There are plenty of tuned cars running around, but I'm more interested in long-term data than dyno numbers. If you were maintaining a reliability log, what wou…
I started measuring the oil level every few hundred miles and it is definitely falling between changes. There is no obvious puddle and I do not notice smoke. H…
Twice this month I turned the key/button and got lights but no crank. After trying again a few minutes later it started normally. Battery connections look clea…
The A/C works well with road speed but gets noticeably warmer at long lights, then cools again almost immediately once moving. Does that point more toward airf…
Budget works for either a lightly used luxury SUV or a new mainstream model with a full warranty. I'm more worried about three-to-five-year ownership cost and…
I can feel a small click through the seat base in corners. Mounting bolts appear tight and power functions work. How do you isolate rail play versus the frame…
Vehicle-history report lists a minor accident several years ago but does not describe the repair. Paint looks okay in photos. What should the PPI focus on befo…
The compatibility chart is narrower than the advertisement headline. I am trying to make a practical choice for my normal routine. How would you make this deci…
More basic vehicle functions now route through software and central displays. I like the features, but worry about one electronics failure affecting unrelated…

Getting a repetitive click from around the roof/header area on rough pavement. Top seals look okay and it doesn't leak. Has anyone isolated a trim/latch/felt c…
Everyone has that one job they postponed because the car still 'felt fine.' What maintenance item taught you not to ignore early warning signs? I'm in Las Vega…
Quick one about the Envision. The car stays dry in normal rain but after a long storm one front footwell gets damp. Door seal looks okay. What drain/seam tests…
There is a low hum that rises with road speed regardless of engine RPM. Thoughts?
Coolant temperature rises while sitting with the A/C on, then drops once the car is moving. Coolant level looks correct. Fans run, but I do not know whether th…
I want smaller winter wheels for more sidewall. Overall tire diameter can stay close, but I am worried about caliper and spoke clearance. What measurements sho…
The car is valuable to me but not exotic. Enclosed transport costs noticeably more. When is the extra protection actually worth paying for versus a reputable o…
The seller needs to contribute funds before the lien can be released. (I am comparing actual written terms rather than trying to guess a market average.) What…
I can feel a small click through the seat base in corners. Mounting bolts appear tight and power functions work. How do you isolate rail play versus the frame…
Crossed 50k miles, so I figured I'd post what has actually broken, what maintenance cost, tire life, fuel economy, annoying quirks and whether I'd buy the same…
