Which one is the better motorcycle in your opinion and why? I am looking to buy one next Spring and wanted to know the pros & cons of owning each one. I'm not a beginner. I've been riding for many years and have 2 other motorcycles.

First off, I am 40 years old. I don't plan on racing my car around, lowering it, or any of that stuff. I am just looking for a RELIABLE commuter that isn't so bland. I have looked at ALL of the other makes and decided on one of these two cars. Just wondering if the extra 2-3k for the Honda would...

I'm thinking about buying a 4th generation Toyota 4Runner. My budget is around 16k. When looking on cars.com etc... I am finding that most of the ones I find have 100,000k miles plus. I know that these trucks run for ever when taken care of, but would I be expecting a bunch of maintenance costs...

I am thinking about buying a used 2004 Toyota Tacoma crew cab pickup truck. I live in an area where it can snow a lot. Do I really need the 4wd version, or does the PreRunner 2wd get by alright with the high ground clearance. I used to own a 1987 Nissan 2wd truck that would do somewhat ok with 4...

First off, I don't want a Civic or a Corolla. I know the Scion engine is the same one they put in a Camry, so I'm pretty sure it is reliable. On the other side of the stick, I know nothing about the Chevy Cruze's engine. I don't have to have 4 doors either. Which one should I get & why? Thanks!

I am trying to decide between a Toyota Tacoma 4WD crew cab and an FJ Cruiser. Which one will give me more bang for my buck?

I am trying to decide between the two. I will ask the same question to the Xterra lovers.

Which one is better & why? Either vehicle will be used as an everyday commuter. I just want to know which one will most likely be more reliable in the next 10 or so years.

I am considering buying a 2011 Jeep Patriot, and I would love to hear any opinions on the vehicle. I am also considering the Honda Element. Basically I am looking for an AWD/4WD utilitarian vehicle that is good in snow.

I have been looking for a utilitarian vehicle for a while now and hadn't even considered the Jeep Patriot until now. I sat in one and it felt great. I didn't drive it because I didn't feel like getting involved with the salesman quite yet. Any input on reliability of past Patriot models would be...

I am interested in buying a Honda Pilot and can't seem to find any information on what year and models offered an Mp3/iPod input. Also, if they offered it, which trim levels was it offered in? Thanks! I have had 2 FM transmitters and the both suck. Sorry.

I was considering buying one of these vehicles used. I live in a snowy area and want the 4WD. I just wanted to know if there is a difference between the 4WD systems in each of these vehicles? If so, which one is better or more reliable than the other? Also, does the PIlot have a timing belt that...

I have a 1984 Chevy van G20. 5.0 Liter 305 V8. What size do I need? Who makes a quality radiator in the size I need? Any links would be great. Thanks!
