Tiguan :: Comparison Between SE And CR-V EX-L
My husband and I are considering getting a small SUV. We've narrowed our choices down to the 2012 Tiguan SE 4-motion or the CR-V EX-L AWD. I'm working on a pro/con analysis between the two. I've looked through some threads here, and would like to get some updated opinions from current owners.
Why would you pick the Tiguan over the CRV or vice versa?
I'm a long-time VW driver, so I'm naturally leaning towards the Tiguan. The Honda is slightly less expensive to start, and gets slightly better gas mileage, potentially translating into a few $1000s in savings over the VW during the life of the car. We have no real experience with Hondas. My mother has an Accord and decided she hates it after about 1 year. I do think it's mainly because she liked her Subaru and only traded it in because my father hated it.
Some more background info:
This would become my husband's daily driver and his Wrangler would become our third/weekend car. We're in no rush, and may decide to just keep the status quo. My husband commutes 40 miles per day, so better gas mileage is a plus. We have a Lab who will ride in the car pretty often, but we will buy a waterproof seat cover for the backseat of whichever car we get.
IS F (2008-2014) :: Comparison Of ISF And M5
I bought a new 2008 ISF back in the day and acquired a 2009 M5 with 6,000 miles late last year.
My ISF has headers, exhaust and throttle control which absolutely changed the car from a Lexus to a contender, consider the mods with the following comparison. I enjoy my M5 a lot, it is my out of town car- drives great at 180, corners well, solid, roomy (being from Vegas I can fit 4 bodies in the trunk)..I can go on about all the positives.
However, the F is faster with the mods, better ergonomics, and has fewer repair issues. It feels like a go cart. It pulls the 5 until it hits the limiter. As there were only 500 or so produced each year.
Golf/GTI VI :: Comparison Between H&R And OEM Front Swaybar
Since i bagged my car and i didn't bought the swaybar end links to fix it it to my air struts, when i got it installed the swaybar got removed.
Now as my swaybar is off i might upgrade, my question is, Is an h&r front swaybar much better than an OEM one, and if yes should i pick a 26 or 28 mm o e (what's the difference, pipe size?)
Prius C :: MPG Calculation Method Comparison
This chart compares what my C's computer calculated for MPG to simple arithmetic. Seeing consistent optimistic numbers from your computer like I am?
The average error is -2.7 mpg and the STD is 0.85 mpg. So the error is fairly consistent. I also have shown the gallons purchased, but there is no correlation to mpg error.
Lexus LX 2008+ :: Comparison Of Toyota And Escalade
So the LX and Landcruiser have shared platforms over the year but I've always wondered why Toyota / Lexus never released a stretched version of the trucks like an Escalade ESV or Yukon XL, etc? I know the trucks currently seat 8 people but the 3rd row is a little tight except for little kids. Also, if you have the 3rd row up, then the trunk space is all but gone. For example, with the Escalade ESV, with the extended version, the seats in the 3rd row are laid out just a little better than the 3rd row in the shorter truck version so it's a little more comfortable. And the trunk space in the stretched version is way more than the normal version.
Of course, the Escalade is not sold in other countries where it's seriously taken off road. I know that it's mainly a US vehicle that roams the crazy parking lots of many upscale malls whereas the Land Cruiser / LX570 is primarily the same in the US but it's also sold in many foreign countries where it really is used off-road and having a stretched version is not really the best for off-road maneuvering. Even so, I think Toyota/Lexus would sell more of these vehicles if they did develop a stretched version. Maybe call it a Landcruiser XL or LX570 XL..
Actually if Toyota made a stretched version, I'd say calling it a Land Bruiser would be more appropriate. I certainly would love an 8 seater LX 570 with the larger trunk area and possible better sitting space with the stretched version. Couple this with the Lexus quality and reliability and Lexus would give the Escalade ESV some decent competition.
Prius C :: How To Turn Fuel Consumption Comparison Off
How do I turn the "fuel consumption comparison" off? I want to see only the quantity and price off the gasoline I have consumed.
There isn't a "disable" feature, so I am guessing I set it to 0 mpg?

We have both a 2005 Golf TDI (150,000 miles) and a 2001 Passat GLX (100,000 miles). We need to reduce our number of vehicles, so we need to sell one of them. The question is, which one?
The Passat is a rare manual transmission version and is in immaculate condition. The Golf TDI is a reliable and efficient workhorse. (I no longer have the 35-mile commute that caused me to buy the Golf in the first place.) We love both vehicles and can't decide which to sell. Both vehicles are garaged.
Golf/GTI VI :: 2008 Vs 2011 Model - Comparison
I have a 2008 GTI, black, DSG - I love this car, best I have ever had. It has worked flawlessly - never in the shop for anything other than routine maintenance. Anyway, my lease will be up at the end of the year and was considering either buying out the lease or getting a new 2011 model. What's new and "improved" in the 2011 model?

So I recently got a 9006 8000k HID Kit off of E - bay and I'm planning on installing it in place of the stock HIDs. However , I just realized that the stock HIDs have a D4S ballast and connector which do not fit the 9006 HID kit that I just got.
So should I remove the old D4S ballast and put in the new kit, or buy D4S bulbs that fit the stock ballast ? Also, the driver side headlight is flickering and goes out at times so I don't know if the stock ballast is acting up.
Camry :: 2010 - AC Blowing Hot Air
Car details : Camry 2010 LE with 49K miles
Issue - AC blows hot air
Back ground - During the month Jan 2014, my car slipped because of ice on the road with this my bumper was damaged. While fixing this the dealership noticed slight damages to the condenser and it was replaced too. It hard to tell if AC worked at all after the fix as it was one of the worst winters of Chicago.
So in summer my AC started behaving strange AC works some times and sometimes blow really hot air. I took it to the dealer ship they are telling me its a bad compressor. Also this issue is not related to the fix they made.
Some other info:
- There is no leak
- Pressure on intake of the compressor is 115 and high pressure side is 100 psi(which is strange)
Replacing a compressor is costly affair, so I want to be really sure its compressor. The thing is its works some but sometime it does not and I am afraid to leave it as it is because in the long run it might cost me even more.

View 3 RepliesCamry :: 2010 SE Versus LE Grille
I have been looking around online for a chrome grille replacement for my 2010 SE Camry. Problem is every site I visit and 90% of the grilles on ebay only sell grilles that fit the LE or XLE model. They all say "Does not fit Hybrid or SE model" however they look the same size in pictures. Are the LE and SE Grilles really not interchangeable for 2010? Here is an example of one I am looking at:

Camry :: 2010 LE - Pedals Too Close To Each Other?
So I've been driving my 2010 Camry LE 4-cyl for just over 2.5 years and 36K miles now. (Odometer has 66K miles on it.)
Now that winter is finally well under way, I've been wearing my Columbia hiking boots while driving. (BTW these are just suede and canvas hiking boots, not the super bulky winter boots that they also make.)
I've worn these shoes while driving my Camry during the previous couple of winters. No problems whatsoever.
This afternoon, however, I accidentally pressed the brake and gas pedals simultaneously while pulling into a parking spot and attempting to come to a complete stop. I heard the engine begin to race and the car was about to surge forward, when I realized what was happening. So I quickly lifted my foot off the pedals and pressed the brake pedal in a split second. Crisis averted.
Strangely enough, this happened to me *twice* today. I realize the hiking boot is wider than a typical running or dress shoe, but after all the hoopla in the media several years ago, and after browsing through the series of similar incidents on car complaints website, I am wondering if there really is a design issue with the proximity of the pedals on this car.

Camry :: 2010 - AC Quit Working
I own a 2010 Camry LE 4 cyl.
The A/C quit working and I took it into the shop. They said the compressor was bad and wanted $1800 to replace it. At the time I didn't have the money and told them I would have to wait on it. Low and behold about two weeks later the A/C started working again and worked fine for the last two months. Now it's out again.
What you think might be the problem other than the compressor?
