Looks to me like they replaced the tank, fuel line, and pump, hoping that would fix the problem. Now it still doesn’t run well so it could be the carb, which should have been replaced along with all that other stuff; yet it might be another problem with the engine. Yet that interior is nice and the exterior isn’t too…

Looks like Dutch to me.

You could leave it in gear.  Most manuals would hold your spot on any hill with the engine off of course.

I thought they stopped selling the Accent.

Not around here they aren’t.  I don’t think they’re even sold like that anywhere in North America.

I’d only get it in FWD since that’s the only way to get the efficient hybrid drivetrain. There is just too big a fuel economy gap to the 2.0 Ecoboost in order to get the AWD. So you can get a base model hybrid FWD at that price in the USA.  In Canada we have to pay considerably more.  What I’m waiting for is AWD being…

Yet it also seems true that in the last 40 or so years industry and corporations have been successful at lobbying governments to take those very protections out of the law. For instance the company I worked for hires people as term employees without benefits and then offers to renew for a term. In the meantime the…

I don’t know, but a lot of industries in our areas don’t even have unions vying to represent workers.

Some companies including Ford are beginning to change that in their trucks and in some SUV’s.

I don’t know, but if I read the graphs that you showed near the top of the article, browns don’t even register on the color options in North America.  So where’s all this brown that is being pushed down?

Unless you’re racing your cars, FWD is fine for most people including your friends.

This should have had an lol or something to clarify this was an attempt at humor.  Perhaps if we heard you say the sentence we might have known.

Then throughout your lifetime there have been heavy Toyotas such as the Land Cruiser, the Four Runner, etc.  Yes, it is true that their trucks since the beginning of the last generation have been comparatively heavy.  But their Yarises and Corollas are only 5 or 600 pounds heavier than the same models were in the…

Remember that 2 mpg difference at 18 or 20 is a lot bigger deal than 2 mpg difference at 38 or 40.

Using this hybrid system in a Hino seems like a great move.  This kind of system should be makings its way into a lot more trucks of various sizes.

Other than the grammar in the headline, there are no surprises here.  Those who have more money are buying at higher prices while those without money aren’t buying.  See many entry level models being introduced?  Not even the Honda Civic should be considered an entry level model; remember the Fit.  The only entry…

For that matter, the 1 liter Ecoboost would be a nice improvement on the Wankel. Except for one thing. The Wankel thrived on high rpms and loved to be revved. The Ecoboosts thrive at mid range and suck at high revs.  You’d have totally changed the character of the car.

I will fight you on this one.  Yes, it was slow, as all cars of that time were slow.  I mean that a top Mustang had trouble cracking a 10 second zero to sixty.  However, when it came to handling, these things were amazing.  They were so light and so well balanced that they simply outdid anything else sold for even…

Once again I’m voting against the grain. If that horrible looking Subaru was worth 6100, then surely this great looking Mazda is worth 5500.  It was mentioned that this project had to be abandoned because the owner is moving on to another project.  I’d suggest that the person is moving to another project because…

I don’t know about cars sold today, but recently as I was test-driving cars I came across a 2015 Elantra that came with an actual 5 speed manual transmission, no cruise control and no air conditioning.  I didn’t know that cars came that way in the mid 20teens.
