He said it would take 2:30 hours to do, I got there at 8 am and left at 10:30 am

This is the perfect electric car for driving around town, doing errands or even for a short daily commuter. It is very comfy and very quick. The only issue was the first gen battery. The 2011-2014 battery degraded quickly and if the owner did not have Nissan replace it, all those cars are now junk and can only go 20 miles or so on a charge. We had Nissan replace our battery with the 2nd gen battery and it is good as new!

Easy to drive, reliable, good gas mileage, sporty, fun to drive, looks good. Would definitely buy the exact same model again if this car even ever dies

They don't make them like this anymore. Mine is 228664 miles. I got it when it had 60k. The only problems that were major over the years was my steering rack had to be manufacturer replaced (warrantied) 2011 and my transmission module somehow got flooded with transmission fluid and went bad 2013. Other than that this thing is a beast. Probably the best vehicle I've ever owned.

I purchased a 2005 Honda Accord (4-Door, FWD, 5-Spd Manual, 4-Cylinder, LX Trim) from a private seller. Here are some of the things I have noticed throughout ownership of this vehicle. Be aware that this generation of vehicle, due to the aging of the original engines, excess oil may be required to operate this vehicle in between oil changes. Oil changes will also be a more frequent occurrence. This vehicle uses 5W-20 conventional. The first positive attribute of this vehicle is reliability. If the vehicle is taken care of it will last 300k miles and onward. The Accords with manual transmissions are rumored to last longer than ones equipped with automatic transmissions. On a separate side note, Honda is known in the automotive community for reliability. Low maintenance cost is a secondary positive of this vehicle. The second positive attribute of this vehicle is the fuel-efficiency of the 4-cylinder engine. Gets around 25-30 mpg if driven conservatively. Varies depending on the configuration of your vehicle. The third positive attribute of this vehicle is the NHTSA Safety Rating. The driver and passenger side received 5/5 stars in testing, while the side and rollover components of the test received 4/5 stars. The fourth positive attribute of this vehicle is some of its features. Some of the more notable features include the power windows, radio, and the ice-cold a/c capabilities. The fifth positive attribute of this vehicle is the optional towing package you can have installed with a Second-Party installer. The sixth positive attribute of this vehicle is that it is perfect for high school or college students. The seventh positive attribute of this vehicle is the lower insurance rates. Varies depending on multiple conditions. The eighth positive attribute of this vehicle is that it has more luggage space than the Honda Civic. The ninth positive attribute of this vehicle is that the engineers made light maintenance easy to do. All the light components on the vehicle are easy to replace. Filling and draining the oil is easy to perform. As well as replacing the ignition coils if they happen to go bad. Engineers also gave great hand room inside the engine bay. The tenth positive attribute of this vehicle is that the manual transmission variants come with a V-TEC launch gear to ensure you can get up to speed very rapidly. The first negative attribute of this vehicle is the drivability. The vehicle often feels like you are driving a sailboat down the road. The second negative attribute of this vehicle is the 14 active safety recalls. These include the air bags, powertrain, electrical system, steering, and the fuel system. The third negative attribute of this vehicle is that it requires the user to basically fall back into a couch to get in the front seat. Not recommended for plus-sized people or people who have disabilities or conditions that prevent them from entering a car this way. The fourth negative attribute is that DIY Modifications / Additions are not recommended. Honda will void warranties on anything that is not OEM. All aftermarket additions are at risk with their current policy. The fifth negative attribute is the power steering fluid module. Units love to consistently leak and cause the vehicle to have difficulty turning. The sixth negative attribute is a lower towing capacity. The seventh negative attribute is no 4x4. I think this covers everything. Thank you for reading my scroll of a post. I hope everyone reading this has a great day.

I bought my 2010 Hyundai Accent sedan last year (2022) and don’t regret it one bit. I bought this car because I wanted something cheap for going too and from work and school. In the year I’ve owned this car I haven’t had a single issue with it and have put about 20,000kms on it. I’m six feet tall and feel quite comfortable in this car as it has comfortable seats and big windows. the interior has good storage with NINE cupholders and the trunk is quite a decent size. The A/C and heat are good and I like the factory command start during the cold months. It’s also amazing on gas around town but still keeps up with traffic easily. The only thing I could possibly complain about with this car is the highway driving. The wind does push it around quite a bit on a windy day and it doesn’t get incredibly good gas milage on long trips. That being said, it has surprisingly good passing power. One thing I will say is if you live in a winter climate with this car you absolutely need winter tires. I got studded winter tires for mine and it didn’t get stuck once last winter (our winters can be pretty harsh in Saskatchewan). All in all I’m very happy with this car and will be keeping it for the foreseeable future.

Fiat didn't market the 500 correctly. I had a 500 Sport manual that I bought new. It is amazingly fun to drive, incredibly fuel efficient (37+ mpg at a minimum) and a ton of room when you fold the seats down. I went from a Porsche 911 turbo as my daily driver to the cinquecento (500 in Italian). The Fiat was more fun to drive basically because you could floor it everywhere and when I'd look at the speedometer I'd be going 52 mph! In the Porsche I'd be going 130. I drove it multiple times over a thousand miles in a day. Seats were comfortable, sat radio, and Beats sound system rocked. I sold it and bought an i3. Never had a problem with the Fiat. Inexpensive to maintain and the Fiat dealer was great for service. Fun to drive, utilitarian, and great gas mileage. I wish I still had it. If I had a giant garage, I would have kept it.

I own four TTs, all are 2001s. Bought my first, a 225 Quattro coupe, in 2006. I have since purchased two 180 fwd convertibles and a 180 Quattro coupe. All versions are notorious for instrument cluster issues. All 4 of mine suffered this issue to one degree or another. Another common problem is with the door panels. Where the door panel meets the window the panels lift and roll upward away from the window. Both of my convertible suffered this issue. They often crack as well. This is not the easiest fix. Remember it is an Audi - parts are not cheap.... a new Zenon headlight assembly is $1000. The fwd version being lightest tosses around in traffic easier. The fwd version is more or less a rebodied Golf performance wise. As a result of several high speed crashes the neutral feeling handling was changed to more understeer via a recall and then standardized on future models. However, if you desire to do the mods to get back closer to the 1999 set up... i can actually achieve some oversteer on my 225 after replacing several suspension components. While the increased power of the 225 Quattro makes it sportier to drive than the 180, it is not a race car. Since the 225 version weighs over 3000lbs it needs @ 300hp before it feels alive. Biggest HP gains come from replacing the factory down pipe with a 3" and then replacing factory cat with a high flow version. After upgrading the factory programming with an aftermarket "chip" or "reflash" and an upgraded diverter valve (to handle the boost increase) the car will produce A LOT more heat under the hood. The factory intercooler(2 on 225 version) are too small and the turbo heat soaks them quickly. A large front mount makes a noticeable difference in performance after the second stop light. Replacing the smaller oem radiator with a larger, direct fit, oem mk4 golf radiator adds reliability and helps reduce under hood temps a little. These changes put it closer to 300hp at the flywheel making it more enjoyable to drive. They also reduce the change in performance after a couple runs through the gears. The seat heaters are nice and necessary since the heater itself in the convertibles is not overpowering. Seats are very form fitting and may be uncomfortable for larger waisted individuals. The minimal lumbar support gives me a back ache after about 4hrs. At 6'1" the drivers seat must be slid all the way back for me to have enough leg room. The front seats slide back about 1 inch more in the coupe vs the convertible. Plenty of headroom for me inside but I occasionally bump my head getting in.

Super friendly one of the nicest sales man out there always willing to work with you and always trying to give you the best deal possible. 10/10 would recommend!

My ratings on recent buy are conservative & will have it thoroughly checked out, but runs like a dream, especially for an older car with 13K on it. These cars are heavy, with parts welded to the frame, quiet, and safe. They are also gas sippers with over 30 mpg hwy and mid 20s in town.

Esteban is a really cool and understandable person goes out of his way to make sure your comfortable and happy! I’d recommend this place to anyone!

The car is loaded with every feature to make your drive and ride memorable with luxury and comfort. Always willing to drive or ride .

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE easy to deal with I recommend buying from this dealership... Fai is great and the owner knows about the pros and Cons about the vehicles

Purchased a used 2002 accord V6 ex coupe from a friend (1st owner) with 138,000 kms. Only service he did since ownership was new tires, battery, oil changes. When I bought the car I replaced all 4 brake pads & rotors. Drove it until 150,000 kms, then replaced timing belt & water pump, front engine mount. Couple months after the rear wheel bearings got noisy was replaced. I also received a letter from Honda to recall the Takata airbags, was replaced no charge at the dealership . At 192,000 kms oil pan started to leak a bit of engine oil, & transmission oil hose to engine leaked. Tranny oil and hose replaced. Next oil change I’ll be getting the oil pan gasket replaced. Owned the car for 3 years ( since 2018). A friend sold the car to me for a good deal. Spent over $3,000 CAN in repairs. Overall still a good vehicle after putting 42,000 kms since my ownership. Air conditioning still blows cold with no recharging required. Digital odometer sometimes goes blank on&off 30% of the time but comes back eventually. Factory 16” alloy wheel paint peeling off. Body paint is intact. Engine and transmission is smooth with lots of power even for today’s standard. Regarding fuel economy I get an Average of 24mpg. I’m aware of “transmission issues” on these models thus making sure to replace tranny oil every 40-50 thousand kms with Genuine Honda fluid is important. My recommendation for people interested in buying one is to make a vehicle checklist before hand that way you won’t miss on anything, Or if not mechanically inclined best to bring the vehicle to a shop for inspection prior to purchase.

I always get its so small. I bought this car just to drive to and from work after totaling my Subaru. I pay about 23 bucks for gas in the state of WA. I bought it preowned for 5,000 after taxes 7,400 with 25,000 miles on it. It's pretty good when driving. I won't lie, I'm a speed demon and this little car goes 90 mph. When its windy that's when the driving gets a little crazy. Maintenance for the car cost me about 500 bucks for two new tires and an alignment. The inside of the car is good. I usually use the passenger seat for my dog when we go to the park cause my husband would die if he was seen in it. The downside is I don't have a radio. But you can always install one

Great service. Not sure how everyone else saw it with what they bought, but I got a good deal on a smooth car. Some of the reviews are hard to believe... their entire staff is very friendly. The guy is a salesman, but it's his job. Every car that is used is buyer beware. They keep the cars clean in good condition, and try to work with your situation. I recommend at least taking a look.

I bought a 1997 C230 for $1300. Was told it needed the coil packs replaced. I bought the original OEM parts on eBay along with new spark plugs for right around $40. After replacing the plugs and coils and resetting the codes THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE A DREAM. I still can’t believe I bought this car for $1300 and only put $40 into it. It’s 25 years old and is in mint condition. Not a single dent on it. 195000 miles and it drives like it’s brand new. I feel like I stole this car.

This car met all my needs throughout the time I have owned it, really really reliable car, really good on gas, and just plain out amazing.

Mine has 240K. Burns no oil and no leaks! Has been well maintained i.e. full synthetic lubricants, transmission service intervals maintained etc. Paint has held up remarkably. The fuel injection is so perfect there is no soot in the tale pipe after 19 years.

Only problem is check engine light which is said to be due to gas cap. I ordered new gas cap and will see if resolves problem. Otherwise have 60-day limited warranty from dealer.

i made a 400 mile trip to Los Angeles to buy my first Fiat 500 in 2012 before we could get then here is San Francisco...i didnt know then it would be the start of a long love affair with the cars as i ended up buying at total of 17- proof on file right here next to my desk...its nice to make a 400 mile trip on one 10 gallon tank of gas- especially these days where some of us are seeing six to seven dollar gas in california...i can only think of one issue with one of the 17- a piece weakened in the stick shift linkage on Monday and by Tuesday the Fiat dealer had the part and installed it in an hour while i baby sat the greyhound in the waiting room...last year i bought my first used one- red- for cheap at carmax with really low miles on it...so far the only thing was a jammed cd in the radio- carmax replaced the unit so now i can play my favorite inner city gospel music to local teen who hang out in front of the supermarket after school...i would ask Stellantis/FCA to bring the new fiat 500 they are selling in europe right back here to the US where it is needed and belongs...end of discussion...Bishop Tom- host of the Bishop Tom radio show....

The engine runs quietly. Can choose to use buttons and / or touchscreen for controls. Smooth steering and driving. Luxury materials. Bose speaker system. Great fuel economy.

I drove my parents trailblazer for 2 years covering approx. 300 miles a week going to tech school with 160,000 miles on the vehicle already. I put on about 30,000 miles in total. This vehicle had the original spark plugs and boots in it and started giving me issues at about 186,000 miles. It NEVER stranded me. That on it's own, makes it an amazing vehicle. The only other parts I had to get replaced was a transmission line that rusted out, idle pulley belt, brakes/calipers, and the spark plugs and boots. Highly recommend this beast of a suv.

My husband and I were very pleased with the way Luke took care of us. He showed patience, Empathy, Awareness of the whole situation and Customer Service skills. I understand that Luke started with BMW 1.5 years ago. From what we can tell his skill set is growing. Taking care of your customers are your number 1 priority and you nailed it! Moving forward I will highly recommend you if anyone is looking for a car.

I love my 2012 Kia Soul! I bought this car in October 2014 and I have put about 23 thousand miles on it since then. I live in Maine so keep fluid film underneath every 2 years. So far I have only had to charge the AC, replace the tires and have the front brakes done. On the highway or country roads, I usually get about 35MPG and less in city traffic. It is very comfortable for long distance driving.
