2000 Honda Civic 4 door: A very "Civic" car

Wed, 21 Mar 2001 22:31:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - I drove a 2000 Honda Civic DX as a rental car when my car was in for maintenance. When the Civic pulled up, I wasn't necessarily thrilled to be driving it. I knew the car was reliable, and I've only heard good things about them, however I am one who...

The ideal stealth-car

Wed, 7 Mar 2001 21:07:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - The Audi S4 is a truly impressive machine. It looks much like an average family sedan, and is priced similarly to far inferior automobiles. However, it's capable of keeping up with some of the faster cars on the road.

Here's my usual...

The A4 gets an A overall

Tue, 20 Feb 2001 02:05:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - The Audi A4 is not the most impressive car to look at, and it generally does a great job of blending in with traffic, and ususally doesn't attract attention to itself, that's somewhat unfortunate considering the fact that this is a well-priced automobile...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - I've driven both the newly designed and the late model (pre-200) Grand Cherokees, and I'll be very enthusiastic in saying the new Cherokee is a vast improvement over the old one.

The DRIVE:

As far as SUVs go, this Jeep drives nicely...

Gotta love M power!

Tue, 13 Feb 2001 03:38:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - The BMW M3 is truly a driver's car. Everything about, from the seat to the climate controls, tells you it is somehow tailored to being a "driver's car."

Here's my usual breakup for a car review.

The Drive:

This car simply...

More proof that Chrysler's shedding its old image

Mon, 10 Apr 2000 18:26:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - (please note, this review includes a bit of history about Chrysler products. Should you not be interested in that part of my review, scroll down to the subheading: "The short of my review is as follows.")

As little as 6 years ago, if you were to...

Something spacious in the air

Mon, 10 Apr 2000 03:14:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - I have done a good amount of traveling, and I must say American Airlines ranks near the top of my list for overall travel satisfaction. In fact, I will say there is no better way to fly for the money.

The short of my review is as follows:

Epson PhotoColor 640

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - If you're looking for an excellent printer at a good price, the Epson StylusColor 640 is for you.

The short of my review is this: This Epson printer offers real photo-quality prints if you use Epson paper, and prints quite well on standard...

The Friendly Skies

Thu, 3 Feb 2000 02:03:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - I traveled round trip from SJC to ORD, then from ORD to Lafayette, Indiana.

I will now rate the airline for each leg of my journey:

SJC to ORD:

From San Jose to Chicago, I flew in an old 727. It smelled stale, had nasty looking...

Fri, 28 Jan 2000 02:07:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - The movie American Pie has a very specific audience: high school students and early college students. The type of humor presented in this move really hits home with people in this age group. Almost everyone who is graduating from highschool has, in one...

Netscape Webmail: Netscape SnailMail

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 23:18:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - I signed up with Netscape's Webmail about 2 years ago now and am basically very satisfied with it except for its speed.

I'll start with the positive aspects of the service: It is very feature-rich, easy to use, and nicely laid out. In fact, it...

Loud Little Turtle

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 22:11:21 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - A few weeks ago, I rented a Mercury Tracer from Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

When they pulled up the car, I thought to myself, This car looks pretty nice. I'm glad the rental agency gave me a nice car.

Then, I drove it.

Here is my...

AmericaOffLine

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 02:38:47 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - I signed up with AOL about 5 years ago now. The WorldWideWeb did not even exist, and unlimited access was not even considered yet.

Back then, AOL was a significantly smaller company, and actually cared about its clients.

AmeriCheap

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 01:17:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - Overall, Ameritrade is a good value for online investing. It has one of the lowest commissions in the industry, and offers high quality customer service.

What follows is a break-down of each individual aspect of Ameritrade.

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 04:37:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - I've been with Pacific Bell wireless for 2 years now, and I have to say I am very satisfied with the service until recently.

Features such as VoiceMail, CallerID, Call Waiting, Conference Call, Call forwarding, etc. call come standard, and can...

5190-Good to go

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 04:14:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - About 2 years ago, I signed up with Pacific Bell Wireless and started my plan with the Nokia 2190 Telephone. It served me well for a year, however it had a short battery span, was pretty big and heavy, and basically became outdated.

One fast box!

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 01:33:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - The Volvo S70 may look somewhat like your father's Volvo, but once you're behind the wheel, the image quickly fades.

The short: This is a car that does not have the most radical styling, but looks ok, and drives very well.

Good Car/Great Value

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 23:30:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author AlpineSki - I bought this car about a year and a half ago, and so far I must say I am very satisfied with the Stratus.

The short of my review: A great looking, mostly reliable car that drives very well for a family sedan.

The long of my review is as...
