“Good”

What things have gone incorrect with the car?

Transmission would not shift up properly. I have seen other reviews that called this "flaring." This occurred when I had 60000 km and only over 3 years ownership. Ford would not do anything about it except put in another transmission. This truck had a new transmission when I got it! I took it to an independent transmission shop and had it repaired for $750.00.

The sway bar finish links had to be replaced at 91000 km.

No other problems with this truck. I have been commonly glad with it.

Kia Releases Promo Video For New Sportage

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:59:16 +0000

As evidenced by its not-so-subtle appearances in this new promo video, Kia wants us to assume of one word when talking about the new Sportage: 'wow'

For the most part, it's difficult not to agree with that; releasing one of the most amusing promo videos helps a lot too. Combining colorful graphics with some beautiful slick shots of the Tucson's exterior and interior – we love the orange stitching on those seats – this promo video hits the label in, well, 'promoting' the Sportage. Not to the full extent of 'wow', but close enough.

The Sportage really shares its platform with its local Hyundai counterpart, the Tucson, so if you can attest to the overall package of the Tucson, chances are you're going to feel the same way for the Sportage.

As it stands, the Sportage is set for a fall coming in the US and almost the same to the Tucson, will also come with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with a later option for a smaller 2.0-liter variant.

Chief Engineer Wants Mazda Rx-7 Resurrection

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:59:23 +0000

Chief Designer for Mazda, Ikuo Maeda has some feelings about the resurrection of the RX-7.

“I do have a mighty yearning to resurrect the RX-7 during my tenure,” Maeda said. “But in order for that to happen, we need the U.S. economy to come back, first and foremost.”

Well, gee, thanks Maeda. We're happy to know that you are thinking of our well-being. Oh wait, very likely not. Well at least we might get the possibility to see a resurrection of the RX-7 featuring a 16X rotary engine in the near future. But don't anticipate a high-powered sports car. Mazda is still experimenting with forced induction so we very likely won't see that in the first batch of this much anticipated comeback. Sources tell that the new RX-7 will be an affordable, user-friendly sports automobile with a rational fee tag of $30,000USD.
