Mini Cooper Clubman - Surpising room, tons-o-fun, very economical!

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 22:00:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GR8AV8R - I recently took delivery of a 2008 Mini Cooper Clubman, the "stretched" version of the Mini. Made by BMW, assembled in England, and tough to get in the US, this car is well worth the effort to obtain. As with the standard (and quite small) Mini, the...

Spend a little more...I wish I had!

Mon, 9 Oct 2006 21:09:30 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author GR8AV8R - Well, I tried to save a few bucks, and I'm really disappointed. It washes fine, it dries fine, but WOW is this thing chintzy! Installation was relatively easy, after a couple of trips to a home improvement store for parts that were not included. It's...

Not all bad...

Thu, 15 Dec 2005 23:54:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GR8AV8R - These tires are the standard factory fitment for new Ford Expeditions...my 2004 came with them, and I was skeptical. On dry roads, traction is excellent and noise is normal. On wet roads, which I live with nearly daily here in Seattle, the traction is...

2004 Ford Expedition 4WD: An Excellent Choice...and the 2005 is even better!

Sun, 20 Jun 2004 10:54:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GR8AV8R - UPDATE! This review is for the 2004 model, but be advised - Ford has given the 2005 a couple of key improvements! The 5.4 liter V-8 option has an improved cylinder head design that develops 300 horsepower and better torque with no fuel mileage penalty...

Superb Used Value!

Tue, 10 Jun 2003 13:28:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GR8AV8R - Update! Sadly, I just sold this vehicle after 5 years of trouble-free ownership. I needed more space, and so moved up to a full size SUV. I cannot recommend this car enough, and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you can live with it's con, the...

2004 Chrysler Pacifica AWD 4 Dr Sport Utility: Worth a look if you don't like SUV's

Thu, 8 May 2003 11:19:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GR8AV8R - The 2004 Chrysler Pacifica is a new take on the "Crossover" vehicle segment. It's got the room of a wagon, it's based on a minivan, is available with All Wheel Drive like an SUV, and handles like a smaller car. I've no idea how to classify it, but it...

THE tire for your SUV

Wed, 26 Feb 2003 14:38:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GR8AV8R - UPDATE! I've sold the much-loved Lexus, and sadly, the tires went with it. Even though the Lexus was an absolute joy to own, (review at h

Like a big sedan with a huge trunk!

Wed, 14 Aug 2002 13:12:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GR8AV8R - Update Number 2... 70,000 miles, and this thing has NO idea where the shop is! Virtually trouble free, still quiet and nice to drive. The sorry original tires wore out, and I replaced them with a nice set of Michelins, and it's even quieter now. Gas...

Christmas at Whistler

Fri, 10 Nov 2000 22:11:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GR8AV8R - I never thought I'd enjoy a Christmas away from home, but Whistler has changed my mind. I can't wait for December so we can pack the kids in the car and head north once again. This place is so dang festive, you'll want to stay! We arranged to...

Best Value out there...trust me!

Sat, 21 Oct 2000 22:06:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GR8AV8R - NEW UPDATE! It's been well over ten years with us, and I still love this boat! I looked into selling/trading for a smaller, easier-to-trailer rig, and got a bit shell-shocked at the cost of new boats. Nicely equipped 20-foot fishing boats now sell for...

Best wet traction out there, great value!

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 11:01:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GR8AV8R - Update #2! I sold that truck, got another one, and put on a set of new Michelins. Another amazing performance, I have 55,000 miles on this set and have at least 8/16" of tread remaining. They still look great and continue to provide a...

Baby's lucky I don't eat it first

Sat, 8 Jul 2000 14:57:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GR8AV8R - This stuff is good. And the baby likes it, too. I was a bit leery due to the extra cost, but after opening a few jars of this and watching it disappear, I'm hooked. The varieties are fascinating, and I have yet to find one my daughter doesn't love. I...

Sleep well, my friends

Sat, 8 Jul 2000 14:48:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GR8AV8R - Cascade's Therm-a-rest sleeping pads may be the greatest thing since sliced bread. One word of advice from one who's been there...go for the full length pad. Unless you are a hard-core alpine trekker who really needs to cut weight, the full-length pad...

One hot tamale...

Sat, 8 Jul 2000 14:41:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GR8AV8R - This is the ideal sleeping bag for the occasional hiker. I can't say how it stands up to repeated uses, frequent soakings, and general overuse. I use mine a few times a year, usually on a pad, and I like to keep it dry. It's performed very well. The...

Eddie Bauer 5-Point Car Seat 02-876: Baby loves to drive...

Sat, 8 Jul 2000 11:10:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GR8AV8R - Wow, what a difference a car seat can make. Give a kid a safe, roomy seat that's comfortable enough for long trips, and she's a happy baby! We've had no complaints at all with our seat, which I admittedly bought because it looked good. Yeah, I fell...

No Complaints after 80K

Sat, 8 Jul 2000 10:58:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GR8AV8R - Update! 80,000 miles have rolled up on the odometer, and I'm as happy as ever with this great truck. No breakdowns, squeaks or rattles, and routine maintenance has been limited to oil and filters. Fuel mileage is still superb; I averaged 23 m.p.g. on...
