After test driving it, I knew this car was amazing. It is reasonably priced, has amazing upgrades ( you can even get a screen with GPS built right in). My gas mileage is great. I get about 33 in town and 37 on the highway. I was moving up from a VW beetle that got about half of that!!WOW. I'm in love and plan on keeping it for atleast a couple of years until I need more space, for now its...

I have the S type which is sporty looking and has the sun roof. With gas prices as high as they are I am able to get about 40 miles per gallon. The safety is absolutely wonderful as airbags come standard in the front and sides of the car. I definitely would recommend this car to anyone looking for a cost effective fuel efficent...

He lives in Long Island and he invited us to spend the 4th by the beautiful pool they just finished building. After we finished drying up he called me over to the garage area and said he wanted to show me something. As the garage door was rolling up he was telling me that his 13 year old son was recently encouraging him to get a "green" car. And so he did. When the garage door was up a beautiful brand new British racing green Aston Martin Vantage convertible was arrogantly parked in there. — — At this point I would like to declare myself not a car enthusiast. I only drive about 4000 miles a year and my car actually is a boring "green" Prius. — — Forget what I just said. The minute I saw the Aston Martin I couldn't stop ooohing and ahhhing and wowing and begging for a spin. Apparently an Aston Martin can turn a semi-intellectually-oriented, semi-environmentally-friendly man into a gas guzzling auto...

The past two weekends I drove on the highway four hours in each direction. I went from sea level to sea level, so it wasn't all downhill or anything, and I averaged 39 mpg. — — The car is beautiful, sleek, wonderful, luxurious, and, if you are patient, a gas-saver! —...

I decided to try out a beautiful Toyota Camry and it has been wonderful. It is great on gas, floats over bumps as if you were gliding on air, and is the most comfortable car I have owned to date. I am extremely happy with my purchase and will be sure to stick with toyotas from this point on...

I'm here talking about our Volkswagen Jetta 2001 TDI (Turbo Diesel Injected). — Okay.. so here's a review for all the wives whose husbands are trying to conserve fuel. Many people are talking about going with hybrids. What about a diesel? — The Volkswagen Jetta TDI is quite fuel efficient.. we get 45-50mpg. Right now were paying about the same for premium gasoline. The diesel is more fuel efficient than most hybrid cars out there. — Hybrid cars use a large number of batteries and a gasoline motor. Which overtime can be a bit costly to maintain. — Diesel engines last for a very long time. We have 265,000 miles on our Jetta and its still going strong. — Volkswagens are also very comfortable cars to drive in. — Some people complain about the smell of a diesel. Just sit behind a bus, and take in the odor of diesel burning. While diesels do have a specific odor, the Jetta is not a bus. The only time we smell the diesel is on start up or if...

The most important thing to me was that it was very fuel efficient. I was also glad to hear my mechanic tell me that Mazda's are very durable and extremely reliable. These cars are extremely fast and are very attractive to look at. The price at the dealership was great and it came with a 4 year bumper to bumper warranty! I can honestly say that this was a great investment. —...

I keep up with the oil changes so other than that she is great! She has not broken down on me yet, even though a deer literally hit her not the other way around she still ran and is still going fine. If I had to get another car I would stick with a...

Considering the price, fuel economy and comfort level this SUV is really a great deal. — Few points I will like to mention here are — 1. I have driven 30k miles so far and have never experienced any technical or functional issue — 2. Fuel economy is approx 18-19 mpg in city and 21-22 mpg on highway. — 3. Leg room is a little issue in the back seats but seats are very comfortable. —...

I had to replace the A/C 5000 miles after the waranty ran out unfortunatly this was in 2004, 13 months after I paid the dealer to fix it it happened again. The gage cluster doesn't work I took it several times to the dealer spent many hours with GM Customer Service, Their answer to me was that they really did not have to make any goodwill gestures to help me with any of these repairs. My response was the car was only a 2003 I shouldn't have too much contact with them yet. GM finally recalled that issue but only on cars within a certain mileage. Nevertheless they did not help. My transmission went out. This time a took it to a machanic it was there I found out I was not alone these are all typical problems with 2003 Yukon Xl. For $800 a month I was not expecting so many...

The only thing that has gone wrong is the serpentine belt busted. I get 28mpg on average and it is great considering gas prices are over $4.00. I love the heated seats, CD player, and sunroof. This is a great car at a very affordable price. Highly...

It has a screen that lets me know what going on with it. It tells me when the doors are ajar. It lets me know when the tires are low, oil it low, how many miles to empty, ect. — The only problem that I have has it with my oil light. The oil light on my car keeps coming on. I have put oil in it quite a few times. I put it in there to the level that it called for. It still says that my oil is low. I don't know if it's leaking or if there is a problem with the gage. —...

Bought the 08 Caravan in April and could not have made a worst decision. Within 3 months of having it, so many things are going wrong with it but the most annoying are these noises that the van makes. There is a squeeking in what sounds like the AC unit, a whistling in the drivers door and just a loud ride. The icing on the cake is that of course, when taking it to the dealer, they can't re-create the noises. — Lastly, the automatic doors sometimes start to close but retract (for no reason) when you push the button so you think the door is closed until you walk back out to it and see your child's stuff exposed. —...

It has all the bells and wistles. it is one of the most comfortable rides that I have ever been in. I would recommend this car to anyone who likes a smooth ride. I commut about two hundred miles a day and would not even think about driving anything...

The first issue was with the rack and pinion on the car.  The next malfunction was with the driver's side window.  I also had to have the transmission rebuilt, and not even two years later, it began to act as though it was having the same problems again.  While I was dealing with the transmission issue, the entire air conditioning system--compressor and all--died.  This car became a black hole for money, and I was lucky to get out before the transmission died again.  I was so concerned about the mechanical condition of the car, that I refused to sell it to an individual.  Instead, I sold it to a corporation to be sold at...
