Any study that has all of Fiat Chrysler over Japanese brands is kind of fishy. I keep my cars for a minimum of 9 years, not 90 days.

Some people get confused as to what a block heater does. It warms up your oil, it does not warm up or charge your battery. If your starter protests at -30, that is likely a battery issue. I'm not saying you don't know the difference, but I've run until that confusion often enough. What is...

This is likely the case. Your wheel speed sensors detecting large wheel speed variation/ lockups will trigger TPMS, ABS, VSC, and traction control lights. Driving it for a bit should reset the sensor and turn off the lights. If that doesn't work you used to be able to short the obd port to...

They really don't look it. They look just about bald. You should measure the tread depth but your picture looks like you are down to the wear bars.

Joined a bit ago but haven't posted in this yet. I currently live in Northern Ontario and currently daily a 2nd Gen Honda Fit that is pushing 300,000 km. I started looking at new cars a while ago after a few mechanical failures left me considering my current car situation. Car seats prevent...

Break in periods can, but shouldn't be, a controversial subject. Some people will tell you to ignore it, or that you are best of driving hard to break in your engine/transmission. Honda/Acura have a complex setup in place to gently break in the engine on the NSX prior to sale, and pretty much...

This stuff is probably too old now but here goes. Yes, get your "invoice pricing", they pay less than that but it is a good starting point. The Civic is a high volume car so there isn't much profit for them and they likely aren't trying to clear them off the lot, so don't expect a massive...

The first generation Honda Fits had a fun fault where they would eject coil packs while driving and somehow not throw a code. Second Gen Fits inexplicably require valve adjustments despite not being from the 80s. Early 2000 Odysseys go through transmissions faster than Spinal Tap went through...

It happens to all cars with power windows where I am. You can try to chip surface ice off and giving the window a firm but gentle tump if you like. Most of the time you just need to go for a longer drive. Embarrassing as hell when it happens in the Tim's drive through.

The best way to increase performance without harming the car's longevity is advanced drivers education. Good benefit of that is it gets you time on the track, rather than the street where you could kill someone. The second best way is performance tires. Anything else is going to be well below...
