Manual Mazda 3 driver here who drives the wife's max. I love the CVT as well. 10 year warranty makes us more than happy to be guinea pigs for this new technology. I like how it saves brakes and gas...

Hmmm....that's the pure definition of the term "no-doubter". Shame. If anyone saw that happen it would have looked beyond crazy.

Mine too marmstro and others enduring pain with this. We were driving along about a week ago when my wife noticed that same sound on a relatively flat road.

Winter tire question

Does anyone know if a set of P215/55R/17s (or possibly P225/55R/17s) would fit my vehicle for the winter. (2009, Premium).

I'm most concerned about the wheels themselves clearing the brake...

I think that's a great post light. Tire pressure makes a very noticeable difference in my opinion and it's something that we can alter easily for optimum ride quality or increased cornering...

I confess I wanted my wife to pick up a TL. As a long time 4th genner I had little bad to say about that car, but I really fell for the interior of that TL. But the exterior design for us too was an...

I was driving a Charger on a business trip this week in Greenville, SC. I was lucky enough to at least get the 3.5 v6, but I was dismayed by its output. I think any engine that uses 3.5L and cannot...

It really depends on who builds it. I had mine done at 110,000 kilometres. When it was rebuilt, I had a tranny cooler installed and ran Mobil 1 synthetic from the beginning. It's just passed 250,000...

As pmohr is saying, it is not possible to run the a/c compressor with the car off. It is driven by the serpentine belt, which rotates with the engine. Do you mean the fan/blower on the inside of the...

In my case, the region where the axle bolts in to the support (the area with three bolts away from the tranny), was the source of biggest misery. I had to carefully pry all the way round with a...

My wife will be picking one up on Monday. It's a lease so I've had to calculate the discounts from what a full priced car would have cost. Our car is the manager's vehicle, which can sometimes raise...

This is the guide (http://2007.infiniti.g35x.googlepages.com/ITB08-021.pdf) for a 2007 Infiniti G35.

I think those have been shown to be pretty much worthless. They can't move nearly enough air to make a difference. You know how on a hot day, sometimes your climate control with fan speed 1 with air...

I'm not sure it's the expansion valve, because with ice cold refrigerant lines, it would seem to be doing its job. No-one asked this yet - do you get drips of water coming out from under the car,...
