Used Cars: News, Information and Reviews
rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gummyroach - I used to drive an '83 Mustang GL with a 3.8 v6. When that car finally died, I ended up buying an '85 Mazda 626. That car was so cool! I've never seen a car with motorized, center air conditioning vents that would oscillate back and forth. That was a...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cptkiller - This is a rental and so far is quite reliable. I have taken it on I10 to I35 to I20 and it does a good job keeping up with traffic. It is quiet and can sneak to 80 surprisingly quickly. Gas mileage is not real great. Radio controls are fair...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author retrorv - The car handles well and is roomy, but I have spent over $1000.00 on post warranty (what else?) repairs. The fuel injection has screwed up twice and I've had to replace the starter! Add that to 2 recalls, and I think I'll buy a Toyota next time. My wife...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author alexnds - I had a 1992 Nissan Maxima GXE and had it for 11 years. For those not familiar with the car, the GXE had the 165 HP Single Overhead Motor while the SE had the 190 HP Dual Overhead Cam Motor and Variable Valve timing. The two models are essentially the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cmicahjohnson - In the past, I have been a die hard Honda fan. But, through unfortunate (or maybe fortunate) circumstance, I have had the opportunity to upgrade to the 2003 BMW 325ci. I have always admired it from a far and appreciated the styling cues that are...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deguello - In late'97 I needed a car quickly and I consulted Consumer Reports to see what was available and worthy. The 1998 Jetta was a CR "Best Buy". I bought my Jetta to drive to/from work and have never regretted that decision. Almost 9 years later, it is...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author toehairmeow - Automatic, power everything, stock everything. No problems...ever. One day, I swerved off a slippery road and up a cistern and ended up rolling the jeep 3 times. It was totalled, but all I broke was my pinky and eyeglasses. I feel it was my pinky...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author spudview - I've put 25k miles on mine and enjoyed the competitive run to work on the 101 in So Cal. Choose the stick, don't be afraid to wind it up a little and expect 22mpg combined running in the fast lane with the Lexus, Porsche, "Beemer" bunch. I got over 32mpg...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sdthornton - My Exterra does just what I needed it for. A vehicle that doesn't cost me a arm and a leg in monthly payments, fun to drive and reliable. The fit and finish are great! It drives a little different and is more truck like than my Pathfinder, but I...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shadetreedan - I have had my Mazda 6 5 door hatchback four cylinder for almost 4 years now. (60,000 miles now.) This is the best car I have ever owned. Huge storage(carried a full sized wheel borrow and closed the hatch!) Fuel efficient 4 cylinder 30 MPG and yet...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author nuff2do - I really like the interior - it had an ANALOG clock, leather seats and wood trim - it looks very luxurious. I like the way it rides, handles and drives. I discovered that black is a very elegant color for a car, but hard to keep clean, and the black...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author csmac2004 - Worth every dollar. My wife and I own a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am. The only complaints I have so far is not being able to check the tranny fluid (stupid place - right under the hot exhaust manifold) and 3 plugs are extremely hard to get to. Other than that,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ezshift5 - '89 Supra rated a total loss after some dude failed to see the HUGE LED brake light display: what else has Toyota reliability and a manual shift V6? I used the Auto Ass'n Buying Service and was out the door (California door now) at $24840. An overview...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author susytwo - We purchased our 98 Windstar in 2000. We knew the previous owners so we were familiar with the van's history and were confident that it had no service issues the 2 years prior. Every year we have a service issue. Most notably, at 89,000 km the...
