Excellent build quality, service and performance

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - First of all, I am not going to write about stats and numbers about the BMW 325, those can be found at edmunds.com, car magazines, etc. 1. The base price is at around $29 US, but most that are available are loaded and price will carry from the upper...

Nice Sleek Design, a good player

Wed, 14 Jan 2004 21:04:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - I was tempted to upgrade to progressive scan when JVC offered a $20 rebate. So at the end, this player costs about $70 shipped so it was a very nice deal. 1. Cosmetics. Nice sleek design. The silver finish is satin like, smooth and will complement...

Very nice picture quality and design.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - To find the specs of this TV, visit jvc.com I had this television for about two weeks now and here is what I think. 1. If you have no HD tuner, or do not plan to get/rent one from your digital cable company, picture quality is just par like a typica...

Finally! an SUV made by Honda.

Tue, 7 Jan 2003 19:17:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - Unlike the Passport (Isuzu Rodeo sibling), the Honda Passport is all HONDA.

General Appearance.

1. It looks boxy in certain angles but show some hint of aerodynamic styling.

2. The wheels seems rather small for its size. It...

Best SUV in its class

Thu, 17 Jan 2002 14:54:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - In October 2001, I purchased a brand new Nissan Pathfinder LE fully loaded.

I am not going to write statistics since those are available in different magazines and websites.

The Exterior

1. It is very classy, nice rounded edges, and...

Pretty good mini suv, not great

Mon, 5 Nov 2001 18:00:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - I am not going to write about stats and specs for this SUV. That is mostly available in car magazines, and many other websites.

First impressions:

1. From the outside, it looks larger and 'meaner' than a comparably priced Toyota Rav4 or...

A near perfect balance.

Tue, 30 Oct 2001 20:25:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - This SUV offers you just about everything you need for around $30,000. Very few SUVs can have that claim.

1. Power: At 240 hp and 265 lb ft of torque, this is truly remarkable for a 3.5liter V6. These numbers are comparable to other SUVs with V8s...

Worth every cent at $35

Mon, 9 Jul 2001 02:18:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - First of all, some websites are still selling the Dimera 3500 for $70-$99. Shop around and you will find it at under $50 and with some patience, on ebay for under $40.

1. Very easy initial set up. Just put the battery in, set it to "standard"...

Almost perfect

For about $100, why not this one

Wed, 11 Apr 2001 18:58:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - I've been using this vacuum cleaner for over a year now and so far, it has worked great. It is light, powerful, visually appealing, and works real well. What I like most are the onboard attachments. It is so simple to use this vacuum from a full upright...

Try other wedges first

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 20:51:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - Before you spend nearly $100 on these wegdes, you might want to try other wedges first. Or at least, buy it from a store who will offer to take it back for a full refund even after you use it for a few rounds. I am glad I did that.

I gave this wedge...

FREE checking...I'd rather pay

Tue, 3 Apr 2001 18:17:31 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - I've banked with them for over a year and I am glad that is over. The service is mediocre at best (regarding branches in Hesperian Blvd, Hayward CA and Mowry Avenue, Fremont, CA). If you go there 15 minutes to 5 pm, expect some long lines with 2-3...

Cheap TPC style course

Fri, 23 Mar 2001 19:15:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - For around $30 for residents on weekends, this is a very affordable 18 hole course.

It is a par 72, nearly 7000 yards depending on where you tee, and although it is not well maintained, it is a good deal.

1. Tee boxes are in bad shape, some are...

A short not so challenging course

Fri, 23 Mar 2001 19:05:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - This course is good for beginners and high handicappers. There are no real hazards to the course except on the first hole which is not really that bad. The only way you will hit the water if you catch your ball thin or fat (#1 is a short par 3, I believe...

golf course is just par

Wed, 21 Mar 2001 18:07:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - For about $15, price is reasonable for this 9 hole course.

It is well designed, and maintained and very pleasant greens. However, the golf course is in the corner of two major highways so noise is an issue. Also, several tee boxes are right next to...

75,000 miles and counting

Mon, 26 Feb 2001 15:40:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - Okay, to begin with, an airline is an airline. I've flown so many different ones and it's hard to differentiate them except flight attendants uniform.

Since the company I work for prefers we fly United, I logged 75k frequent flier miles.

Here...

Expect much for almost nothing

Tue, 13 Feb 2001 17:54:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - Update: I just spend a lot of time with this driver on the range and now I can say that this is the best driver I own. I love it and you will love it too.

I just bought a demo 10.5 degree medium stiff McHenry Tour Pure Driver at an...

Good quality/price balance

Thu, 1 Feb 2001 16:33:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - For around $135 (as of January 2001), you simply cannot go wrong with this driver. I got a 10.5 degree driver with rifle steel stiff shaft, MRH.

I like the way it feels. The oversize head has a fairly generous sweet spot. I always color my balls on...

Powerful vacuum, heavy price.

Tue, 30 Jan 2001 16:11:37 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - UPDATE-Feb 2001.

I understand that many of you made significant investment to own this vacuum cleaner and some of you may be upset about what I wrote below. There are those who labeled my opinion as "NOT HELPFUL" simply because they DISAGREE...

Powerful on the fairway

Thu, 18 Jan 2001 15:38:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - The Adams Tight Lies is the true definition of a fairway wood. It is easy to hit on the fairway, however, it is quite difficult to hit in the rough or on bunkers, unless you are a PGA Tour Pro.

I really like the club head design. It is sleek,...

a great buy and value

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 21:17:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - I bought this product meaning to complete a couple of projects I put on hold. It needs some detailed sanding.

I did not consider alternate products since the mouse can be used for detail sanding (corners, unusual shapes, etc) and it has enough...

best value for APS camera

Wed, 6 Dec 2000 20:35:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - If you want an APS (advanced photo system) Camera for just under $100, I strongly recommend the Fuji Endeavor 210. I have this camera for over a year now and it works great. The picture quality is just as good, if not better than other APS cameras that...

it is good but not great

Tue, 5 Dec 2000 00:26:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - Update February 2001.

I notice that this radar is more effective if PROPERLY MOUNTED. Try to raise it at least a couple of inches above the top edge of the wiper and make sure it is PARALLEL to the ground (not pointing up or down). It has to be...

For around $50, a great buy

Mon, 4 Dec 2000 21:48:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - As of mid to late 2000, the price of the Odyssey Rossie putters is around $50-$60. You just have to shop around.

Likes:

Nice simple design.

The putter face is durable and so is the sole. It is resistant to those nicks seen in other...

engine has to be spun for power

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlacson - In 1999, I test drove several cars until I finally decided to buy an Acura Integra GSR (frost white). I considered the Eclipse GS, Volkswagen GTI, Mazda Miata but ended up with the Integra.

The purchase price was $19,090 excluding taxes and...
