[Phono-L] Vehicle?
I am on the verge of getting a new vehicle thought I'd ask the advice of Phono-L members since, like myself, you all have need to haul antique phonographs. I'd like to have cargo capacity to transport the typical Victrola (XVI), the typical Edison Diamond Disc Phonograph (C-250) as well the Orthophonic Credenza - when I need to haul an Orthophonic changer or a Capehart, I'll continue to use my 1969 GMC pickup. I want a smaller, more economical 4 cylinder vehicle have looked at Hondas (all of which have too small a cargo area except the Element which I consider unattractive) Toyotas (Scion, Metric, RAV 4 Venza,all of which will accommodate the above mentioned machines) am leaning towards the RAV4 but thought it might be nice to get your input before making a final decision.

Re: [Phono-L] Vehicle?
I'm rather short, at 5.25 and rarely find an American vehicle that I can get a comfortable driving position in and still both reach the pedals and see over the hood while not being too close to the wheel. They are usually softer sprung and don't get the mileage I'm used to getting. For the first 10 years or so of my driving life, I drove nothing but Triumphs (I still own a TR-6) and like the feel off the road, responsive steering and quick cornering the Japanese cars deliver. I still drive a stick so even these small cars (my current daily driver is a 1999 Kia Sephia 5 speed with 130K on it) are pretty peppy.

Re: [Phono-L] Vehicle?
Peter, I had that same dilemma a couple of years ago.When my Ford Taurus wagon died, I was looking for either another wagon, a minivan or a small SUV. I ended up getting a 3006 SuzukiForenza wagon. It may be small, but I can haul a VVVXI, or a VV Credenza, or an Edison C-250. It gets great mileage, 30mpg in town and 37mpg on the highway. It rides very smooth and has a big car feel.

Re: [Phono-L] Vehicle?
Jim, This is only my personal experience - - which may be counter to everyone else's. We had a 2002 Toyota Rav 4 which we liked very much until last summer when the transmission self-destructed at 120,000 miles. (I'm a stickler for maintenance - - our other vehicle is a Chevy Astro van with 244,000 miles on it and continues to deliver daily dependability.) Our Rav 4 received regular maintenance including tranny flushes every 30,000 miles, and I had the service records. But it turned out that Toyota was having software problems and the computer was sending bad signals to the transmission which caused it to shift at inappropriate times and resulted in its destruction. The Toyota dealer who evaluated the problem said that they've been seeing this problem a lot in Rav 4s, and had received several Dealer Alerts from Toyota on the subject. The guy knew what the problem was on the phone even before I brought in the vehicle! Bottom line: despite this being a manufacturer's defect, Toyota did not stand behind the product since it was off warranty. The only o ption they offered us was to replace the entire transmission for $4500.00. We dumped the Rav 4 that week and bought a new Subaru Forester (which has loads of cargo capacity). So far so good with the Forester - - it's superb in the snow and gets 29-30 mpg on the highway. Anyhow, although we've had 2 Toyotas in the past, I don't see us ever buying another simply because of the dependability issue we (and reportedly many others) experienced. Had the company stood behind the problem, I'd feel differently. As long as you're driving a 1969 GMC pickup, it's suggestive that you're not wed to driving a new vehicle. I'd recommend finding a good used Chevy Astro van (they're no longer being manufactured). The 4.3 V-6 is a fabulous motor, and the transmissions are virtually bulletproof (ours is the original). More than adequate cargo room, and all dry, cozy, and heated/air conditioned. I've owned two since 1988 and loved them both. When my present one dies, I'll follow my own advice and look for another one. Whatever you decide, good luck!

Re: [Phono-L] Vehicle?
The American factory worker working for a foreign automaker with an American plant gets paid a good American labor wage, benefits package, local tax revenues are collected, state and Federal revenues are collected..business taxes, licensing taxes...I'd say we get a pretty fair shake out of it. Plus why should I buy a crappy American car that I am pouring money into? My last two American cars were Oldsmobile and Chevy, buth of which had problems. The Chevy was never able to be satisfactorily fixed so I bought the Olds. The dashboard skin on the Olds separated from the substrate and wrinkled up. Ugly. The dealership wouldn't do anything, and I wrote to GM corporaion several times and finally they said (literally) my warranty wouldn't cover a new dash and that if I wrote them about it again, they would not respond. The dealership told me they had seen this problem before on other Olds Aleros. And they said the same thing, GM refused to fix the problem. These were NEW cars. That's why I won't buy American again, i can't trust them. Chet me once, shame on me. Cheat me twice, shame on you. Oh and then there was the new Ford whose tranny went out at 60,000 miles. Bad juju. And I promise no more car ranting from me! Sorry guys!! John --- On Sun, 3/7/10, Joe Filer filerph...@bellsouth.net wrote: From: Joe Filer filerph...@bellsouth.net Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Vehicle?

I am on the verge of getting a new vehicle thought I'd ask the advice of Phono-L members since, like myself, you all have need to haul antique phonographs. I'd like to have cargo capacity to transport the typical Victrola (XVI), the typical Edison Diamond Disc Phonograph (C-250) as well the Orthophonic Credenza - when I need to haul an Orthophonic changer or a Capehart, I'll continue to use my 1969 GMC pickup. I want a smaller, more economical 4 cylinder vehicle have looked at Hondas (all of which have too small a cargo area except the Element which I consider unattractive) Toyotas (Scion, Metric, RAV 4 Venza,all of which will accommodate the above mentioned machines) am leaning towards the RAV4 but thought it might be nice to get your input before making a final decision.

Re: [Phono-L] Vehicle?
nice, but more expensive than I can handle and it does not get great mileage. I'm not happy when I only get 28 to the gallon instead of 30. I wish I could afford a hybrid.
