Car Makes - August 2007

I am thinking of getting a used Subaru. All of the ones in my price range have 60-80 thousand miles on them. Are Subarus good cars? Do they last and last? I only drive 6 miles per day but, I still want something reliable..what do you think?
I am considering something like a 2000 Legacy

-Thank You :-)

I was wondering, could you buy an old 2+2 convertible, say a ford Thunderbird or a Falcon, and somehow add a detachable hardtop? I know first generation thunderbirds come with a detachable hardtop, but they only seat 2.

Yeah, everytime i drive in reverse, i hear this grinding noise. At first i thought my exhaust was scrapping but i found out its not. It is really ******* annoying.

Thanks

The key will turn part way in the lock, however, the inside lock is stuck in the middle position, and I can not move it up or down. How do I get the door open? I have crawled in from the passenger side, and tried to push the lock while pulling the door handle, to no avail. Good advise only please.....

Ignition problems on '99 Cavalier.?
I'm having ignition problems on my '99 Cavalier. When I want to turn my engine over, it does a long crank and then it'll start up. I checked my battery and alternator and they both checked out fine on my voltmeter. My plugs and wires were replaced not long ago, and it couldn't come from there. Is it my ignition coil that's gone bad?

Over the last year, my 1965 Mustang (automatic) has started fine, except about 4 times when it acts like it's not in park. I play with the gear shift, but I don't thing that does anything. After 6 or 7 tries, it suddenly starts. But it'll be fine for months, this happens once, and then it's fine for months before it happens again. Any idea what the problem is?
Thanks

Hello, 18, just looking for a new car. Found a 2000 BMW 318i from a dealer for 6500, sorry, pound key doesn't work!
Anyway, the insurance will be taken care of, the cost of the car will be taken care of but I'm just wondering if it's such a good idea, I'm more worried about the fact that as it's not a hatchback and it's rwd does anyone think that'll cause a lot of problems? I've only ever driven hatchbacks and fwd, I love this car to pieces, it's just quite sexy but there's also a 307 I found for the same price, slightly newer, less miles etc. I'd be happy to have that but the BMW is just calling to me..pretty stuck here, someone please help!

'02 Ram with 78k miles. Engine at idle surges to about 1100 rpm without any driver input. Happens in "park" "drive" and "reverse" with and without the AC running. It is more noticeable with the AC running but happens either way. The problem is if your foot is not on the brake securely, it will lurch forward. Not good. Any Ideas???

When I shut down the car, the gps plugged into the cigarette lighter does not power off, even with the truck totally off. I assume this will drain the battery. Is there anyway to make the power source shut off when I shut the truck down? I really don't want to have to unplug the gps every time I shut the engine off.

Thanks

Someone told me that the catalytic converter can run hot and damage my motor and tranny. Can I just remove it and run a straight pipe?

I have a 92 325ic (E30, M20 engine). Although my skills are lacking, even for me the car is too slow. It was suggested to me to replace the air filter, get a performance exhaust, performance chip and add a limited slip. I was thinking also of a different steering wheel. It's an automatic. I autocross maybe 5x per year.

Thanks

I am about to buy me a BMW. I currently drive a 1990 525i, but I am in the market for a newer (2005ish) M3 or 3 series.

Factoring cost as an option (because I know the M3 is way more expensive), should I go full out and save for the M3 or just stick with the 3 series? is there really a huge justifiable difference between the two?

Better yet, should I forget both and buy a 5 series? or what?

Essentially, what's the best model BMW to buy in an affordable price range?
