Stick with Japanese or Korean, for reliability and long warranties ( kia 7 year)
I agree wit you there Primus. The Jap cars are still the most reliable (confirmed by our local repair shop).

Re: Expensive noises !

I read somewhere that the v-tec engine is one of the most reliable engines ever produced.

Out of the millions made they have never had to recall a single one for catastrophic failure.

Believe it or not, I was driving mine around for a month without a drop of engine oil (Even the local garage can't decide where it went - no leaks - no burning). Filled it up with new oil and haven't had any problems whatsoever.

Hi

My old Subaru Legacy is still going well, with over 300, 000 on the clock.

The fuel costs were horrendous though.

Re: Expensive noises !

Hi

My left leg is smashed, no alternative but to have an auto.

It is OK 95% of the time, but when it locks up I cannot risk an accident and injuring an innocent.

I believe she said she couldn't find one she liked so went home to knit one.
