Chevrolet Corsa Evolution 2005

I just bought it last week?

[SLCPUNK]

I am actually looking to buy a new car.  I am thinking about buying a Toyota Tundra.  Any thoughts on the new Tundras?  SLC, Q?  You guys both seem to know quite a bit more about cars than me.  I want a new truck, any advice.  I dont think I will buy another american car; I am sick of my car breaking down after 20k miles.  What about sudans, what would you buy if you were buying something new?  Accord, Camry, or something else ?

I had would buy a Toyota truck in a minute. They are just like their cars: run forever.

My wife has a 97 Camry with 130k miles on it (We bought it with 33k on it). I have driven that thing everywhere: Grand Tetons, Park City, Grand Canyon, across country, tons of snow driving......you name it. It has never failed me once. The only thing I have done is maintain it (I do my own work) and replace a battery one chilly morning. It shows no sign of letting up. I bet I can get to 200k with no problem. I need to replace the shocks and tires now, but that is it. It leaks no oil, none. The engine is totally dry, with 130k on the clock. In fact, no leaks anywhere.

Honda had a faulty tranmission that pooped itself in all models (including Acura) around 97-99 (you'll have to search, there is a petition online over it, demanding a recall). But other than that ONE problem with their ATs they are good as ever. I have bought and sold many cars, and the highest mileage and fastest sellers were the Hondas. I saw one with 333k miles on it and it ran like a top and looked new. I sold two that had over 200k, one had 235k and the other 210k. Both sold in about 3 days, and most important, screamed when I punched the gas and dropped the gear.

Honda civics sip gas and are fun to drive stick. Accord and Camry both get great safety ratings and get good mpg too.

Jettas are too much up in the air. Some are great, others SUCK.

New Mercedes (can you say problems?) are being beat my Huyndais now as far as reliability is concerned. Huyndai is making a great car, from what I read, but I don't know anything about them really.

Another great car I sold a couple of: Nissan!!

I have never personal owned one, although I probably would buy one as my next car. The reason I like Nissan is that they all have timing CHAINS, not belts. Thus you skip the timing belt/waterpump replacement every 60k which runs 275-550 bucks (depends on where you go). On a 4 cylinder Nissan, you will never have to replace that chain. One less thing to worry about. Timing belts break all the time because people don't replace them, usually causing sever engine damage. Usually higher end cars go chain only. Anyway, unless it's changed, they use chains, and I like that a lot. One Nissan I sold, had 157k on it, and every single thing worked. I would not have hesitated to drive it across country.

If you are feeling brave my number one sedan pick is the 96 c220. It is the most reliable Mercedes built since the diesels and can rack up serious troublefree miles. 93-95 had headgasket and wiring harness issues. By 96 they were taken care of. 97 was the introduction of the electronic transmission, and while that got awards for it's design, it also had a faulty throttle body whiched caused problems. The I-4, 1996 had the now bulletproof engine, and equally long lasting transmission. The car is slow of the line, but can easily go 100 mph once it's rolling, gets about 33-35mpg, has 4 airbags, and is solid as a freakin' rock. It can take a hit.

Anywho........

nice one, a car dealer offered to trade my fiat coupe to a metallic/black/green turbo version of that car, it was 92-yea<rs model I think and targa, do you think it would've been a good bargain?

[anythinggoes]

for speed yes for looking a bit different yes for fuel economy no

[Lara]

Thinking of buying a new car, and i am still undecided between the :

Volkswagen Polo
The Mini
The PT Cruiser
Toyota Yaris

Definately the VW! I give you Yaris as an alternative.
I don't see why PT Cruiser is one of your options, it's so different from the others (and ugly). 

I drive a Ford Orion '92.
Please, MTV, pimp my ride! 

[slashBOG]

I have a 97 Chevy Camaro,, Manual Trans.. White with T-TOps.. Love it.. 

[anythinggoes]

time for a revival i think

well time has passed the Supra i owned went away to london with some nice people once i found out the back Axle was rotten and the car was too dangerous to drive so i settled down and purchased a nice normal family car

This one in fact a 2001 Renault Laguna 1.8 16v



Nothing was wrong with the car but i was bored driving it there was no excitement no class, i did some thinking and spent a while bidding on some 92 onwards Jaguar X-JS but was never successful in my price range, i considered 7 series BMW's, then one day it arrived, i work for a garage and we get trade ins all the time, normally they are standard boring (to me) family cars. But this certain car caught my eye and i knew i had to have it, as it growled past me, so after many negotiations with my sales manager i finally got the keys, every did and still does think im mad for buying this, even me sometimes but hey, what can you do.

So this is it my new car,

 

5.0 V8 Mercedes S500 Limo this car just glides, it weighs over 2 tonnes yet is limited to 155 MPH and 0-60 in 7.2 sec
the other great thing is the tinted windows for xtra privacy.

My only problem is where do i go after this when i get bored of it

[fuckin crazy]

a Pushin Rolls ... push it up one hill , it rolls down the other . with Maypop tires .

[GNRreunioneventually]

damn anythinggoes, got some nice rides

i got a 1990 Ford F-250 one month ago. It hauls ass took it muddin with no problems at all went right through the corn field, interior needs work so does the out side but there is no rust and the guy only wanted $2500 for it. Which was $1500 below bluebook which was a God send cause thats all i had for a truck. I wish to have a job soon so that i can get strait pipes, chrome, bigger tires, new interior, locks, and an obnoxiously loud stereo
