hey my 95 avenger is still runnin great. although the 94 dodge truck my husband bought was a real piece of crap 2 transmissions later and it still wasn’t right he wont buy a dodge truck again but i haven’t had a problem with my car
If the car rental companies get wind of this, Chrysler is toast.
From what I've read, Chevy is going to price it along the lines of the other Camaros. They are going to start in the $20K range.
I just drove a Dodge Nitro rental last week. I’d never heard of it (but I don’t pay much attention to new cars). An odd little thing. Not very good gas mileage, and a sloppy, choppy ride. So much so, that I felt like I didn’t have total steering control when I went over a rough patch in the road.
My previous trip I drove a Buick Rainier (never heard of it before, either!). I really liked it. Smooth, comfortable, quiet ride, roomy, with comfortable seats. I was impressed.
Mom, you forgot the Lebaron.
It burned in the driveway before the first year was out.
I grewup with "muscle" cars. The 70's and 80's made me cry. When Hubby bought me a Jetta, I was reasonably satisfied with the speed. Pulling out into traffic USED to panic me.
As an “import” it was built 60 miles from my house.
Yup. The lines between domestic and foreign have blurred so I don't feel guilty. ;)
I’ll NEVER forget that. See post 4. Remember driving down 94 and I “smelled THAT smell” and made everyone get out of the car? LOL It was the dump burning. :)
Okers, didn’t read far enough.
I remember the car evac.
We were all worried it was the darn car.
Just bought a 1984 6 series. Very cool car and dirt cheap.
Dad wasn't amused. lol
Well, it could be worse. The Crown Vic that I drove was manufactured in Canada of all places, while the second Toyota that we bought was manufactured in the good ol' USA.
He was peeved.
But he didn’t come home to see the car still smouldering.
He also didn’t pick up pieces of melted transmission and engine block.
*chuckle*
Ummm....
Last time he checked, it had 412,900 on it...
Oh, and it gets over 600 miles per tank (that’s the 14.5 gal. variety, those Passat wagons have a much larger tank...)
Or so he tells me... ;-)
I think a Passat has an 18.3 gallon tank.
(Don’t quote me.)
Do they have that for Mercedes? Mine is a 1984 300D Turbo (W123).
I also have a Toyota Corolla that's been a lemon since day 1.
I realize it's all anecdotal, but I'd always heard Toyota was the ultimate brand in reliability; based on my experience, I'll never have another one.
As an aside...I bought the "bumper-to-bumper" extended warranty on the Toyota and took it in to the dealer to have several problems fixed.
I was presented a bill for over $500.00. It seems the "bumper-to-bumper" warranty didn't cover anything.
Zero. Zip. Nada.
To quote the lady at the dealership, "these parts weren't defective, they were just broken. You don't expect us to cover that, do you?"
Good thing I didn't have a "broken" transmission.
I won't be doing business with that dealership again, either.
Oh yeah. It was the 91 that got 500 on a tank. Half my brain fired. ;)
LOL... I didn't know that BMW made Cobras.
That commercial is really obnoxious.
