brand new car

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 19:18:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - It was beautiful, maroon with a gray interior..stick shift...and that wonderful smell that a new car carries. I even purchased the extended warranty. I was so proud of myself. But it didn't take long for reality to set in. I had the car less than a week...

fun to drive

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - I just started working after my 1st daughter was born and I had made some commission checks so I wanted to buy a reliable car (Had a 76 ElCamino) that fit more then 2 and was reliable. I went out on this venture on my own (can't blame him, which is a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - One step on the throttle of this car and you know you've made the right decision. Driving a car that has twice the horsepower of everyday vehicles takes some getting used to, but that extra get up and go is a boon when it comes to merging in traffic or...

good ride

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 19:12:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - If you like a smooth and relaxing ride, if you are looking for a luxury of features, combined with ease of use and comfort at long distances, the Bonneville should be something to look at. I enjoy every minute of driving and realize that I do not get...

Sun, 12 Mar 2000 01:53:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - each time I've rented the car I've worried about one specific feature -- and any time I forget about that problem, I'm reminded the next time I get the car. It has to do with rear window visibility. A combination of (a) the size and placement of...

its ok

Sun, 12 Mar 2000 01:50:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - I will write about my 1988 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Coupe. When most people think about the Oldsmobile 88 they think, grandfathers car, but really this is a miss conception for the coupe. It is a two door sort of sporty looking automobile. You truly could see...

my avalon iz da bomb

Sun, 12 Mar 2000 01:47:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - The side windows have very little tumblehome--they stand nearly straight up. This allows the interior of the car to be much wider than it could be otherwise. It does even more for the perceived width of the interior, since it has the greatest effect on...

1998 BMW 318: man i love bmw'z

Sun, 12 Mar 2000 01:44:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - Man I tell you what, this car is sweet. I don't even care if it is 9 years old, the body is still straight. The seats can twist and contort into all sorts of cool positions. Everyone from myself (5'7") to my large friends (6'3"-6'6") can...

cool mobile

Sun, 27 Feb 2000 17:04:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - we were greeted by a very friendly salesman. He didn't try to pressure us into buying anything; he just told us to take a look around and if we needed anything that he would be glad to help. We told him that we wanted to take a look at the 3-door models,...

cooooooooool

Mon, 14 Feb 2000 19:35:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - I bought my 1989 Toyota Celica GT two years ago this month. I have purchased cars that were older and younger than this one and this one is the only car that has been wonderfully trouble-free. I have only had to have routine maintenance done and I think...

Mon, 14 Feb 2000 19:21:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - Toyota designed this car to be flexible to the drivers wants and needs (with some extra money, that is). With available ground effects, 17" wheels, sport suspension (which lowers the car a full 1.2 inches) and vastly improves the handling but...

happy funn

Mon, 14 Feb 2000 19:14:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - I talked to people who have owned Toyotas. They raved. They talked about the car like it was member of the family. They told me stories of how their Camry's outlived the family pets. They talked about the car being passed from generation to...

coooool

Tue, 8 Feb 2000 19:28:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - At the time of my purchase it had 121K and in a little over two years I have put 56K on the vehicle. (We are now at 176K). My purchase price was $2200. I couldn't be more pleased. I have had minimum mechanical problems and the vehicle is extremely...

cool ride

Sat, 5 Feb 2000 23:04:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - Interior room is hard to come by, especially for anyone over 6 foot. The backseat wasnt intended for anyone over 5'6". Trunk Space is mediocre. And the dash identical to the econo-box civic. SO WHAT?

You dont buy an integra to throw 5...

acura

Sat, 5 Feb 2000 23:01:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - I opted for the 2.3 model rather than the 3.0 because, driving so many miles a year, I was concerned about fuel economy. (You'll never see ME driving a gas-guzzling SUV!) I honestly do not miss the extra power. At better than 150 horses, the 2.3...

i love the shape

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 23:59:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - The model we drove had the 150-horsepower 4-cylinder engine mated to an automatic transmission. Usually that's a prescription for slow, but in this case there was power to be had. Occasionally I had to manually shift down to 3rd gear for the power, but...

good for a first car

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 23:56:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - It was recently totalled in a rear-ender, a Ford Explorer crumpled my trunk like aluminum foil. The car rode very low to the ground, which caused problems on bumpy roads and dips, but nothing major. The dash put a bad glare on my windshield, and there...

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 23:53:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - This car flies, it corners like it's on rails, and it's just fun to drive. Had her going 80mph on a straightaway, felt totally in control. I haven't had any problems with it. People turn and look when they see this car coming.

I have an...

i love this suv

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 18:41:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - I treasure my navigator. The room is great for transporting my son and half the lacrosse team around, and I didn't know vehicles the size of the navigator could be called luxurious until I sat in this. So again many of the great things about this vehicle...

very open

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 18:27:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - I was looking for an inexpensive 4x4 for my wife to drive due to the frequent snowfall here in Western Maryland. I also thought it would be fun to have a convertible to use in the Summer. I found the perfect combo in the Jeep Wrangler. This vehicle is...

sleek mobile

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 18:25:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - I love the secure feeling I have driving this car. The ABS brakes always stop me in time, even on ice, and even when I brake a little later than I should. The 4-wheel drive is great when the rear or front wheels are in a slippery situation.

okay and smooth

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 18:20:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - in spite of reported improvements, my ML so far lacks the build quality of the Navigator I traded in (as well as the 2 Miatas and the Tauras SHO I have also owned recently). The vehicle has a few rattles (which I and the dealer are still trying to...

smooth ride

Mon, 31 Jan 2000 19:30:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - My thoughts during the initial test drive of the 1999 Concorde were immediately directed to a bunch of subtle but very noticeable improvements. Perhaps the best way to explain my feeling is what I’d refer to as fine tuning. First of all, the headlights...

hot

Mon, 31 Jan 2000 19:28:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - I did like the looks of the car and the roomy interior. It all started with an Oil Change, that is when they spotted the transmission leak, then it went on to transmission problems one after the other. After fixing the problem I received a recall notice...

Mon, 31 Jan 2000 19:26:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tuffinc - The autostick is fun, but a mixed bag. It is fun when it works, but the transmission is a little too intelligent for my taste. Perhaps I am an unusual driver, but when in traffic I drive conservatively, and tend to let it go on the open road when there...
