2010-03-07 Thread Ron L'Herault
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.

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?

2010-03-07 Thread gpaul2000

 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!

George P.

Actually it implies that any, and all profits get distributed to the the 
Americans that work hard, pay taxes, and support this great land. When you buy 
Japanese, Korean, German, etc, you help to support their schools, their 
government,and their economy. I'm not going to go one-on-one comparing 
vehicles, i.e. gas mileage, MSRP, storage space, re-sale value, etc. Take a 
look at our economy and you decide what's best; the future of your country, or 
your desire to get the best deal for YOU.

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!!

Actually it implies that any, and all profits get distributed to the the 
Americans that work hard, pay taxes, and support this great land. When you buy 
Japanese, Korean, German, etc, you help to support their schools, their 
government,and their economy. I'm not going to go one-on-one comparing 
vehicles, i.e. gas mileage, MSRP, storage space, re-sale value, etc. Take a 
look at our economy and you decide what's best; the future of your country, or 
your desire to get the best deal for YOU.

 Dang, I was hoping the Honda Fit would be big enough for a common upright
 Victrola.   It fills all my other criteria.    What about the Kia Soul? and
 doesn't Hyundai have a hatchback?

 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.   Thanks!

This would also include boycotting Walmart, killer of the independent  
American small business, pervasive employee abuser, and 10th-largest  
trading partner of China (including nations).


Buy American only goes so far, and in the above case, it's likely too  
late - walmart has obliterated the mom and pop shops pretty much  
everywhere.

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.
