I'm old fashioned 23yo. I hate these little vroom cars. I like big ole 350s, 305 Chevy's... I love the rawr.Hahaha, we'll see if you are still rollin' them eyes when gas is $5 a gallon or more.
You may get "ran" more when you're sitting on the side of the road going
No offense--I understand your right to a big vehicle, and I honestly don't care what you drive. I just wouldn't be happy myself when I pulled up to the pump in a 16mpg vehicle in this town. Everything is 16 miles away, at least.
But tbh, I am getting rid of it soon. Going for a Yaris hatchback. By 2020 believe me or not, there will be laws limiting those old gas guzzlers.
Gunna get it Razorback red, (cardinal), and probably not those fancy wheels and brakes though.
I like the 350's also, I have a Vortec in my 2dr Tahoe and in my 72 K5 Blazer, I just don't drive the Tahoe much these days and the Blazer needs work. This car is for the wife and for family outings because it gets decent mileage and it's safety features. In a year or so when I go looking for a car, I'll definitely be something 2dr and sporty....hopefully anyways.
Hyundai's are a lot better than what Brutalis would have you believe. Just take a look at Consumer Reports and you will see that. I was debating getting a Santa Fe vs a FJ Cruiser.
Consumer reports?
Are you serious?
Do you believe everything the news reports as well?
I guess we're supposed to believe a small shop in Arkansas over Consumer Reports, huh?
No but nice sarcasm.
There's no point arguing what is the worst quality of car over the last 10-20 years. Any certified ASE mechanic will tell you. Call around find out for yourself.
Consumer reports or ASE mechanics? The ladder. CR mainly focus on how cool the bucket seats are, or how it goes this fast, or how neat the specs are. Not how they break down. Just saying.
I paid $82 for a fill-up today
Mine is around $40.00, Honda Accord!I paid $82 for a fill-up today
So what are you driving?
2005 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer. Who the is Eddie Bauer?!Mine is around $40.00, Honda Accord!
So what are you driving?
He is a designer guy, like Tommy H and Calvin K, couldn't spell either of those last names if I tried.
Ford has been known to use marketing gimicks like that to give rich people the idea they're actually buying a fashionable car or some crap. No offense btw they are nice trucks.
the last 10-20 years....sure i'll buy that...but not the last 2-3...they've really turned things around and i'm basing this off several reviews both professionally and personally. so....yeah...i'll buy what ALL of these people are saying over a 2-bit mom-n-pop white trash mechanic shop. just sayin'.....
I rented a sonata not too long ago, it was a nice ride to Vegas and back, peppy little car.
nice ride blizz!
my ride 'trigger' aka a 93 lumina, is at about 215K...and my mechanic doesn't want to work on her no more cuz he says she's falling apart, but i told him that we are part of team 300 and i'll be damned if i'm gonna let him quit on us now...i gotta make it to 2010 with that car...
What's the other half?
Congrats!
I just recently purchased a new car too.
Sharp
Congrats on the new purchase.
My mom just got an '06 VW Passat and I'm still driving my 1998 Mazda626!! It still works great though but it's no Passat (which is fully loaded I think). I'm just jealous. haha
It takes me about $30 to fill up my 2004 VW Jetta GLS with about 56,000 miles on it. I've put about 1,500 on it since I bought it in October and I still love it.
New cars are awesome, even if they are used.
Geeez that looks sweet SB! What the heck is that!?
Thanks!
It is an '08 Honda Accord.
Dayum, Goood 4 U, I got a 2007 Honda Accord
Nice ride for a million miles
Read this before and got some stats for ya. I asked one of their runners to tally up some rough numbers on 2007. He said these were about 80% accurate cause he couldn't come up with some records. The shop is very, well, poorly ran.
14% Kia
10% Hyundai
10% Ford
9% Dodge
9% GM
6% Nissan
5% Honda
4% Toyota
The other 33% are Lexus, BMW, Mitsu, Mazda, Suzuki, Acura, MBenz, Subaru, VW, Volvo, Infiniti, Isuzu, Saab, Saturn, etc which is also subjective cause a couple of them is owned by above.
GMC, Chevy, Caddy, are listed with GM he said. Dunno about Oldsmobile.
I assume Pontiac and Chrysler he forgot or rather included them with Dodge and didn't say anything. I think that's the case but not sure. Oh and Plymouth.
Same deal with Buick and Lincoln for Ford.
I'm probably leaving something out, I don't have the sheet with me. But it got me really curious to know cause of my speculations. I wrote this from memory too but I am pretty positive on the percentages. And it's all subjective cause some other dude did it and didn't sound 100% at all.
But he did say they see more Kia and Hyundai than anything without me saying anything at all. It's because here in Arkansas those cars dominate the roads maybe too.
Congrats to Silver21 and to Blizz. Both cars look nice.
I got a 07 Santa Fe awhile back and I absolutely love it. Nice interior and just an overall good look to it. Hyundai's started making themselves some decent rides.
