I believe that they are still the safest. (for now remember Ford does own them) As for the most reliable you had it correct, stick with a Honda. When it comes to sporty Volvo is a joke. If you live in the U.S. Maybe you should wait for the BMW 1 series which should be in your price range and is sure to be a lot of fun.

I have been a mechanic for some time and enjoy tuning on my hot rod, when buying things for performance for new cars(fuel injected and computers) be sure to do your research and never buy from someone who doesn't warranty and give support.

I have been a watercraft tech for 15 years on sea-doo, kawasaki, and honda`s new watercraft for the 2 it`s been out. The 2000 gtx had 2 different models the RFI w/787 engine and the limited w/947 engine.Both are good ski`s but I`d prefer the RFI model. THe 947 needs more maintainance and goes through engines while the 787 will last a long time.If you want a good ride the GTX is what you want.Being a 3 seater it`s longer and rides much better than a 2 seater in choppy water, and isn`t easy to tip over like the 2 seaters are.It is also alot easier to get on to.Also you must have a 3 seater to pull a skier legally.So yes a 2000 GTX would be a perfect personal watercraft for you. Hope this was enough info and you have lots of fun on it!

Chrysler is slowly making the move from Catia V4 to V5...finally. (detroit based) \nVolvo in NC is mostly V5 (heavy truck).\nFord Mo. Co. is shifting slowly to V5, but I am unaware that they have much going in design presently.\nThat's to name a few.... I'd check on Monster for more.

Check the Vendor Classifieds on the www.nasioc.com forum.\n\nSven has very little idea what he is talking about. Of course the STi is a better car, but the WRX has a *lot* of potential. My 05 WRX running larger Deadbolt ported turbo, TBE, uppipe, header, upgraded injectors and pump, Ecutek, TMIC, pulley, and SMC alcohol injection runs 315 awhp on the conservative Dyno Dynamics (this is 400 crank hp ), and the transmission is in excellent shape with no metal filings or other damage. \n\nOf course, I don't shift like an ape like some people.\n\nThe best thing to do is read nasioc, and learn from people who know what they are talking about.

Depends on what you want, An evo offers "cheap" interior as opposed to the Subie STI.  The subie is more refined to drive then the Evo.  Still the evo is a great looking car, and the tuning ability are almost the same.  So, if I had a choice I would buy both and see which is the best.

Well, it was always like: Porsches are more fun to drive. Mercedes are more classy and luxurious. Yes, yes, until....the SL65 AMG!!!\n\nLet's assume that money is no object, there is no doubt that if you exclude from the equation the Porsche Carrera GT, among all other Porsches and Mercedes, the best car today is the SL65.  Just go online on any search engine and type SL65, and read the reviews. Twin turbo. Mind blowing power: 604 horses. Over 740 lbs of torque. Aggressive lines. Class, technology, grip. It's a shame that you need approx $ 190,000 to get one, otherwise it would be already in my driveway. Oh well....\n\nThe SL65 came out last year and it has since been the topic of conversation at jet-set dinner tables in Palm Beach, the Hamptons and Beverly Hills (and lucky valet attendants!).\n\nI tend to agree, Porsches are more fun, but how can you give up 604 plush horses that simply overshadow the 911 (480 hp for the new 2007 version) ????

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The McLaren F1 has proven to be the most exotic, reliable, fast, exhilarating supercar in the world. Of course, there is the Veyron, the Koenigsegg, Spyker and all of those things, but none has the mystique of the McLaren F1. The facts back me up as well: it has maintained the status of being the fastest production (not modified at all) roadgoing sportscar in the world for 13 yars now (371 kmh). Remember, unmodified. Because some people could say that, well, the Veyron or the Koenigsegg is faster, but they've all had minor modifications made prior to testing. In my opinion and in lots of car journalists' opinions the "marriage" between The BMW v12 engine and the overall design and engineering work of McLaren's Gordon Murray is the incarnation of perfection in the automotive world.

Yes..the new ones are great. The old ones are pretty good also.

I would go with the Sentra. The Mazda may be easier to get more horsepower out of but the Sentra is a more stable buildable motor and NISMO has many racing parts for it.

German engineering is world renowned.  That is what the japanese auto manufacturers are trying to emulate (not very well).  I had a saturn, but when I got my Jetta - it was like being in a different world.  Handling, fit & finish, interior, power, fuel efficiency - all way superior.  \n\nI do agree that the older ones look better than the new ones, I'm not into the high trunk lid.  \n\nAnother thing I like is that the Jetta has 8 passenger compartment air bags, but they are not obtrusive like on an american car.  \n\nI paid $12.5K for a 01 Jetta TDI w/65K mi on it (about a year ago), and, I tell you, it blew away the saturn we bought new and had only put on 23K mi.\n \nI have not had to get any major repair work done, but the service does not seem to be any more expensive than it is on any other car.

i would say the STI is faster...if you look at the launching of the STI, it is made for racing..it is made to be pushed..the beamers started off as looks..and if it wasn't for the BMW M3, they would not be faster..an EVO and a BMW have comparisons, but the STI is way better...let me know if u need more help

The new mustangs.  And now they're going to come out with a new/old Camaro.  I'm not big into cars but I love the look of these two.
