Q: How fast is the 2011 ford mustang shelby gt500 svt without a speed limiter?
I know its limited to 155mph,but how fast does it really go? i mean top speed without any limiters? and does it really have 550 horses? i heard it has 450,is that true? i need some expert answers.Thanks.

A: At least 180 MPH, but less than 200 MPH.

Guesstimate given the car’s aerodynamic properties vs. how much power it takes to overcome the wind resistance at X speed, whilst also factoring in the HP peak of the car vs. the gearing of the car.

The GT500 has every bit of 550 HP.

Q: Does anyone know the top speed of 2011 Ford Mustang GT?
I heard the speed is limited like German cars and it is limited to 150 mph. Is this true? That really sucks if it’s true.

A: The top speed is electonically limited to 155 mph. I’m sure they already have special flash tunes that will boost that to 200 mph, but that only means you can die faster. LOL

Q: Can the 2011 Ford Mustang get up to 160mph?
Becasue the Odometer goes up to it. Even 8000 rpm? Can I get to that safley?

A: You mean the speedometer? I doubt it. The speedometer on my friend’s minivan goes to 140, but do you think it goes that fast? Mustang’s a sweet ride though

Q: Can the Ford Mustang 2011 GT deal with light to medium snow?
I’m getting my first car soon and would like to know weather or not a mustang can handle light to medium snow?

A: Not with the stock summer tires! You should buy a set of snow tires for winter driving. Most tire pros will recommend a slightly narrower than stock tire for snow tires in order to get better bite in the snow. You’ll need new wheels for the tires if you downsize, and a set of plain steel wheels will suffice and cost a lot less than custom wheels.

Honestly, a Mustang GT is a poor choice for a first car. Insurance will eat you alive if you are a male under 25 years old. Handling a high powered car on slippery roads even with good snow tires is asking for trouble for an experienced driver and a disaster for an inexperienced one.

Q: which is better (faster) and stronger? 2011 Ford Mustang GT or 2010 BMW 335i base?
the 2011 mustang gt has like 420hp and the 335i only has 300hp. so doesn’t it make sense that the gt would own the 335i? but then how come the 335i costs like twice the price of the ford mustang 2011 gt?
or am i wrong?

A: bro you have to be kitting me the new 2011 mustang is so close of taking a M3 for a race just check de numbers M3 414 hp 14 12.6 the mustang 412 hp 14 12.7 plus the new mustang is a whole new car now has more power,better handling,six speed auto or manual,better brakes,new upgrade interior trims, even the V6 now is a bad boy and you can get the gts suspension & brakes in the V6 if you want this new mustang are ready to let the past behind about they are good for for drag the new gts can outhandle the 10′ shelbys at the road track and better wachout be cause the new 11′ shelbys get more power & suspension i think! .

Q: looking for information on turbocharger for 2011 ford mustang 3.7 v6?
looking for any info i can get for turbochargers for the new 3.7 V6 if there are any available yet.

A: Those most likely going to take a while as they need to fabricate some headers for a turbo. ProCharger has a bolt on supercharger kit for the new 3.7L V6 mustang that is releasing for sale very soon. These kits are much easier to put on and safer to run than a turbocharger. Stay tuned to the site below for exact release dates and reviews.

Q: which car is better 2011 ford mustang v6 convertible or 2011 ford shelby gt500 convertible?

A: Better at what? Both cars are built on the same platform, using many of the same parts, in the same factory. So the quality is going to be very similar.

One is going to be more powerful. The other is going to be more fuel efficient. One is going to cost significantly more money than the other.

In the quarter mile the Shelby is going to blow the doors off of the V6, Advantage Shelby

However if you race them for 29 miles with only 1 gallon of fuel in the tank the V6 will blow the doors off of the Shelby because you will need to get out and push the Shelby for the last 6 miles. Advantage Base model V6.

The Shelby would suck if your budget allows for only a $28,000 car because the Shelby costs nearly twice as much as the V6. The base model V6 convertible costs about $27,000 while the Shelby convertible costs about $53,650. Keep in mind that insurance will be about double on the Shelby also.

Both cars do a good job of getting you from point A to Point B. The base model V6 has 305 HP which is more than adequate. More than enough power to get you speeding tickets and fast enough to get you put in jail.

I suggest you make a trip to your local Ford dealer. Look at both cars side by side. Take them out for a test drive. Then pick the one that best suits your budget and needs.

Q: Which car should I get? The 2011 Subaru WRX or 2011 Ford Mustang V6?
I am planning on getting a new car in a few weeks and I am stuck between the 2011 Subaru WRX which is about $26,000 and the 2011 Ford Mustang V6 which is about $23,000. The WRX gets its power from a turbocharged 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine with 265 horsepower and 244 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a five-speed manual transmission and an all-wheel drive system, the combination returns 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway also it has 4 doors. While The 2011 Ford Mustang V6 is almost as powerful as last years GT and has a new aluminum 3.7 liter Duratec 24-valve V6 pumps out a healthy 305 horsepower and a respectable 280 ft-lbs of torque mated to a six speed manual transmission while getting 19 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. They both have 0-60 times of about 5 seconds or less. I just would like to know which is a better more reliable choice since I’ve read the Wrx isn’t reliable but I would like to know why? What problems do the WRX’S have? I will use the car as a daily driver here in Chicago. Which car would handle better and be more reliable? Please be detailed.

A: i would get the Ford. first of all its a mustang soooo… yeah awesome. The Ford will probably be more reliable and IF something does happen the parts and repair will generally be cheaper because its American made. While the Subaru is considered and import also its a compact so there are a lot of mechanics that dont really like working on them depending on what part of the US you live in. They just dont like them bc theres not much room in the engine area so it makes it hard to do even simple things like changing a belt drive. As for handling and such there shouldn’t be much of a difference until it starts snowing then bc the Mustang is rear wheel drive it can get away from you so just take it easy. not to mention if you were to put pipes on the car the mustang will sound like a beast rather than a hive of bees attacking.

Q: what car is better in all its features a 2010 ford flex or a 2011 ford mustang v6 or a 2010 sedan lancer es?

A: You also should compare car insurance quotes for cars before buying one, for example here – carquotes.fateback.com

Q: how many mpg does a 2011 ford mustang get?
V6 and V8

A: The V6 is 31 mpg highway, 19 city.
The V8 is 26 and 17.

Q: What Color Is Best For 2011 Ford Mustang GT?
best answer = free cookiez!!!

A: There are a lot of great color combinations available. You can download the brochure from Ford.com
Some are classic colors, some legendary colors

Personally, I think the Grabber Blue is very “Smurf”
(and not in a good way) But I saw one with Black over-the-top stripes, and it looked pretty good.

The Red Candy (may be an extra charge color) is Beautiful. The metallic layers give it great depth.

But if it was for me, I would go very classy… Black with Satin Black stripes. There’s just a hint of contrast and the stripes look almost like a shadow. Very Classy!

Q: Is the Ford Mustang 2000-2011 rear wheel drive,front wheel drive, or all wheel drive?

A: rear wheel

Q: Ford Mustang 2011 Break Pedal making noise ?
i posted this video so u can hear the noise

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idNvnhyhb1I

when i let go of pedal, it makes that pop noise

HELP

A: that sounds like a sticking switch….take it to the dealer so they can lube it or replace it…..the cost of that car should not come with any issues as small as that

Q: I want to buy a ford mustang 2005 – 2011 that’s under $5,000?
So if anyone can give some links to where I can get one for under $5,000 dollars in the Chicago area, please help. It’s for my brother, he wants one really badly and his birthday is coming up? And if it’s not possible, than something under $7,000 or even 10,000. Thanks?

A: You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here – carinsurance.deep-ice.com

Q: Which size turbo would be best for my V8 5.0 Ford Mustang?
I’m planning to install a twin turbo in my engine. Which sizes should I go with so i get the most out of it yet don’t choke the engine?
Ford Mustang 2011 V8 5.0
6-speed Manual Transmission

A: GranatelliMotorsports.com carries the new ford mustang parts for now…yes there are some other companys and web sites that do carry some stuff, but for now there isn’t any dual turbo kits to fit the 2011 Mustang, there are however a couple of bolt-on superchargers like the Paxton Novi 2200, and the edelbrock E force that are compatable for your ride…

Q: What do you think about the 2011 Kia Optima?
Im thinking about getting one, and do you think it would do good in snow with some good snow tires on it.
I was thinking about keeping my 2001 Subaru Legacy. For the winter months, and its really cheap to insure too.
WV coal miner making 70000 a year. So yes i can afford it.

A: this car is not on the off road drivers top 10 and would likely not be too good in the snow. It is a fine looking car though and for the money likely a good value in general. an all wheel drive model of a car would be best for the snow driving

Q: Which car is better in snow? 2011 Kia Optima or Hyundai Elantra?
Im in the market to buy a new car. What drives better in the snow? 2011 Kia Optima or 2011 Hyundi Elantra

A: You also should compare car insurance quotes for cars before buying one, for example here – carquotes.sinfree.net

Q: which is better and why. 2011 kia optima or 2011 nissan altima?
the optima costs less than altima and has 100,000 mile warranty. however altima is more popular and sells more. which one is better? well equipped models for both can be purchased for around 25K. optima is about 2K to 3K less in price

A: Actually the raw numbers alone shows Optima as the better car.

Optima – Base engine 200 HP, 34 MPG
Turbo 2.0L 275 HP, 33MPG

Altima – Base engine 175 HP, 32 MPG
V6 engine 270 HP, 27 MPG

The Optima is also has more interior room. For a piece of “crap” it kinda kicks the Altima’s a$$.
The Altima is decent car but it’s pretty middle of the pack right now.

If resell is important I know the Sonata has one of the best resell values in the class right now. You may want to look at the Sonata as well. Both are mechanically the same, but the Sonata is tuned more comfort while the Optima is more sporty.

Q: 2011 kia optima vs 2011 suzuki kizashi?
im looking at getting either the 2011 kia optima or the 2011 suzuki kizashi. and i dont know which one to choose… i like them both a lot, the way they drive and the way they look. so which do you guys think is the best choice? i already checked insurance and such, and their both good. please dont comment saying their both unreliable junk etc, i just want a good comparison and preference of the two. thanks so much!!

A: Good grief neither, both are garbage.
.

Q: 2011 hyundai sonata or 2011 kia optima?
they both nice..which one can i get the salesman to come down in price the most? Is this a good car..kia is hyundai isn’t it?

A: KIA is not a Hyundai but KIA is owned bu Hyundai. While I have not shoped for the Optima, I have considered looking at one, I think they are a good looking car. Don’t really believe you would go wrong on either one.

Q: 2007 Bmw 328i $18,500 or 2011 Kia Optima $21,000?
I have been saving money, and ready to buy a new car, I love the design of new Optima, but the performance of the bimmer attracts me too.

A: How many miles on the BMW?
Assuming around 50K miles on the BMW, I’d pick the Kia because the overall cost to maintain will be much less expensive and you get a great warranty.
Your insurance will likely be cheaper, as well.

The BMW factory warranty is, or soon will be, over, and that is when things start getting expensive.

Q: my niece wants to buy a Kia Optima 2011 and she says it has a Honda powertrain,i don’t think that is possible?

A: Kia may have a Hyundai powertrain, bot not a Honda powertrain. Kia is Korean, Honda is Japanese.

Q: how is 2011 kia optima for 25000?
leather seats, 200 horsepower, automatic transmission. 45.5 inch leg room (one of the largest out of all cars) and 100,000 mile warranty. is that a good deal?
what are you talking about? have you seen the pictures of the 2011 kia optima interior and exterior? its a cool car.

http://www.kia.com/#/optima/explore/360-views-and-colors-interior/

http://www.kia.com/#/optima/explore/exterior/

A: And yet…you can buy the same thing made in the US for around 18k…it’s called a hyundai sonata.

Q: I’m Planning to buy Kia Optima 2011 $18000 Do you think it is good car for that price? Pls tel me your Idea.?
And if you can suggest me better car with that range would appriciate

A: Consumer Reports recommends the Optima

Q: Should I get a kia forte koup or 2011 optima?
I’m looking to buy a new car in the coming months, and I’ve narrowed my possibility to these two kia models. The Optima (2011, mind you) LX Automatic trim costs roughly the same as the Forte Koup SX, while the Optima has better safety ratings, making the insurance rates lower. I really like the styling on both, but i like the forte koup’s slightly better. I don’t necessarily need four doors, so that is not a factor for me. I’m just looking for quality of the cars and features. Which one of these fine cars do you think I should get?

A: I was really impressed with the write up of Optima in Motor trend.
I think its a great car.
MT was critical of the ‘artificial feel’ of the steering – but I think only an expert can tell the difference.
I have the same components in a Hyundai Tucson and am happy with that.

Q: Is their a Kia dealership in Alabama?
I live in Birminngham and I am not fond of the Kia dealer here, they have shady tactics. I do love the 2011 Kia Optima though, so I would love to find a Kia dealership near Birmingham, AL.

A: There is… I actually had the same problem. Try The Kia Store Anniston It is in Anniston – Oxford just north east of Birmingham, AL. You can look on their website to see if they have the car you want first before you make the trek there. www.mykiastore.com. Good luck!

Q: Need car buying advice & options. 250+ HP comfortable and quick. 2011 optima SX?
I’ve asked this question but didn’t get to extend it.
I currently own a 2003 Mercedes Benz, but don’t want to deal with constant repairs. Especially out of pocket. It has 100k miles. I like the way it rides (steering, pedals, seat height) but its acceleration at times leaves more to be desired. I was unable to restore the interior through regular detailing and vacuuming and such since I purchased it used at 45k miles.

Right know I’m looking at the Kia optima 2011 SX, 275HP, with the premium package since I really would like the same type of roof I have with the benz. I don’t like to be w/o sun/moon roof. It doesn’t have to open.

I would not like to pay over $350 per month and have about $12K to put down w/ no trade-in. Are there any other choices I should consider? I would like the car to be in a New condition w/ no more than 25k miles, easy/smooth steering and be quick.

Must haves: Leather (not hard)
HID/Xenon (the ones that turns when you turn is a plus)
Automatic headlamps (if its on 24/7 is cool too, as long as when the car is off it goes off)
Audio upgrade-ability (Mercedes was awful in this department) I’d like to put my own navigation, amps, speakers.
Audio upgrade-ability ( Ability to change alternator and batteries if necessary )
Warranty for at least 4 years. I don’t know how many miles I’ll drive but I think it will be less than 8k/yr
Auto windows up/down (or hackable, I can mess with circuits and some 12v stuff)
Nice to have:
Cold/Hot weather package
Folding rear for more trunk.
good turning radius ( I don’t know the technical turn but to make the tightest turn possible. I like to stay in my lane when I turn, especially for U-turns)
Aesthetically pleasing, I know this is subjective. But I prefer curves over triangles. The whole honda/acura design I don’t like. I like G37, nissan maxima, bmw3 ( 2 door version) , mercedes CL, CLS, Just to have an idea of my design taste.

I have trouble expressing ideas. So if the question isn’t understood is what cars should I consider and how they fair vs the kia SX in whatever ways you would like to compare them. Value**, features, performance, tech, etc..

I am unsatisfied with the prior responses:
Answerer 1
Now you might be looking for something newer but consider a 97-2001 audi S4. It has 250 hp from its bi turbo v6 and has AWD. It comes loaded with just about all the features you mentioned ( leather, xenon, folding rear, cold/hot weather pack, auto windows. You can get one for $5,000-$15,000 in good condition.

Answerer 2
Consider a Subaru WRX. For under $30k you have a car with moon-roof, 265 hp, AWD and a 0-60 time of 5.2 sec. This car will beat any BMW, Audi, Mercedes, or Volkswagen in that price range guaranteed. Subaru’s are also one of the easiest cars to upgrade and they come in hatchback or sedan versions.
Source(s):
I own one

The first one is a car older than the one I currently own, also german and don’t have time to search for lower part prices. I forgot to mention I don’t have any income since I’m a student and don’t want/need unexpected expenses. If I can make my care brand new again inside and out I’d keep it , but the poor thing has 100k miles, and the inside well at 45k till now I couldn’t restore so that’s out of the question. Besides old leather != new leather.

The second response is better, but I really don’t like hatchbacks and I NEED an AUTOmatic transmission. I’m also not really feeling the styling on the WRX. I’m not into racing nor upgrading the car for that purpose. I’d like quickness for overtaking in highways where you have to accelerate quickly to get out of a jam, and in the streets to get up to the limit quickly.

Don’t know if I mentioned it before but I also like the exterior styling of the 335i coupe, not sedan, and the A4 3.2 (Though I can’t find any for less than 30K)

I’d also like good resale value which is very poor on kias. Sometimes they have 4k cashback which can help in that department. I’m sorry if this question seems long and specific, but this is a big commitment to me and really can’t afford to get out of it as easy if I had a cash flow.

A: Kia resale has improved quite a bit over the last couple of years.

I doubt your going to get any serious cash back offers on the new Optima. With the current pricing and the stellar reviews its getting and given that its on the same platform as the 2011 Hyundai Sonata which has been very popular since it came out, I suspect Kia will not have any problem moving the Optima.

As to the turbo, I haven’t seen anything definitive on when the Optima turbos will reach dealers.

If you like flowing vs angular styling you should look at the Sonata. Its the same platform as the Kia and their turbos are already on the dealer lots so you can get an idea of the performance. I would expect Hyundai would hold value a little better than Kia as well. Hyundai had 24% growth in sales last year. A huge chunk of that was the Sonata.

Q: What 2011 model car would you choose?!?!?
Kia optima 2011
Scion tc 2011
Ford focus 2011
Ford fusion 2011

A: In a nutshell

Kia optima 2011- One of the best values in the class. Impressive design, good fuel economy

Scion tc 2011- ok. Not great; not bad

Ford focus 2011- Decent car but the 2012 Focus will be much better. You may want to wait for it.

Ford fusion 2011- One of the best in class. Design is aging however.

Q: What kind of car should I get? (more details inside)?
Right now, I drive a sporty, 2-door car, but I am expecting a baby so I need to upgrade.

Here is what I want: 4 doors, safe, mid-size, decent gas mileage, black, less than $20k

A few I like are: 2011 sonata, kia optima, vw jetta

Suggestions or opinions? Thank you!

A: I drove the Optima and Sonata. I’ve been in the new Jetta but didn’t drive it.
Right now the best value is the Sonata because, since it’s been out for a little while, you can get a mid level (SE) lightly used Sonata for about $20,000. It will be a nicer than a base Optima and MUCH nicer than the Jetta. The new Sonata’s resell is one of the best in the class now.
I do like the Optima better because it has one of the better interiors in the class and it’s more of a drivers car. Even with it being mechanical the same as the Sonata; Kia tweaked the suspension a little to be a little more sporty. You can get last years Optima, which is a decent car, for much less than $20,000 but it won’t be as nice at the new Optima.
The Sonata is a nice ride too but more sedate feeling.
I climbed into the Jetta recently and VW really cheapened the interior. So much so I didn’t even want to test drive it. Reviews said the ride was solid and sporty but the interior is one of the plainest I ever been in. At only 115 HP it’s way behind most of the cars in the class.
Now that I think about it, it’s behind most of the cars on the road.

Q: Blake Griffin over KIA optima, are you impressed?
Griffin won nba 2011 slam dunk contest, was it look impressive?
here’s the replay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnXHiSQ-rGk

A: I’m never impressed with commercials, which is all that stupid thing was. Besides, he only jumped over the hood. Let him jump over the passenger section, then I might be impressed.

Or let him jump from the front of the car to the back of the car…now THAT would be impressive.

But that whole thing was nothing more than a commercial for Kia, not for Blake Griffin.

He’s a beast, though.

Q: Volvo XC60 – Scratches on the headlights..?
Hi, I’ve accidentally hit a fence and incurred scratches on my Volvo XC60’s left headlights. The mechanic that I approached told me it will take 2 and a half days to fix it. Is it usually that long?
I am based in Singapore. Anyone has recommendation where to find a good workshop for this?

A: Yes, if there’s any painting involved…
No, if all that is needed is to replace the headlight assembly, or polish the cover..
Always check 2-3 places, and compare stories. You can usually figure out who is telling you the truth.

Q: What modifications you would make to a VolksWagen Tiguan 2010?
Im really new to this to modificating cars etc.
But I really want to make it better. I just love my baby. Thats why I decided to invest my earnings on it.
However, I still have some cash, around 1,500 USD, at least it really worths it, im paying more.

I just bought a dvd to replace it with the actual cd player which include rear view camera, gps, etc…

Its really dissapointing to see that I bought a tiguan without electronic chairs, so I have to actually move it, takes a lot to adjust it, its really annoying, but Im not sure if investing in that, since almost noone notice that.

I have an almost grey tiguan, if you want to suggest anything outside.

So please leave the modifications you would make, and a bit for explanation if you can, since im new on this.

Q: What do you think of the Volkswagen Tiguan as a first car? Or my dad’s 2006 Audi A6 4.2?
It’s fully loaded and $36,000 (VW). My dad will pay for it. He also might give me his old Audi, which looks and drives as if new. It’s a really nice car. It is really high quality. The Tiguan has more space, and the driving position is higher. When loaded, it’s also pretty nice…

Don’t say I’m spoiled, I hate that. I just want your answer.
And “Sex is Good”….I’m sorry you had to pay for your shittyass ‘97 Chevy, but some people have parents who say yes because I told them to. So don’t complain to me about your unlucky vehicular situation.

Q: Volkswagen CC or Tiguan?
Hey guys I’m having a really hard time trying to decide what type of volkswagen I should get…

Both cars are fantastic! But I have minimal problems with them and I cant seem to decide which car will be better for me…

The CC has a great look and great trunk space but the problem is is that there are only 4 seats in it! Is having only 4 seats going to be a problem for a college student? haha just wondering…

The Tiguan has 5 seats (which is fantastic) and a great sunroof but the trunk space is not so great (and it is not as cool looking as the cc! )

If you were a college student, which car would you choose? Which is more important to you… more seats or more trunk space?

Which car do you think is better?

A: Only idiots buy a vw without a warranty. You’re not an idiot are you? You just see a shiny object with nice lines and assume it must be well built. CC is a gussied up Passat…and the passat is a pile of garbage. Tiguan doesn’t have enough power for the weight (disregarding the vw typical paper mache transmissions on both models).

I’m just saying…all of the guys I knew with vws desribe said cars as a “p.o.s. (insert car name)”…then there are the people who buy one, it falls apart, then they say “oh well time to buy another one”. VW builds these cars to be disposed of at 50-75k miles…that ain’t good.

Q: Which engine on the Tiguan gives you the best gas Mileage?
On the new Tiguan by Volkswagen which engine gives you the best mileage? When does the Tiguan come out? I really want. I like all the safely features.

A: when it is first released only the gas turbo will be available, so you won’t have a choice. once the diesel comes with it, it won’t be close. the diesel gets almost 60% better than the gas and still hauls similarly.

Q: http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/#/new/tiguan/?
would this vw be good for a family of 4?
also, how reliable are vws?

thsks!

A: for a family of 4 that car might be a little cramped. just depends on the age of your children. however the tiguan did get good reviews as far as safety. i read an article the other day where it was ranked #1 in its class for roll overs (that is to say it was the safest). if you find the tiguan a little small, try a touareg if you want an suv. otherwise i would recommend the new beautiful cc. as far as reliability goes, volkswagen is constantly increasing its quality. so whichever vw you choose, you’ll be choosing a car that’s safe, reliable and one that’s fun to drive.

Q: What do you think of Volkswagen cars?
I’m about to buy a car and when I was on the Volkswagen site, I liked the Tiguan or Eos. I need a car that would last long, safe, basically, least hassle. so what do you think?

A: Cars will last as long, and as safely, as you keep up with the maintenance.

Regardless of make, brand, model, etc.

VWs are fun cars, but don’t look to shop for one car over another, based on “how long it will last” since that’s solely dependent on you.

Q: which car should my family get? Tiguan or CR-V? pictures included!!!!?
we have 2 options below we need to choose from. my mom wants the Tiguan, and my brother want the CRV. which one do u think? if any of u own a tiguan or crv, plz tell me if u like it and if u recomend it. keep in mind this is for a family with a 14 yr old girl and an 11 yr old boy, thx!

this is the Tiguan: http://www.diariomotor.com/imagenes/volkswagen-tiguan-imgcomp-1.jpg

http://blog.vehiclevoice.com/VW_08_Tiguan_bl_2.jpg

and this is the CR-V: http://www.casanovacars.com/2007/03/15/Honda%20CR-V%20Aero%20Pack%201.jpg

http://freakcars.blogspot.com/2008/07/honda-crv-pictures-photos.html

tell me which one u like better, i no they seem similar, but they’re different

A: tiguan if you want a better but more expensive driving experience. (better power but less mpg and more expensive repairs)

or the CR-V if you want the least driving cost, very underpowered but good gas mileage and cheap repairs

Q: Tiguan vs. Rogue vs. 4runner?
I’ve been driving a car for about 4 years, and am thinking of transitioning over to a Crossover/small suv. I’ve looked at the Volkswagen Tiguan, the Nissan Rogue and the Toyota 4Runner. The Rogue is more in my price range, but I’m still not sure.

Would anyone like to share experiences with the above vehicles?
I’m going for test drives within the week, because I want something that handles like a car because I’ve never driven anything bigger than a Grand Am for any length of time.

Gas mileage is a must since I commute an hour to work, but safety ratings are also very important as well as dependability.

Please share your thoughts/knowledge with me. Thanks.

A: the first two (TIGUAN and ROGUE) are good comparison. the 4RUNNER is huge, is not a crossover or small.

Out of the two i’d go for the NISSAN, not as expensive as the VW.

Q: Why are there less Volkswagen models available in US than other countries?
They currently only sell 10 models in US (Jetta, Passat, New Beetle, Rabbit, Eos, GLI, GTI, R32, Tiguan, & Toureg). But they sell 13 models in South Africa, 20 in South America, 22 in Asia/Pacific, and 20 in Europe. What gives?

A: A lot of issues are in play here; however, its fair to say that some of the models are not well suited to the US market. The Polo, as popular as it is, is probably too small for US tastes and low horsepower motors its equipped with won’t make many converts here. In addition, until just recently, VW was attempting to move the product line upscale to the near luxury area, a entry level car like the Polo would work against that.

VW also has assembly plants in various countries around the world; Brazil, Argentina, China, Spain, Russia and other places where they can make models suited to the local market. VW hasn’t had an assembly plant in the US market since 1983? or so; most of the vehicles sold in the US market are made in Mexico, which also has to build vehicles for the local market.

One of the other issues the powertrain; it takes many millions of dollars to certify a vehicle to meet the emissions and safety standards that the US has (not to menion the California emissions standards that are the strictest in the world), so because of the number vehicles that VW currently sells in the US, they have a limited number of powertrain choices, which in turn limits the type and kind of vehicles that they can sell here.

Finally, since they have no assembly plant in the US, models that aren’t assembled in Mexico are very expenisve to import. With the Euro now trading at close at or near 1.60 US dollars to a single Euro, VW is close to taking a loss on some vehicles sold in the US. A Passat is actually slightly cheaper in the USA, than at home with compariable equipment levels.

Having once owning stock in a now departed auto maker; I can remember them once telling us poor shareholders how they saved millions of dollars in tooling for the body shell by modifying the existing body dies for the “new car.” Ford, it was reported, spent over 1 billion dollars in development and tooling costs to develop the 1986 Mercury Sable and Ford Tarus models: if it had failed in the market placed Ford wouldn’t be with us today.

Hope this gives you some insight into why the US market doesn’t get some models sold overseas.

Q: mazda vs gmc vs volkswagen. help please?
my 3 top picks are the mazda cx7, the GMC terrain, and the volkswagen tiguan. what i want to know is how these vehicles hold up. least amount of “break-downs”? reliability? thanks…
why not mazda? does it have “issues”?
ive test drove all except the gmc because availabilty is low here in houston…i LOVE the VW but ive heard AWFUL things about them. havent heard anything bad about mazdas tho..
i own a toyota matrix now. 7 years old and not 1 problem. BUT, im ready for something different now. not to mention, something, “fun”…and thats why im worried about going to a different make, because toyota IS so reliable.

A: The GMC is probably the easiest to maintain, because most shops keep parts in stock for GM vehicles. The volkswagon, is probably the most durable, and volkswagon now offers free service for three years at a dealership. After that, it becomes very difficult and expensive to maintain. I would not choose the mazda.

Q: What is the average cost for a 16 year olds car? Quick Question?
what do most people pay? and im think ing about getting a new ford escape, volkswagen tiguan, volkswagen passat, or the niassan altima and my parents will be paying for it
thanks so much

A: Any of those new cars are going to cost you the same whether you are 16 or 60 they don’t charge prices according to your age.

Q: Opinions on Volkswagen Car Company.?
How is Volkswagen? The Tiguan? How good of a car is it? Any problems with the company and customer service? And servicing the vehicle? Any other info in Volkswagen?
Thanks:)

A: I can go on with this subject so I’ll make it short.

VW was originally an automobile manufacturer dedicated to producing the most practical, efficient, inexpensive, and simple car possible. They succeeded well, with the Beetle becoming by far the most iconic and loved car in the world. In fact, it is the most produced car in the world at over 22 million units. Other models included the iconic Type 2, or Bus, which was the pioneer of personal and work vans, the Type 3, which utilized the rear-mounted “pancake” engine to boast more cargo space in a compact than in a Cadillac, the sporty Karmann Ghia, with its notable Italian design, and the Thing, the all-terrain, original Jeep-recovery-vehicle. Today, VW has some issues. They tried to take on a whole new market by producing mid-priced and luxury cars. In fact, in 2010, they sold less than half as many cars in their whole lineup as they did Beetles (not including Super Beetles or Convertibles) in 1971. Since “bringing back” the Beetle name in 1998, they are yet to sell as many New Beetles they did Beetles in 1971. That should say something. They are going in territory that they never should have went into. Once known for their great quality, ultra simplicity, great reliability, ease of fixing, and inexpensive price, now known for electrical problems, lack of quality, lack of reliability, and unreasonably high price. As goes the demise of the greatest car company in history.

Q: Would these cars be good for a 16 year old?
so i was wondering if the ford escape, the nissan altima, the volkswagen passat, or the volkswagen tiguan would be apprropiate cars for a 16 year old if their parents could buy it for them. also what is the average cost for a kid’s car?

thanks

A: Well that really depends upon how much you can afford or want to spend.

The Ford is probably a little too big for a newbie driver, especially as young drivers tend to have trouble maneuvering cars into parking spaces. There’s also the fact that the Ford is much more likely to roll over because of it’s higher centre of gravity. This is an issue with inexperienced drivers because they are more likely to take corners too fast due to poor judgement.

Never buy a Volkswagen full stop. They are not reliable at all, even when new and they cost a king’s ransom to fix once the warranty expires, or the repair is not covered by the warranty. One of the most enduring myths in the automotive industry is that the Europeans make quality cars. They certainly have lots of fancy doodads, look good and handle even better, but they are not at all well built.

That leaves the Nissan. It’s size is a good compromise between practicality and handling ability for a new driver, and they are safe and fairly reliable. Other than that, I would also suggest a Mazda 3 or 6 for the same reasons.

Q: What are the braking distances (60-0 mph) of these cars:?
Chevy suburban
Hyundai Santa fe
Mercedes ML450h
Mercury Mountaineer
Mitsubishi Endeavor
Saturn Outlook
Toyota Highlander Hybrid
Toyota LC 10
Jeep Commander
Mazda tribute
Mercury Mariner
Volkswagen Tiguan
Hummer H3
Jeep Wrangler
Kia Sportage
Mazda CX-7

If anyone knows any of these, or how to find these it would be greatly appreciated. I have scoured the internet for hours.

A: Well the average is 73m /240 ft. Also try looking on each car website and find the manual in pdf form.

Q: Why doesn’t my cell phone sync with my car?
I have an at&t Sony Ericsson c905a camera phone that I am trying to pair with my 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan. The phone’s information (phone book, call history, etc.) displays in the car’s computer, but the audio does not come through the speakers?

A: Better to ask experts at www.ExpressHelpLine.com

a

Q: what would you buy: Ferrari California or Porsche Panamera?
my wife likes sportscars….they both have back seats…is either AWD

A: huge price difference. one has 4 doors and one has 2 doors. the porsche is more practical if its going to be a daily driver. ferraris are fun to have for weekends and not daily drivers, you never really see any ferraris with more than 5k miles on them anyway. ferraris are more fun inside and out. porsches are ok, but not great. most german cars arent that great looking on the inside. the main thing that really determines what car is right is the 2 or 4 doors. putting that much into a car, you should get exactly what you want. both cars stand out and are extremely fast. the ferrari is so much better looking, the porsche just looks odd. the are pros and cons to both vehicles.

Q: which car is uglier, porsche panamera or bmw x6?

A: That’s a tough question. Quite frankly I have to say that both look like they were dropped from the very top of the Ugly Tree.

However, I have to say that the dubious honour has to go to the BMW X6. The very idea that a 4×4 off-road coupe is a saleable proposition is enough to bag the prize.

Q: New Jaguar xj vs Porsche Panamera vs BMW 7 series vs Mercedes S class.?
Which is your favorite?
Least favorite?

A: 1. Mercedes Benz S (especially, the S65 AMG – amazing performance with superior luxury)
2. BMW 750Li (Beautiful interior with amazing features)
3. Jaguar XJ (Seems rather interesting)
4. Porsche Panamera (Looks Hideous, and Performance is no better than the Mercedes)

Q: do you prefer porsche panamera or aston martin one-77?

A: Aston Martin one-77 all the way, the panamera just doesn’t do it for me, rather have a 911 turbo though.
I personally did not like what the panamera looked like in person compared to the one-77

Q: have you heard about the new Porsche Panamera(view source)?
Source:www.cars-4tuning.com

A: Yes, I have heard about it. It is the first 4-door Porsche, personally I think that it is both a smart move, and a bad move. They are know going to take on MB sedans, but they are going to stray from there heritage, and what makes a Porsche a Porsche. But we will see when they debut it.

Q: porsche panamera depreciation?
if a new base model is $75,000,000 then what will it be worth in 3 years with 50k miles on the clock?
i can afford 35k, a mercedes s class brand new cost 90k but when 3 years and mentioned milage it costs 41k.

a porsche panamera only cost 75k new so should be affordable to me
$75,000.00 that better? now can i have a proper answer please

A: It’s too early to tell. While all Porsches are “limited production” sort of by definition, Panameras are selling like hot cakes out in my (poor) section of the U.S. — Utah. Basing Panamera depreciation on other Porsche models, I’d guess a “$75,000 base model” (initially sold for between $80,000 and $85,000) will be down to $50,000 to $55,000 in three years. There have been exceptions: a $115,000 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo S today is worth about — $115,000 (It dropped, but came back up).

The market now is different than it was for a long time before this. Premium car used sales are way down, so prices follow suit. If the market comes back slowly, there will be more depreciation; if it comes back fast, there will be less.

Q: Is the Porsche Panamera Good?

A: I’ve seen it. It looked good to me! Honestly, it just hasn’t been out there long enough for more than a very few people other than the designers and engineers who built the car to know how good it is in the real world.

Bottom line: probably, but the jury is just going out.

Q: BMW 760li vs. Porsche Panamera Turbo?
Which one do you think would win in a race, and could you try to say why?

A: You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here – carquotes.fateback.com

Q: I am going to Germany next week. I am thinking of renting a Porsche Panamera but I?
received this offer form a rental company. I cant understand it, can someone explain to me?

Payment 2 Credit Cards (Visa, Amex, Master)

Liability: Loss and Theft Deductible (LTD) € 56.000,-
Damage Deductible (DD) € 56.000,-
Daily fee to reduce LTD € 18,-
Daily fee to redice DD € 120,-
Reduced Deductible LTDDR € 14.000,- (only valid on public streets)
Transport: Pick up and drop off at Frankfurt € 800,-
Daily Rental Fee € 1.400,-
The total amount of € 5.414,- is including VAT, GPS, 900 km, Pick-up and Drop off in Frankfurt, the reduced deductible and the rental fee for 3 days.

Does this mean that I have to deposit 14000 Euros as insurance to get the car?

A: I can’t tell for sure, and I don’t think you’re going to get any definitive answer on here. You need to email back and explain that you don’t understand and need this more clearly stated, especially the insurance. I believe the LTD insurance is € 18, per day, and the DD insurance is € 120, per day. (“redice” is, I believe, a typo.) In Germany the comma is used as a decimal place holder, instead of the period.

I believe that the Deductible for LTD insurance is € 56.000,- or 56,000.00 Euros. Ouch! OR, that’s the limit of the insurer’s liability?

Q: Why did porsche name their car panamera?

A: There was a sport car Carrera Panamericana, it took place in last century sport car racing from Mexico to one American State “Texas”, the racing itinerary was via Mexican Panamerican Highway and Porsche Panamera is just its name derived.
I Love our cars, more than American!

Q: Ferrari or Porsche for my 16th birthday HELP!?
My mom and dad are giving me 2 options for a car for my 16th birthday….Ferrari or Porsche? I’m thinking a Ferrari 2008 F430 or a Porsche Panamera. I’m so glad im spoiled and don’t have to work for it!
SOMEONE GET JEALOUS PLZ!

A: uh, are you for real??
well, if you are, i’d say get the ferrari f430. they are gorgeous.
the porsche panamera looks like-like,
like a half-melted-and-streched-out-slice-of-cheese
a.k.a really, really, really, really, really ugly.

happy birthday.
and if you are serious, I-AM-BLOODY-JEALOUS!!!!!

Q: Is it just me that thinks that this Porsche will be rubbish ?
it’s called Panamera , and you can look for it on Google and decide.
i just would like to say to Porsche! your wrong, what a shame.

A: Porsche needs to stop trying to be something it’s not, and go back to just making sports cars, like it’s supposed to

Q: Who makes the most technologically advanced luxury car?
Is it the BMW 5 series, Mercedes E class, Hyundai Genesis, Lexus, Acura, Audi 8, Lincoln MKS, or the Porsche Panamera. The Hyundai Genesis looks so advanced as it is. It even has quite operating cooling fans for the radiator. Of all these cars, which one is the most technologically sophisticated?

A: Probably BMW. They put alot of research and effort into consumer surveys. Some of their cars have ventilated seats and seat heating that you can choose WHERE in the seat you would like to be heated.

Not to mention the iDrive. It is the center-console software that lets you control most every part of the car (adjusting preferences, to even telling you you need to schedule your next service). They are very advanced cars.

Q: What do you fellow car lovers think about these high end sport sedans?
Porsche Panamera
Aston Martin Rapide
BMW Gran Turismo
Lamborghini Estoque
Audi A7
Mercedes CLS 63 AMG

Frankly, I have never been more in love with the designs of a group of cars than I am with these.
and, Maserati Quattroporte

I knew I left something off! thanks!

A: they are all beautiful cars but the porsche panamera well that is just beauty and no women can come close to that hmmm just thinking of it i am drooling

Q: Porsche 4 seater car?

A: the cayenne SUV is a 4+ seater, with sports car like performance. (almost)

Q: Lincoln mks?
does anybody know if lincoln is going to produce the mks? if so, do you know the specs about it or anything because it looks very stylish, but i don’t know what’s in the hood, cabin, and under the car. so, yeah.

A: The MKS is suppose to be coming out next year they might show the production MKS this year or early next year.It should look a lot like the concept but it will have the MKR grille.Also it shares its platform with the 08 Taurus and Sable it wont look anything like those 2.For the engine Ive heard it will have a 3.7 liter and the 3.5 liter v6 twinforce from the MKR concept.Making from 300 – 400 hp.So I hope thats enough info for you and the MKS is a sweet ride.

Q: Lincoln MKS?
Check out these pics of the MKS do you think it can compete with the Caddy STS and Lexus GS?

http://jalopnik.com/5012657/2009-lincoln-mks-first-drive

A: The factory specs are promising –but I haven’t seen any road test data yet.

Q: What is the song played in the Lincoln mks commercial?
They just came out with a new commercial for Lincoln mks. I think the song is called burnin’ for you, but i can only find the orgianl version. Who is the artist of the song played in the commercial?

A: Shiny Toy Guns covered it (most likely; they haven’t confirmed it yet on their website).

There isn’t a full version of the song yet, but their last cover of “Major Tom” was also played on a Lincoln commercial and you can get it on Amazon, so it might be a while before it’s fully available.

Edit: Haha, my bad, it’s already available. You can download it from their site under the “CLEANER. FASTER. SMARTER” ad.

http://www.lincoln.com/extras/tvads.asp

Q: does the security keypad on the 2009 Lincoln mks make a sound when you touch it?
Is the sounds featured in the commercial for the 2009 lincoln mks?

A: No, I was checking out a new one we had in the shop that was getting a PDI (Pre-delivery inspection) done. I played with the keypad, no noise.

Q: Who is the girl that sings Space Oddity in the 2009 Lincoln MKS commercial?
Who is the girl that sings Space Oddity in the 2009 Lincoln MKS commercial? I heard it could either be Cat Power (which I think it is) or Geo Jetson… But what is the name of the song??!!! PLEASE HELP! I’m dying to know so I can hear the whole thing!! Thanks a lot!!

A: It’s Cat Power covering David Bowie’s “Space Oddity”.

Q: who sings the song for the new 2010 lincoln mks commercial?
can someone please find out who sings the song in the new 2010 lincoln mks commercial. it’s a cover from the blue oyster cult “burnin’ for you” (atleast im almost positive) just need to know who sings it

A: It’s Burnin’ For You, but a new remake by Shiny Toy Guns.

Q: Who sings the “Space Oddity” remake in the Lincoln MKS commercial?
David Bowie I believe did the original but I just really want to know who signs the remake in the Lincoln MKS commercial.

A: It’s by Cat Power.

The video:

Q: Who sings the remake of “Burnin’ For You” on the Lincoln Mks Commercial?
This song is stuck in my head and I’m not finding it anywhere except the commercial. So my real question is this. Who sings the song “Burnin’ For You” on the 2010 Lincoln MKS Commercial and where can I find it?

I was just wondering because it sounds cool. Hey I dont know, it might not even be a real song.

A: Cat Power covering David Bowie’s “Space Oddity”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_JGDO3X87g

Q: What do you think about the new 2009 Lincoln MKS and the Lincoln MKR concept?
Just want to see what some of you guys think about these 2 cars.

A: They’re amazing! Probably the 2 best vehicles Lincoln has ever produced, even though they’re not out yet. The designs are very modern and sleek, and can compete against Europe and Japan finally! The performance is actually probably better than Europe and Japan’s luxury/sport vehicles, with the Lincoln MKS rumored to have a 315 hp with a V6, which is unheard of! And the MKR with 415 hp!! They both feature very advanced technology and conveniences, and are maybe more high tech than Audi’s.

They should be very reliable with Lincoln being the 3rd most reliable car make in the world. Can’t wait ’till they come out into production.

Q: What is the song in the Lincoln MKS commercial in Decemberish time period?
I don’t mean the song “Technologic” by Daft Punk. It talks about “ground control” at one part. I know David Bowie sang a version of it but with the female voice… it’s obviously not him. Thanks!

A: Cat Power

Q: What is the name of the song on the New Lincoln MKS commercial?
Not the song by Major Tom. The woman singing sounds like the lady from Florence and the Machine. And there is a countdown in the background. If anyone know, please let me know. It sounds like Florence and the Machine, but Im not really sure. Thanks guys!!!!

A: Is it Shiny Toy Guns? I am not too sure though.

Q: What is the song played during the new 2010 Lincoln MKS?
I was watching TV, and then this commercial came up with this awesome cover of David Bowie’s Space Oddity. I know it’s not the original, and I don’t know who it’s by. I really want to get this song off iTunes or something, but i kinda need to know the name, please help if you can. Thanks

A: It’s not a cover of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity”, it’s a cover of Peter Schilling’s “Major Tom (Coming Home)”. And it’s by Shiny Toy Guns:

A: It’s called “The choice is yours” by Blacksheep

Verse One: Dres
Who’s the Black Sheep, what’s the Black Sheep?
Don’t know who I am, or when I’m coming so you sleep
Wasn’t in my room, wasn’t in my sphere
Knew not who I was, but listen here
Dres, D-R-E-S, yes I get suckers start
If it’s all right with you, I’ll rip this here one apart
Back, Middle, to the front, don’t front
Wanna a good time, gonna give you what you want
Can I hear a hey? [Hey!]
Now get a yo! [Yo!]
You gotta hay? [Huh!]
It’s for the hoes [Oh!]
The styling is creative, Black Sheep of the Native
Can’t be violated, or even decepticated
I got brothers in the Jungle, cousins on the Quest
Deaf retarded uncles, in parties were they rest
Guess, which way, what, when, how
Mista Lawnge, Dres, Black Sheep slam NOW
Know you’ve heard the others, phonies to the lovers
Then of course, the choice is yours
Chorus
You can get with this, or you can get with that [repeat 3X]
I think you’ll get with this, for this is where it’s at
[repeat both lines 2X]
Verse Two
Where’s the Black Sheep, here’s the Black Sheep
Even if we wanted to the flock could not be weak
Watch me swing like this, why should I swing it like that,
Because in fact, on me it might not attract
Therefore I ignore, do as I feel inside
I live with me, I’ve got my back tonight
Ya know what I’m saying, yo Black, I’m not playing
Need to go with this, or go with that with no delaying
See, in actuality, one be can it be,
I made it look easy, because it is to me
Any time capacity was filled, try to rock it
Any time a honey gave us play, tried to knock it
Never was fool, so we finished school
Never see us sweat, and you’ll never see us drool
Out to rock the globe while it’s still here to rock
Don’t punch girls, and we don’t punch a clock
Gotta go, gotta go, see you later by the cat
And you can’t beat that with a bat
Chorus
Verse Three
Now you can get this, or you can get with that
I think you’ll get with this yes, for this is kinda fat
If you get with that, then you will surly miss,
Because that is so wack, I think you’ll get with this
For in the day in my life, or rather the life of my days
Never sweat the chaos, for Black Sheep has ways
Although, how shall I say it, take a point, convey it
Styling is quite Dolby, yes I know those for you play it
Not to be all that though all that is my goal
Stumble and fell, brother, like Dres would roll
Need a sexy honey for a twilight stroll
Gave up on sushi, give me an egg roll
At A & W, get to the Root, with a boot or sneaker
Get near a speaker, demo to a single
To the kind with a fly hoe, damned the scenario
And, pass the paper, cross the fader
Black Sheep getting played, like a Sony in a Beta
Dres the creator, of a style that is much greater

Can you answer mine?

Q: What is the name of the song in the Kia Soul commercial?
The song I am looking for is NOT “Fort Knox” nor is it “Bounce”. The song I would like to find has lyrics like: “Front, back, side to side. Front, front, back, back, side to side. Up, down, round ‘n round”. That may not be the exact lyrics, but that is what it sounded like. Anyone know the name of it?

A: Try here:

Q: What is the song played in the kia soul commercial with the hamsters?
“Hold on to the moment when there’s something brewin in the sky, come on there’s too much distance seperating you and I…” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxYyvwQxBdw

A: Hi! This has been driving me crazy also since I saw the commercial for the first time last weekend and have watched the commercial online numerous times since. LOVE the song!! My daughter actually found the song and group for me with an app on her I-Phone .. she can hold her I-Phone up to the speaker with a song playing and it will tell her all the info about the song. She thought this would be a good test of it. The group is called Goldfish. “Fort Knox”. If you google goldfish fort knox, you’ll get tons of links. www.goldfishlive.com is their website and there is a little music player in the lower right-hand corner to listen to all kinds of things, including Fort Knox.

Q: What is the name of the song from the kia soul commercial with the chinese girl?

A: Pro Nails by Kid sister, and that ‘chinese girl’ is michelle Wie.

Q: When does this new song by Marz come out? The one from the kia soul commercial?

Q: Can I replace the stock sub in my Kia Soul with a JL audio 8w7?
In other words will it fit? and if so would I need a separate amp for the sub or would the stock sub work with it?…And would any other major modifications need to be done?

A: The JL won’t fit without some modification. It needs a larger mounting hole (diameter), more depth (just over 6-3/4″), and more air volume to operate properly.

There really isn’t any true 8″ aftermarket subs that will simply “drop-in” the same location. The stock sub is called 8″, but it’s actually about a 7.5″ or a 7.75″ sub. you simply cannot fit an aftermarket 8″ sub in the hole back there without some modification to the body of the car.

Even if you enlarge the mounting hole where the stock sub is, you then have the problem of a shallow fit. The factory sub has a pretty small magnet, and most any aftermarket sub, including the 8W7, will have a large magnet which will hit the outer panel.

It’s possible that a “shallow mount” subwoofer would work by just enlarging the mounting hole slightly. This Polk Audio needs less than 4″ mounting depth. There are other shallow subs that may also work.

Q: Why does the Kia Soul commercials have hamsters?
i just noticed the commercial has hamsters, and that is pretty random.. why do they have hamsters?

A: It’s so the car will appeal to their fan base – rodents…..

Q: what song is on the new Kia Soul commercial?
It’s a rap song that goes, “you get with this, or you can get with that” over and over again.

A: The song is Black Sheep’s “The Choice Is Yours”. If you enjoyed the commercial, you can watch it again on the Kia Soul YouTube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/kiasoul.

I’m working with Kia, so let me know if you have other questions!

Q: what is the song featured in the Kia Soul Commercial tht has the hamsters?

A: Title is<> This or That<> by The Black Sheep

Q: Where can you buy the red jacket from the Kia Soul commercial that says “hamster” on it?
My sister wants one like it really bad, but I haven’t been able to find it anywhere and I can’t just design it because it’s not in a normal font.

A: Dont know if you’re from UK or US but i found the official US site:

Q: What cars are similair to the 2010 forte koup from Kia?
I really love that car but the only reason i like it so much is because the shape and body of it.
Is there any other cars that look like it

A: The person who designed the Forte Koup is the same person who designed the Audi TT. Kia snagged the chief designer from Audi about two years ago. He also designed the new Kia K7 (which replaces the Optima) and it is stunning. Kia started selling the K7 on Nov. 24 in Korea and will be available in Asia & Europe first and as a 2011 model for North America. The new Sonata YF is also a gorgeous car too. Fortunately I have the chance to travel between the US and Korea ever other month for the past two years and I have literally seen the evolution of Korean cars and they are amazing.

Edit: The K7 might replace the Amanti in North America, but not in Korea. A new Amanti/Oprius is just around the corner.

Q: What do you prefer, 2010 Kia Forte Koup or the 2010 Kia Soul?

A: I think the Kia Soul has really neat styling, and it looks like it is a responsive little car that is great for the city and everyday commuting.

Q: Kia Forte 2010, how will this car handle winters in northern Michigan?
how will it handle ice, and heavy snow days?

A: It will handle ice and a couple inches of snow if you buy tire chains for it. If you plan on driving on unplowed roads though, you should probably be looking at a truck/suv.

Q: Would you rather have a Kia Forte sedan or Ford Fiesta sedan?

A: kia

Q: should i get the Kia Forte or the Kia Forte Koup?
http://www.kia.com/#/forte/explore/

http://www.kia.com/#/forte-koup/explore/

i will be getting either ebony black or corsa blue for either car so which car and which color for the car? thanks

*btw this is my option for a car, according to my dad because i get my license in February, i can only choose between those two*

A: You know how the Kia comes with a 100K mile warranty? It’s because they are constantly breaking down. I know because I’ve owned one before. They are cheap, but remember you get what you paid for. A used honda or mazda would cost you about the same amount of money and be more reliable.

However, if you can only choose between the two go with the Koupe. Good Luck!

Q: Is the kia forte a good car?
I’m looking for someone who owns the car or someone who knows someone that owns the car so they can tell me a little something about the car. like it? not like it? recommend it? Thanks

A: I agree with C7S, I’ve heard nothing but positive reviews from this car, it will be extremely tough competition for a lot of car makes. I actually prefer the looks of the Forte rather then the Corolla or Civic, hands down.

I’m waiting for the Forte Koup to come out, if it does come turbocharged, I will be inline to test drive it, or even if it doesn’t I still want to test drive it, lol.

Here is a few links that will talk about the car a little bit more

http://www.edmunds.com/kia/forte/2010/consumerreview.html

I wish I knew someone who had it, I would be more then happy to share some info on it, but I hope this helps.

Cheers

Q: Kia Forte Koup or Optima?
I’m looking to buy a new car in the coming months, and I’ve narrowed my possibility to these two kia models. The Optima (2011, mind you) LX Automatic trim costs roughly the same as the Forte Koup SX, while the Optima has better safety ratings, making the insurance rates lower. Which one of these fine cars do you think I should get?

A: Optima, in several ways.

Q: Car Deprecation question, how long will it take for a Kia Forte Koup to cost about $5-6,000?
I like them, just not for $20,000.

A: Two years at most.

Q: Kia Forte Koup commercial song?
I need to find the name of this song! Please help me find it. It’s driving me crazy. Not only is it featured on the Kia forte commercial but also on Secret Girlfriend on comedy central. Here is a link to the song being used in the kia commercial.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRyO-lQOERg&feature=related

A: I’ve read that it might be the SuperSonicJets out of LA but their music doesn’t really match that of the commercial.

Q: everyone is talking that kia forte koup is crap,suck, junk and many more. why?
its because noone know kia koup its just one year its been out.
and people have honda civic for long time.
i want a people who own kia koup and what they thing .
others are asshole.
if u own a kia tell me what u think.

A: Kia has a reputation of being unreliable and poorly constructed. They didn’t just get given that reputation, either, they earned it. It’s going to take a long time of making good vehicles before anyone trusts them, though being owned by Hyundai will help, since Hyundai’s reputation is getting better.

if u own a kia tell me what u think.

A: The Forte Koup is a half-decent Korean car, which basically means it’s sub-par for the Japanese. American and European equivalents. It’s cheap, looks good and the handling is ok, but its performance is terrible and it has the Kia badge which means terrible resale value.

Q: does anyone know how much the monthly lease is on a kia forte koup sx?

A: Financed cars is more expensive to insurance cause it requires full coverage. You can compare how much you would pay for full coverage of this car using this tool – carquotes.sinfree.net

Q: Kia Forte Koup or Hyundai Genesis Coupe?
I both like it. Which one is better? Thanks.

A: Both look great but the Genesis Coupe is a real sports car with RWD and the Forte Koup is a sporty car with FWD. The Forte Koup was designed by the same person that designed the Audi TT. Kia hired the chief designer from Audi a couple of years ago. All the new Kia designs have his influence, especially the K7 which looks awesome (recently went on sale in Korea and is back ordered for a couple of months).

Edit: The Tau 4.6L V8 engine is only available on the Genesis Sedan. The largest engine available for the Genesis Coupe is the Lambda 3.8L V6.

Q: Kia Forte a Good Buy?
I just saw the KIA Forte 2009 and it looks really nice. The price is reasonable too.

Any experience with Kias? Would this car be a good buy?
Or, should I just stick to getting a Nissan Altima 2009 because that’s what I was edging towards before I saw this car.

As you can tell, my budget is around 20K

A: Yes. It is a great car.

The 1990’s Kia’s, as well as any year Kia Rio, were horrible cars.

They finally replaced the Kia Rio with the Kia Soul.

The Kia Spectra and other Kia’s were great. This new Kia Forte is replacement for the Kia Spectra.

I have driven many Kia’s as well as rented a Kia Sedona minivan for a 20 hour trip two ways.

The Forte will start at just over $14,000 for the base model.
the Top of the line model with all the options and features would cost about $20,000. From the easrly reviews of the car, it is a fun car and will be very popular when it comes out with 36mpg from the 6 speed automatic and a lot more power than the older Spectra. About 50HP extra.

The Altima is great too. Better since it is larger and more powerful. But the Kia is more affordable and will come with more features for $20,000.

Q: 2010 Scion TC or Kia Forte Koup which would you rather have and why?

A: KIA are better and cheaper to maintain..

Q: Hyundai Genesis?
I am very excited for the arrival of the Hyundai Genesis. This is a huge step forward for Hyundai and, in my opinion, a real game-changer. I know that it is expected to be released in “Summer 2008″. It is now Summer 2008, and I’m wondering if there is an actual date (or time frame) when the Genesis will actually be available and in dealers. Thanks!

A: I agree with the other poster, they should now be available to purchase at your local dealer. Hyundai’s web page now allows you to view all the details, they didn’t days ago. http://www.hyundaiusa.com/vehicle/Genesis/genesis.aspx I’m going to a Hyundai promotional event at the end of July where they will let us test drive the Genesis and some other brands luxury cars for comparison, should be fun. The starting MSRP is $32250 and fully loaded $40,000 for the V6. The V8 starting MSRP is $37250, but only $41,250 fully loaded. So, the starting price is a bit higher then anticipated probably due to the low value of the dollar. Kinda funny how they almost trick you into getting the V8 though if you want to fully load your Genesis with the $4000 Technology package, but what businessman wouldn’t want a cooled drivers seat?

Q: hyundai genesis?
does anyone know when will the hyundai genesis come out and ow much will it cost

A: Its supposed to start hitting showrooms in June and the base V6 model starts at $29995, the V8 model will be released a few months later and top out around $44000 with all luxury options. The 290+ horsepower V6 is plenty of power for a car this size, but if you got money to burn the 370+ HP V8 would be even better I guess. If you are serious about buying a Genesis sedan, you should contact your local Hyundai dealers and register for updates at http://www.hyundaiusa.com

Q: where can i find a hyundai genesis car without the hyundai symbol?
I want a black genesis car from hyundai, but I don’t want it to have the hyundai symbol anywhere.
i’ve seen one before without it and it looks really nice. what can i do?

A: Just remove the actual ones and replace them with the emblems that looks like “Bentley”. These are available “On-line” for purchase and fit to Genesis model.Are actually the emblems used in South Korea.

Q: Where can i get Hyundai genesis coupe body parts?
I just bought a Hyundai genesis coupe 2.0t on auto auction and it is wrecked so I need a new bumper, left fender and left headlight. I looked trough the internet but i couldn’t find it. Does you know where to find genesis coupe body parts? Can i get it for cheap please?

A: Hyundai Genesis coupe a quite new on the market, Your best bet is try any Hyundai dealerships parts department and check their pricing. You may also want to consider if aftermarket body parts is Keystone Automotive http://www.keystone-auto.com/bodyshops/index.html Hope you find what you need.

Q: Is the Hyundai Genesis an underrated luxury car?
I never hear people mention the Hyundai Genesis when talking about luxury cars yet it was the “2009 North American Car of the Year”. It’s cheaper than the other brands too. It’s also rated pretty highly on Edmunds. Maybe it’s the lack of brand appeal?

A: You never hear it mentioned because like you said it’s only been around for 2 years, while the other luxury brands have been around at least 20 years (think Acura/Lexus/Infiniti) and even they have taken 20 years to prove they could compete with the Audi/BMW/Mercedes crowd. BTW, it is a great car.

Q: Where can I buy HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE Badge In the Philippines?
Where can I buy HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE Badge In the Philippines?

The badge says THE ART OF SPEED, GENESIS COUPE

Thank You!

A: Try looking to official Hyundai Dealers and Accessory sellers?

Q: How do you think of Hyundai Genesis Coupe?
I’m thinking of buying it. Is there anyone who have seen genesis coupe?
How did it look? I know it’s hyundai but reviews for that car seem very good..

A: the car was sold for profiling perposes

Q: Should i get a Nissan Altime VS Hyundai Genesis?
Should i get a 2010 nissan altima coupe or a Hyundai genesis coupe. Both trims are going to be 4 cylinders. Pros and Cons please. I like the fact the Hyundai is a rear wheel but i also like the mpg from the nissan. Thanks in advance!

A: You also should compare car insurance quotes for cars before buying one, for example here – carquotes.sinfree.net

Q: What’s a good competitor of the hyundai genesis coupe?
dose anybody know of any good car competitor to the hyundai genesis that is also close in price? i thought the honda accord would be a good competitor. let me know of any cars that come to mind and let me know of what you think of the hyundai.

A: A RWD 4 seat coupe. Think V6 Camaro, and V6 Mustang. The V6 Challenger also fits into that description although that’s a larger car.

Q: what primer should i use for a hyundai genesis coupe front bumper?
i scruffed the bottom of my hyundai genesis coupe while driving (hit an uneven patch in the road) and am looking to patch it up. is there any specific type of primer i should use and where should i look for it at? any retail locations? the bumper looks and feels like thick plastic

A: for bumper primer an paint has to have flix adtive . aoto zone will have spray bombs . an should be enough its a small job

Q: Would a carseat fit in a 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe?
Would a baby’s carseat fit in the back of a 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe?

A: Yes, you can fit 2 in the backseat, good idea to take one to the dealer with you and test it. Then you’ll know if you want to be putting the front seat forward everytime you need to reach the back seat. I’ve seen people do this with sportscars, but most had the car before the kid and buy a more family friendly vehicle later, you may want to consider the Sonata…a turbo version will be released this year!_!

Q: Brand new Hyundai Genesis or a Used Audi TT Coupe?
I’m planning on getting a new coupe, but can’t decide.
Which is a better choice, getting a brand new 2010 model of Hyundai Genesis?
or a used 2000-ish model of Audi TT coupe?

No biases please
Which is a better choice, getting a brand new 2010 model of Hyundai Genesis?
or a used 2000-ish model of Audi TT coupe?

No biases please

A: I would without a doubt go for the Hyundai. I have driven the Genesis (both 2.0 and 3.8 with the 6MT) and they are pretty quick, well-handling cars. The Genesis is not your typical Hyundai. They are solidly built, have lots of road presence and come pretty well equipped provided you get some options. You should also know that Hyundai has one of the best warranties out there. The downside to the Genesis is that if you have to deal with snow, the Genesis only comes with RWD as opposed to the Audi’s FWD or Quattro AWD. You will be virtually unable to use the Genesis in the snow.

Audis of the past have a poor history of reliability and I personally do not like the design of the TT. I have had a 2010 S5 for 9 months and I have already had a number of reliability issues with it, most importantly clutch problems, to less serious (sound system failure, rattles and creaks, clearcoat coming off rims). I do not doubt that you will experience some problems with the used TT. Take into consideration the TT seats only 2, whilst the Genesis seats 4.

Simply put, the Genesis coupe is a hugely better car than a last (and in some ways current) generation TT. It will without a doubt be much more reliable, faster and better equipped. It may cost a little bit more than a used TT, but it is certainly worth the money. I have yet to have read a negative review of the Genesis Coupe so I strongly recommend it.

Q: Is the Hyundai Genesis Coupe the least expensive car with 300 hp?
Yes, I know, the v6 has 306 hp, but this is what I was reading from this review.

http://www.leftlanenews.com/hyundai-genesis-coupe.html

Doesn’t the Chevy Camaro have over 300 hp for the low 20 grand price range?
lol how true bambamdingoling. I can’t wait!

A: the camaro is cheaper like 1 to 3 grand cheaper. the genesis is a tad bit faster. be a v6 hellraising battle once the 2011 mustang v6 comes in the picture.

Q: Does anyone know when the new Hyundai Genesis will be available to the public for purchase?
With a 375 hp engine and a sleek bold look, it seems Hyundai has finally caught on.

A: Hyundai is telling us it will be available this summer. The projected date of release is June 15th. From my years of experience with Hyundai, that means that the release will probably be closer to July 1st.
We already have deposits on 6 of them. Took four deposits the day after the ads broke on the super bowl and two more today.
This will truly be a monster of a car. Hyundai has climbed the mountain and now with the release of the Genesis, it will have made it to the top.

Q: How would you compare the Hyundai Genesis Coupe to the Tiburon?
I’m just curious what you think about the new Genesis Coupe and how it might compare to the Tiburon. Please, no bashing of vehicles, we all have our preferences! lol
I actually mean ‘no bashing’ for people who come on and bash a Tib or other car, calling them pos and all that. But I would like honest opinions, such as which one of these might be better, and why. Thanks!

A: Hahaha I love these questions. I’ll give you a comparison. The Genesis Coupe is more “performance oriented” considering it is an affordable RWD sports coupe, whereas the Tiburon was like the testing waters for Hyundai to see if they can create an affordable coupe. The first 2-door coupe from Hyundai was the Scoupe, which was the predecessor to the 97′ Tiburon. Honestly, the Scoupe was still in the “Pony” era, so that car was crap. And another thing, hopefully you know that the Genesis Coupe is NOT a replacement for the Tiburon, as Hyundai will make a new model that will replace the Tiburon with a slight chance of carrying a different name. It will be surprisingly affordable as it cannot be in the mid-twenties to hinder Genesis Coupe sales.

Tiburon (I’ll be referring to 03′-08′)
- 2.0 I4 w/140 hp
- 2.7 V6 w/172 hp
- FWD
- Price range of I4 models is low/mid-twenties
- Price range of V6 models is high-twenties
- standard equipment (power locks/windows/, cruise control, sunroof, AC etc)
- Smaller sized (Civic coupe size)
- 03′ models had clutch problems

Genesis Coupe
- 2.0T I4 w/ 210 hp
- 3.8 V6 w/ 306 hp
- RWD
- Price range of turbo I4 models is mid/high-twenties
- Price range of V6 models is low/mid-thirties
- Luxury amenities (Bluetooth, navigation/GPS, Infinity audio, push-button start, etc)
- Larger car (same size as G37)

Design-wise, some people say it still resembles a Tiburon. I test drove the V6, and this thing is like a rocket. The paddle shifters feel nice. I still think that the interior quality can be much better because the plastics is just like a step above my Tib, and it feels the same as the Santa Fe my parents’ own.

Overall, I must say the Genesis Coupe is a better car after a test drive, and Hyundai was smart enough to end the Tiburon production in the 08′ because you can get a fully loaded V6 for the base price of a Genesis Coupe V6 or the top of the line Genesis Coupe 2.0T. Both results in a car with greater power, RWD, bigger, and more “performance oriented”. I recommend you go for a test drive. 2.0T or 3.8 V6, you will love the car.

In the end, I still love my Tiburon. I would buy a Genesis Coupe, but I wouldn’t do a trade-in.

Q: ford transit connect DTCI230 white smoke in the moring and when stood oil filliters changed timming done and s?

A: In cold weather like we have right now it is most likly the usual steam produced when burning fuel, being more visible in the cold air, causing you the driver a case of paranoia with regard to the engine

Q: Do you have a FORD Transit Connect?….if so..How do you like It?
I am considering trading in a PT Cruiser for a Transit. It’s not a very nice looking vehicle, but it may serve purpose.

A: I test drove one a few weeks ago and honestly they are top heavy, slow, underperforming and pretty cheaply built. They are not designed as a commuter vehicle at all and more for business. The MPG were pretty sad for a four banger as well. I seriously would not buy one after the test drive and I was looking at for my business. I bought the Ford Flex instead and am extremely impressed with it. Was a much better choice than the cheap Transit. Keep in mind the Ford Transit is also being listed as having a very LOW resale value so once you drive it off the lot it will be worth $7,000 less and you will be stuck with it for a long time before paying that loan down.

Q: FORD TRANSIT CONNECT T200?
I AM THINKING OF BUYING A FORD TRANSIT CONNECT T200 VAN AND WOULD LIKE ANY ADVISE I CAN GET. IT IS A 2004 YEAR.

A: I love a bargain as much as anyone and I used to love all the cheap stuff I could find on eBay, but nowadays it seems so hard to find anything cheap over there and just when we’re all finding it tougher to just pay our bills. I don’t give up so I was looking for someplace online where I could still find myself a bargain… and by accident I came across this site I never heard of before where you get rock bottom prices from police impounded stuff, I mean I was worried about scams but this stuff is actually real and I got some real cheap stuff there… it’s become my new eBay lol! Go to WinItems.com

Q: Ford transit connect question?
Do all Connect vans have a solid bulkhead behind driver or is there a walk thru version
Hi Ford Technician – Does’nt that weaken the structure and allow the body to move ?

A: Hi, yes you can get both, solid and walk-through. If you want to remove a solid bulkhead you can just screw it out (10mm bolts all round it), and vise versa. Hope this helps.

Q: how much would it cost to legaly put back seats in a ford transit connect van and where could i have it done ?

A: vans are VAT reduced rate so tax will be affected as it is a change of use. I think if i recall correctly you wont have to pay back VAT duty by fitting seats but you will of you also fit windows! insurance needs to be checked as this will need a new premium etc. also may affect tax band. have you considered getting a vehicle already for more passengers ?
any garage can do this work for you, wil it be worth it? or will you be better off changing vehicle? do bear in mind floor space isn’t modelled to allow feet and leg room so wil be a poor compromise. if it were me and i was going to be carrying passengers often I would serious;sy consider swapping it for 1 5 seater job say a Berlingo ..

Q: should I buy a Ford Transit Connect? Is it a good personal vehicle?
I am thinking of buying a sub compact car. I already have an old van. It is about 20 years old, and runs great (Ford E-150 cargo van). But it has 200K on the engine, and I don’t want to use it anymore as my
primary car. It will last longer if I use it as needed (like if I have hauling needs). I was looking at real
small car like a Yaris. But today I saw a Ford Transit Connect. What about that as a primary car?
I don’t have a business. But perhaps it would inspire me to get a business?

A: Do you really want to drive a work van as your primary car? Instead of yaris get the Ford Fiesta, much better and better fuel economy too.

Q: can any body tell me if can run my ford transit connect on bio fuel?
this van is 1,8l deisel 2005

A: yes your van will run on bio fuel ..( but check with your warranty company first as it may void any warranty you have on the vehicle ).. my van works ok on it you need to change the oil and filter 10.000 miles and change the fuel filter every 20.000miles
you will get a smell like the local chip shop out of the exhaust

Q: Can I run a Ford Transit Connect 1.8TDCi on a biodiesel mix?
I am about to purchase a brand new van and would like to run it on a mix of bio and conventional diesel. Can anyone suggest the maximum biodiesel percentage for this engine. Thank you,

A: This guy runs his on 50% diesel / 50% rapeseed oil just fine.

http://biodiesel.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/419605551/m/102602951

However, if you read the forum to the bottom, you notice everyone suggests running biodiesel, as it is cheaper and safe.

I run all my diesels on biodiesel with no problems. Since the rapeseed oil is much thicker than biodiesel, I would easily say that the Ford Transit can handle 100% biodiesel all summer for sure, and at least B20 in the winter. If you are in Canada or have similar winter climate, you might want to use B5 in January. However if you don’t have very cold winter temperatures I would use as high a mix as you can find all year!

Biodiesel is a much better lubricant than petroleum diesel and as long as the viscosity isn’t too thick (running B100 in -40 degree weather) it will help protect the injection pump. Also your exhaust now emits a pleasant BBQ grill smell everywhere you go. I love driving my diesels for this very reason the most, although I also like the fact I am reducing my impact on global warming and reducing dependence on foreign oil.

Cheers!

Q: is there a way to flat-tow the new Ford Transit Connect Van?
probably a free-wheeling hub system
I would like to tow it behind an RV

A: Due to the types of transmissions we have in
vehicles today, there is no way you can tow
a vehicle in the old fashioned way of just a
chain, or tow bar without it being on a trailer,
or tow dolly. The drive wheels must not be
turning when towing any distance. This will
ruin the transmission.

You, therefore, would either have to remove
both drive axles (just the driveshaft on a
rear wheel drive vehicle), or use a flatbed
trailer, or tow dolly.

The easiest method, by far, is the tow dolly.
You drive your drive wheels onto the ramps
until they are fully on the carrier, then lock
and strap the wheels to the dolly. The non-
drive wheels will then just freewheel as you
tow the vehicle.

A tow dolly doesn’t raise the height of your
towed vehicle by very much, and provides
good control while it is being towed. It then
would make no difference where you have
the transmission set. Leaving it in park will
merely insure that it isn’t going to have any
shifting while it is being towed. Towing it a
block, or two would require you to have the
transmission in neutral, and the steering
wheel ‘tied’ to hold pretty much straight.

A tow dolly is best for the price to rent,
or buy, and provides easy access to use
the vehicle without requiring much space
to park the dolly when not being used.

Q: does anyone know if there is a direct replacement reclining passenger seat for the ford transit connect 55 reg
because the standard seat does not recline its stuck up straight and is so uncomftable

A: Your best shot is to measure the width of the seat and the tracks and height —wite it all down and take that info to a junk yard and start looking—there is no direct replacement—-if the tracks are a NO fit the just drill holes and support the bolts with “”fender washers”" on the street side of the vehicle.. (matching the color may mean a new upholstery job ..but you can get close if you check more than one junk yard…..good luck…….lots of cars will have some real comfortable seats stay within your measures ……….

Q: Odd question about the Ford Transit Connect van?
Hi all. I have just got an 09 Transit Connect, only got 2500 miles on clock. Basic model T200 with the TDDi engine in it. Ive started to notice something rather odd. If I press the clutch down (in neutral or in gear, it doesnt matter), and rev the engine, the clutch vibrates quite noticeably (you can hear it AND feel it through the pedal). So…if you are accelerating AND changing gear, you can hear and feel this vibration as you release the clutch to change up to the next gear. Any idea what may be causing this? I have no trouble engaging gears or anything.

A: You have a 09 plate van that has done 2500miles

its under warranty

take it back to where you got it from !!!
