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!

Not the worst unit out there, but a 4runner is definitely a better choice
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.
I find it ironic that most help insure that they are never truly wealthy by buying cars to make them look wealthy
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....
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:
1. An automatic...
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.
You know what they say about "who is soon parted with his money". Unfortunately spending money seems to be something that it takes no ability to do, but few have the ability to make it faster than...
My view is that if you're going to spend a large amount of money on a fast depreciating asset you might as well spent it on one that's not going to self destruct before your new born reaches first...
Another overpriced over-engineered Mercedes, that the doors will fall of once it's out of warranty and is guaranteed to be impenetrable to anyone but the dealer technician.
One really needs to take classic car/truck appraisals will a grain of salt. I don't think they ever write one for less than 10,000 on a vehicle even if it's a rotten out pile of junk that has no...
Yes sequoia is a great choice. High mileage ones still have lots of life left in them if they have been maintained and the frame isn't too rusty. 3rd gen 4 runner is an option if you can find one...
Torque converter = torque multiplier
The original poster sounds like at least a relatively bright fellow, so I suspect that he's already checked the fluid level.
Adding a transmission additive is no more going to fix a transmission problem, than an oil change is going to fix a spun rod bearing.
All you can hope is to buy a bit of time by causing the seals...
LOL from the Fox news website hey? That's some quality reporting.
Sounds like the pads are down to the squealers. To fix - remove brake pads and replace them
Your transmission has leaking seals - the solution is a rebuild of the POS 604 transmission
LOL kind of reminds me of Mercedes benz massive brake by wire recall lol
Talk about a witch hunt
Yeah aside from the swedes I think the saturn/saab/isuzu(defunct) dealers will be the only one that will notice that they're gone.
LOL conspiracy theorists make me laugh. Is there really nothing better that you can put your efforts into in your free time?
Wow you guys sound like you're pretty wise with money
I wouldn't wish any Chrysler product on my worst enemy
A block heater is going to do a much better job of warming up the entire engine than is a magnetic oil pan heater. The latter are for those who don't have the no-how or are too lazy to install a...
The fact that it happened after you're being stuck is a bad sign. A transmission rebuild very well may be in your future.
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
If you're going to try to define GM, you'd be wise to leave the cobalt out of the argument. Sure the SS has good numbers but when you look at the rest of the car you pretty quickly see how GM managed...
The buick 3800 was on the list many years and that redefines the term "ancient"
It's been on there since 95 (when it came out), so no one can say it didn't have a good run
LOL do I see the 2.4 l ecotec on there? Was there really so few decent engines to choose from this year?
Just think about this statement and then come back.
IS this a joke?
I wouldn't get too excited, it's very likely Chrysler may not exist by then.
The evidence for global warming happening and being due to man made activities is overwhelming. One really can't argue that it's happening with a straight face.
The koreans are doing great work these days. I would have no hesitation buying one of their cars if I thought that they were making the best product in a category that I was looking at.
Boring perhaps but not too badly finished and the quality of the materials is above average.
Too many I'm afraid. The 300c is a poor quality car from top to bottom. If you think that it's anything but you're the only one on the face of this planet.
The Charger sets new standards in poor interiors.
