    The reliability issues will put you in the poor house! With these junky European cars being made these days, all I can say is if you can't afford them new you definitely cannot afford them used!

    That will be interesting. By all accounts Toronto and Van should be hit to some degree by the new rules, however with foreign money flowing in, we may not get what we expect.

    The MDX has a 5 speed transmission that has not proven to be a robust unit. I would shy away from any V6 with a Honda automatic in the accord, TL, pilot or MDX until 08 when a stouter unit was used....

    Roddy's common automotive myths part 1

    There are a lot of automotive myths going around the forums that need to be exposed. I ran this a couple years ago with great success. Here is a list to get things started off:

    I don't believe I mentioned "means" in my post. My point was merely the vehicles are a horrible investment so you might as well buy something that doesn't self destruct.

    Yes, the RX300 definitely have some transmission woes. The RX330 is fine, but they fetch considerably more money. Speaking of transmission issues, avoid the MDX and pilots for the same reason.

    Sounds like the pads are down to the squealers. To fix - remove brake pads and replace them
  19. Re: Automatic car doesn't move until warmed up

    Your transmission has leaking seals - the solution is a rebuild of the POS 604 transmission

    Re: Why aren't chryslers more popular?

    I can only hope that this is a joke.

    The wonder is, not why Chrysler products don't sell better, but rather how Chrysler manages to sell as many of their turds as they do
