Fri, 22 Mar 2002 18:58:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - When looking at the Subaru WRX, you are probably not looking at anythnig else in this price range. The Impreza WRX is the only car in the United States that combines a turbo and all wheel drive for under $30,000. Want turbo and all wheel drive in...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - After renting a new 2002 Ford Explorer XLT 4 door four wheel drive for a long weekend road trip to detroit, all I can say is "wow!". This vehicle is very different from the models before it.

I owned a 1991 Ford Explorer XLT 4 door four wheel...

Many strengths and weaknesses

Sat, 15 Dec 2001 23:54:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - As sport compact car magazine once said "The RX7's best feature, the compact, light weight twin turbocharged rotary engine, is also it's worst feature." I can agree with them entirely.

Having once owned a 1995 Mazda RX7 twin turbo touring...

A classic volvo, with POWER!

Fri, 30 Nov 2001 23:40:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - The 1990 Volvo 740 Turbo is a volvo in the truest sense; stodgy, comfy, safe, tank-like solidity, and of course, looknig like the box it came in. But the optional turbo power transforms a slow, boxy luxury car into a quick, good handling touring luxury...

You can't go wrong with an accord!

Tue, 20 Nov 2001 19:25:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - The accord is a car for the masses. It dosen't offend, it's reliable, and it feels trusty. Accords have always been that way. But the coupe has a slightly different personality. Now, don't get me wrong, it's still not a fun car, but it has a slightly...

2001 Ford Explorer 4WD: Time tested sport-ute

Tue, 6 Nov 2001 19:50:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - That 2001 Ford Explorer you may be considering is not as new as you think. Sure, it smells new, it's shiny, and it looks modern, but the mechanicals underneath are anything but new.

The explorer started out life in 1990. It was at the time,...

Sat, 27 Oct 2001 19:05:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - When will mercedes-benz get with it and have their excpetional automobiles come with equally good tires? The two Mercedes models I bought new in 1998 and 1999 each came with crappy OEM tires. My wife's E-class came with michelin energy MXV4's, and my...

The safety of this car amazes me

Wed, 24 Oct 2001 23:26:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - The early 90's were a terrible time (vehicle wise) for my wife and I. Auto enthusiasts all our life, we were sold into large american sedans and SUV's at the time because of the room and safety.

But that was good in some affect. Cars like my...

Why Would you NOT Get The Turbo?

Mon, 22 Oct 2001 23:49:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - After Driving a 1998 GSX Turbo, it was clear that I was converted. I always thought the 2nd genration DSM (mitsubishi Eclipse/Eagle Talon) non-turbo was always a nice little car. It had good handling, a nice body, and a hatchback body going for it. But...

Fear the Rancher!!

Sun, 21 Oct 2001 23:29:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - It's not often that I get to sample big, bad utility quads. Heck, I don't even get to sample my banshee and 300ex that often. But when I do, I always find myself in adventerous situations.

This weekend I found myself on a friend's 2000 Honda...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - While it still may not be the most fun you can have in a family sedan (the new altima taks that one), then new Camry will remain the best selling car in america for a number of reasons.

The camry is reliable as the sun. Americans have places...

Back to basics 4X4 tire

Sat, 20 Oct 2001 16:23:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - The new(er) BFG A/T KO tires are not to be confused with new comparibly wussy SUV/Light Truck tires. Unlike those glorified car tires like the Michelin Cross Terrain, the whole goodyear wrangler family, and Continental Contitrac AT's, these are no...

It's no Honda....but it's still fun

Fri, 19 Oct 2001 19:35:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - I had a chance to ride on my friend's red and white 1999 Mojave the other day and compare it head to head with my 01 300ex. This is a popular comparison for many reasons. Often, people in the market for a sports 4 stroke quad look at 3 quads: the Honda...

Your Parents would Approve

Sat, 25 Aug 2001 14:06:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - This is the luxury car of yesterday: Chrome, flashiness, pillowy ride, leather sofa seats, gigantic trunk, and big V8 power, but with a modern twist. This is most likely your parents' dream car, and when you get old, it will most likely be yours also...

One of the great Nirvana books

Sun, 4 Mar 2001 20:30:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - "Kurt Cobain" by Chris Sanford is a nice all around book. It features nice writing, nice pictures, and nice writing. It obviously took some time for this man from the U.K. to research Kurt's life from the day he was born until that sad day in...

the spirit of the MK1 MR2 in a roadster!

Sat, 27 Jan 2001 19:11:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - The original MR2 was a memorable car for me. I owned a 1987 Toyota MR2, or as I liked to call, mister two. Mister Two handled great, it felt as if it drove on rails, and when you really wanted to, you could easily get the tail swinging out. It was a...

Big ol' boat

Sat, 20 Jan 2001 20:54:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - The 1994 Bucik Roadmaster could be a fine used car choice if you're in the market for a nice, roomy, and powerful fullsize car.

Ours was purchased in 1994 because we needed a good value full size car with lots of room for the kids, and we...

I rented my red Jeep (same color as my...

Jr. WRX!

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 18:59:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - Have you heard of the europe and japanese-only Subaru Impreza WRX models? You know, the ones with turbos, sport suspensions, and out of this world body kits, and the basis of Subaru's multiple world championship rally cars? Well think of the 2.5RS a...

This CD put Nirvana on the map

Thu, 4 Jan 2001 23:36:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - Having an exceptionally good selling disk can do two things for a artist: Make them famous, and have the band love it, or, in Nirvana's case, make them famous when they didn't want to be. Such is the case for Nevermind, Nirvana's 1991 grunge release...

A sport Utility with a twist

Thu, 4 Jan 2001 14:43:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author 300ex - The 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 with the 5.2 litre Engine is a major sleeper. The only thing telling you this is the V8 is the Badge on the hatch and the rumble of the exhaust. Watch out! The power of this thing is great in such a small,...
