I've been doing some research on my next auto and narrowed my choices down to the CR-V -vs- Rav 4. Does the CR-V offer an actual car alarm? It was not mentioned anywhere when I did my research. The vehicle I am considering is the 2007 2WD LX (almost fully loaded, except for the moon roof) -vs-...

Here's my mini-review of the new Civic, reposted from rec.autos.tech: I looked at a new Civic yesterday, more out of curiosity then anything else since my 88 Volvo is still running nicely at 195k miles. Engine compartment(!): Cramped, cramped, cramped. In its quest for an additional 0.25 mpg,...

While I am sure that the courts will toss this, I don't have deep enough pockets to even think about risking mere arrest. The court costs would destroy me.

Also, what's the best time to put it in like early/middle/late life of oil for oil. And for gasoline empty tank...

Just wanted to get anyone's feedback who would like to share regarding preference for leather or cloth seats. I'm going to go with either an LX-V6 (cloth) or an EX-V6 (leather). I know the EX-V6 now has heated front seats. But I still hear observations from some that leather can be very hot in...

Hey all Just got a '92 Accord Coupe through my aunt's estate. I've never had a Honda before, so I was wondering if there is any website or something like that that I can get info from?

My lease is nearly up on my 2002 Accord. I've been leasing accords for 8 years now. But this last one had some issues ... it needed a new transmission (and even the new one is showing some early symptoms of trouble).
