "Solar Control Glass" where as GLS don't have. How effective are "Solar Control Glass" in hot places like Texas?

3) If am planning to keep this cars for some time like 6-8 yrs then which one is expected to be easy on maintainence cost/time? (v6 or I4)?

I had a Buick LeSabre that had over 250,000 miles on it so I dont necessarily believe the miles determine the life of the car as much but I also haven't had many cars so I don't know.

The Engine idles low and shakes slightly. It also shakes and has power loss on acceleration. I can also feel a slight sputter while driving the car. I have tried 3 tanks of gas with injector cleaner so far. What else should I look at?

I bought a 01 Jetta GLS 2.0 4cyl 5spd not turbo I really like the car but I already replaced the starter and now (not even two weeks into this) in the mornings it runs REALLY rough, it's not that cold where I live (N.Carolina) maybe 50-55degrees in the mornings but it starts fine then I get on the road and it bumps, and sputters and changing gears and pushing the gas doesn't help it's like it just can't go today I had to pull over and let it rest then I went on and it was fine like nothing ever happened, what is wrong? did I buy a lemon? It's done similar things before but not to the point that I had to pull over. Please tell me what to check I have a VERY limited knowledge of cars so be specific, and don't just say take to a mechanic after the $300 starter that's all I need. Also the check engine light is on and the mechanic said it's the O2 sensor he said that may make the car sputter, but I thought the O2 sensor was just for emissions checking so who really cares if it works?

my 3th cylinder ignition coil went out. How much should i expect to pay? i called a jaguar mechanic and he told me that job is a big job and he gave me a ball park rate of $800 give or take a couple bucks. It seems pretty high for me since ignition coils cost about $80 so if he is trying to charge me $720 labor thats too much. does any one have any idea on whats the process of changing an ignition coil on a jaguar stype.

I am getting ready to get a camaro and I have heard that if it is a convertable or T-tops that there is so much torque that it can hurt the car. Is this true? If I get a camaro with T-tops, will it be ok to drag race?

Hi there,

I have a Renault Clio Alize 1.4 16v and I think I am having trouble with my clutch.

When I am in first gear my car seems to rev alot more than normal and doesent seem to pull away. It struggles.

Could someone please tell me if it is the clutch or what else it could be. Also is there a test I can do?

ive found a code in the car which is for the radio but having no manual for the car means i dont know how to put it in.
the screen flashes 'code' at the moment. when i press the buttons it changes the numbers and ive done this till it shows the code i have.
what do i do now?
ive pressed other buttons on the unit and the screen then changes to 'wait 30.....wait 29.... wait 28' and so on for 30 mins but then goes back to 'code'.

am i doing something wrong?

thanks in advance.

I have checked the switch with a multimeter and have checked the fuse and wire connections. I have replaced the bulb. The guy at Auto Zone pointed out that the posts on my bulb were melted and had made contact. Any one know how I can fix the brake light and dash lights not working with the head lights on?
