New car buyers are maniacs? uh ok. The last seven cars I bough were new from the dealer. Some factory ordered. I just place a higher value on previous maintenance history and having a warranty.  When you need to get to work without breaking down and want your family in a reliable car...  Buying new does provide more…

Bad review. Where is the weight of the trailer and car being towed? How do we know how much of the tow rating is used up? Did you get near the GVRW limit?

A 2018 ford expedition has more cargo room, more people room, and can get 20 MPG combined.  It also has 95 more horsepower.  I’d take the ford over the honda any day.

This article is missing age limits.  Manufacturers vary in their recommendation but the range I’ve seen is replace tires after 5 - 8 years.  I swapped out my last truck tires out at 6 years even though they had some tread left. 

uhhh he he.  You said “stimulate”

NHTSA clearly states you cannot compare crash score ratings across vehicle weight classes.

Actually IIHS also concluded that on average, heavier cars are safer than lighter car.  They backed this up with real statistics, not political bias.  Just some food for thought...

Here is where we chime in:

The answer for everyone is NOT mass transportation.  Rural communities and even suburbs cannot rely completely on mass transportation.  Some people just need a car to get around the sticks...

Whoopi didn’t even let her speak and shouted over her to kick her out? This is the behavior of a child.  This is intolerance manifested.  Shame on Whoopi.

Exactly! Misleading headline.

I made a Binar reference to someone this week.  They didn’t get it even though they watched star trek.  Cheers!

When comparing to Korean cars, why is there no mention of Volvo’s crash investigation teams? 40+ years of crash data from real crashes in the wild? Their own world class crash test facility? The amount of high strength boron steel in the safety cage? Curious why many reviewers of Volvo just say “safety” or “automatic…

Well said!

Came here to say the exact same thing. Put as many extra hundreds you have saved to get something that isn’t a total heap. Drive it until you have enough saved up for decent-used. Great advice Andy!

Or fit any car seats with good crash test scores. Most car seats that are safe are wide tank-like behemoths. When we were car shopping three years ago I started taking car seats on the test drive. “Here let me see if this fits”. Surprising how many narrower cars just can’t fit car seats.

4 dour truck doesn’t handle more than 6 people. In many cases people need the seating for 8 or even 9. full truck framed SUVs are a good mix of towing and people hauling. For towing less than 4,000 pounds, sure CUV or minivan. Remember: Just becuase your towing limit is X does not mean you can tow that much because of…
