Re: [MBZ] 91 300D Needs to go

Hi Mitch, Yes, it can be driven.  And yes, I drove it home from the shop when the rust was discovered. But I don't know how it would be on the road.  We kept it below 45 on the way home and it was approx. 10 mi.  By the time we got home the bearing was really roaring loudly.  I was worried it

My mother has a Cherokee with touch screen everything, maybe theres a fan control, I don't recall. I hate it.Dad's Renegade is, I think, 2 years newer, the HVAC is all real controls, the GPS, radio, etc is all touch controls, that I can live with, I think the radio has a real volume knob...

Yes, I recall that Larry has had rust issues that make the vehicle difficult and expensive to repair. When I saw Curley's post I was thinking he was referring to Dan's car and I could not recall if it had any issues apart from the AC and lots of miles. Randy On 24/09/2019 4:34 PM, Mitch

I don't like touchscreens, especially if they control the HVAC on them. I don't like having something I can't feel, it requires that I have to take my eyes off the road. The "automatic" transmission in VWs today is in fact a manual transmission with a clutch that you don't get to operate.

Re: [MBZ] 91 300D Needs to go

I cannot recall, so refresh my memory. What is wrong with it apart from the AC not working? If it runs and moves, Curley should just fly down, drive it to his winter quarters and then fly back north to pick up the missus and whatever else remains up there. Randy On 24/09/2019 2:41 PM, Larry

I hear you loud and clear. I had a 2002 F150 Supercrew and I now have a 2013 F150 Supercrew. One sort of expects that each generation should get better as the designers tend to pay more attention to ergonomics than they once did. However, on the 2013, they moved the ignition lock such that I

Re: [MBZ] OT Chevy

Earlier this summer we rented a VW Passat for one day, one way, mostly driving at night. I was not too impressed because of a couple of major design "features". (1) the parking brake is activated by a button near the gear shift, which is difficult to identify and far from intuitive to use.

Chevy, Ford and Chrysler have been making adequate, if not exciting, cars for over a decade now. If your goal was to have a toaster to take you from place to place I'd say one of the big three is the way to go. While they're expensive if you check on a comparably equipped Toyota I think you'll

I just had a 2019 Chevy Impala Premier Addition rental car for several days. It was essentially new with 4200 miles on it. I found it to be a nice vehicle and very easy to drive. Lots of bells and whistles so who knows how it would stand the test of time, but as a new vehicle, really pretty

Re: [MBZ] Could be decent, but still a bit high

Which sounds more reasonable, 0-100kph in 7.0 or 7.8 seconds? 7.8 puts it in the same class as a 2016-2019 Chevy Cruze or US market 5sp 2.3-16. 7.0 would put it close to my mildly tuned 2016 Cruze. (but I bet the 420E can't get 50mpg at 60mph)
