    Do you think the Subaru Tribecha is better than the Mazda CX-9?

    I think that a Subaru Legacy Wagon is better than both of them. Sorry, but neither the Triebca nor the CX-9 can truly go off road. They can handle going on dirt roads, but even my little Ford Ka can do that. SUV's are really just jacked up wagons which are sold to pretentious people, who are...

    What size motor, or how can I find out what size motor is in a 2003 ford focus

    Ford install a number of various engines in the Focus. The obvious method would be to look at the registration papers. I'm assuming that you are in North America, in which case, the most usual engine choices are the 2.0L and 2.3L in-line four cylinder engines.

    A new 2014 Ford Torino?

    That looks like a bloated pile of kaka. Muscle cars should look like the have the capability of ripping your head off like the Falcon Cobra: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/97/Ford_Cobra_no.66.jpg Your picture looks like a 'stang has been at McD's far too often, and is now...

    What is the worst car that you have ever driven?

    1998 ford E250 V8 ENGINE MISFIRE FROM THE 8TH SPARk PLUG CLYINDER?

    If it's a misfire, then check the plug leads or the gap in the spark plug. It shouldn't be difficult to replace the spark plugs anyway, and in a 12 year old car they may need to be done anyway.

    What is the best starter bike for a beginner?

    The current Kawasaki Ninja 250R retails for $4299, and as far as I'm concerned there is no other choice. The 250R feels balanced, it turns well, it accelerates well and stops well. Generally it is a good, sensible and all-round entirely practical bike. The thing is that the 250R doesn't have...

    what platform was the 1961-1963 ford thunderbird built on?

    The answer to this is perhaps quite surprising, and that the platform is still in use. The Thunderbird 3rd Gen from 1961-1963, shares the platform with the Ford Falcon (and by inference the Mercury Comet). The platform although slightly modified to take an independent rear end is still used by...

    Which will be funner to drive, 2011 US Mazda 2 or 2011 US Ford Fiesta?

    Because we have already had both of them in Australia now for at least 12 months, we can answer this. The Mazda 2 and the Ford Fiesta both share the same floorpan, so from this perspective they both give you the same sorts of feedback through the seat, and they also both communicate well...
