If I could close my eyes to dream.

Where only the rich get decent cars and everyone else is a slave to fuel mileage, whether they actually give a damn about it or not. Really, a carmaker could make a killing in that market if everyone wasn't so paranoid about the MPG number. It's almost like that's the only number that matters anymore, and because of it there is not one new car I would consider buying today. Not even some of the new Buicks? o.o

New topic: Diesel Cars Some cars out there such as trucks and large SUVs run on Diesel. Then there are people who are 'earth-friendly'. Do you think that Diesel cars should be removed off the roads? Explain your rationale. (I wanted to say that so badly. )

Why so? Pride in being American or do you feel that American cars are more dependable and less-costly in the long run?

Any particular American car company you're looking into? Chevy, Buick?

The PLF loyalist Posts: 1,831 Group: Elite Members Member #329 Joined: Dec 19, 2009	Hollow Abyss Feb 21 2010, 09:49 AM European > All ^-^' There are a lot of manufacturers and over 100 cars in the European end, is there any chance you could narrow it down to a manufacturer or car model? I own a Ford Fiesta MK5 Zetec like this one. This isn't my car and mine has black tinted windows with a chrome grill.

The 745Li was released between the years 2002 and 2005.

The PLF loyalist Posts: 1,831 Group: Elite Members Member #329 Joined: Dec 19, 2009	^ That version of 7 series this one of the more reliable, comfortable and finest cars that came out of BMW. I couldn't own one no thanks to my insurance company, even with a clean driving license and no insurance claims.

The PLF loyalist Posts: 1,831 Group: Elite Members Member #329 Joined: Dec 19, 2009	Toyota have had a list of problems. 1. Sticking throttle cable / pedal. 2. Breaks that don't work or suddenly don't work. 3. Steering issues. It's a big hit to there reputation that will take time to get there rep back up. Mini have had problems with the power steering pump failure and Vauxhall had done a recall for some models that have a 'unstable steering connection' which makes me worry of people's safety. Other manufacturers are doing checks over there cars so they don't have the same sort of problems like Toyota and Vauxhall which is understandable. It's almost like the manufacturers are getting sloppy on build quality for selling numbers instead of reliability over profits.

They got what they deserved for attempting to cover up these problems for the past few years. :-/
