I said they were refitting truck and suv plants to make more cars and you implied that they were only doing this in Mexico, which isn't true. You also conveniently forget that Ford moved Focus production OUT of Mexico and BACK to the U.S. exclusively back in 2005. It works both ways. One reason they build vehicles in Mexico is because they can be exported to Latin ... Read More...

I have a question, Is it possible to update my factory radio head unit with a 2004 or 2005 radio model?

I suggested that idea to them, because I'd bet money it was an 08. I doubt they go for it though. My dad had a 2003 and a 2005 Accord, cars that he just got bored with because he put so many miles on them, which is why he really changed up with this atomic blue Civic.

Although, I cannot say I am not surprised by the result, the Honda seems to be a terrific vehicle, although I have never test drove one, but I've seen one in person. Things that really don't make sense about this article, and it strictly deals with the Camry. As others have mentioned, why didn't you use the SE trim? Edmunds complains about "too-soft" of a ride, yet ... Read More...

Leasing right now might be OK if the lease programs use as high residuals as have been rumored. A high residual and a good lease interest rate may make it OK to lease now and you don't have to care about resale value. Most people will end their lease before the 3/36 warranty expires, so they don't have to worry about repair costs and extended warranties either. This ... Read More...

Strange Worn out of Brake Pad

Written by: sean74 on Nov 12, 2007 01:56 PM

I have a 2005 Chevy Malibu LS, 21,000 Miles. I just changed rear brake pads. The very suspicious thing is that one brake pad completely worn out while others looked brand new. The Chevy dealer did not know the reason. This was not covered by warranty because the mileage is above 12K. I am disappointed. It seems Malibu has a lot of defects. My car actually has a lot of ...
