I always saw rusted out cars as a sign of neglect, but considering rust proofing has come along way one would expect these Japanese cars to fair better than 30 year old Benz's. The Japanese have taken lessons from us about rust proofing. David Brodbeck [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Harry wrote

I have to admit I would certainly love to get my hands on a Honda S2000 as a replacemnt for my Mustang Cobra that I sadly had to sell. The sound of a screaming engine at 8,000 rpms just boils my blood. Its too bad that a lot of the Honda, Toyotas and even the others like Kia are starting to

Re: [MBZ] 1977 450SEL

Most of those older Benz's do not require any type of high octane fuel. Higher octane gas which is mostly required in LEV's or Low Emission Vehicles. Higher octane say 91 or higher does not burn faster than say 87 or 89 it burns slower which results in a cleaner burn. Almost all of the pre 90's

Re: [MBZ] clones?

Reliability aside, Honda's and Toyotas may still be the benchmark but speaking for owners I know I'm told the only good thing with them now is the drivetrains. Hyundai's and Kia's might be decent cars but not according to their crash tests. Makes me wonder why they have such long warranties.
