| Answer to: Toyota Corolla LE or Toyota Corolla LE Hybrid | 8Relevance | 2 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Why not? I don’t exactly know why, although I have my suspicions. Just from following Prius forums and friends over the years, it seems like lower mileage Prius need their battery replaced sooner than higher mileage Prius. My suspicion is that cycling through the battery is better than letting it sit and drain, in terms of longevity. | |||||
| Answer to: Can I put bigger tires on my Lexus | 8Relevance | 2 years ago | MountainManJoe | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| That's not how tire sizes work. The '50' means the sidewall is 50% of the width. You can't change one without changing the other. The tire height will change. If you don't understand , then use the calculator Hixter suggested. Now in this case, the change isn't huge ... less than an inch, but it will throw everything off. Speedometer. Shifting, etc. I bet Toyota programs the computers differently for the different tire sizes. So again, WHY do you want this? Is it worth it? | |||||

| That's right. The new GM is very "global". As it turns out previous suppliers are reluctant to sign long term contracts with a company that went into insolvency. Their EV the "Bolt" (recalled at least three time for fires) hasn't made money yet. GM loses $9k for each one sold. Even though it's assembled in Michigan, the parts come from Korea. Up to now, most of the car and small SUV models were built on the greek letter platforms that were developed with Fiat/Stellantis Going forward, GM wants to distill all their vehicles down to a few "Vehicle Set" (VSS) platforms. American hands didn't even touch many of the models from the last couple of years, like the Trax, Trailblazers and Buicks. They're entirely made in Korea. Many are rebadged vehicles that were intended for "emerging markets", of course in North America they're sold with a 1st world price tags. GM wants to move their entire vehicle line-up to this architecture. The K2xx platform that underpins the pickups and SUVs up to 2019 is plagued by driveline vibrations (Millions recalled) GM engineers can’t seem to pinpoint the cause of a mysterious recurring issue in vehicles riding on GM’s K2XX platform, which includes its full-size trucks and SUVs, a problem that was referred to by one dealer as “The Chevy Shake.” Because GM can’t isolate the cause of the problem, a permanent fix has also been elusive. As mentioned, the 2019 to present T1xx platform pickups are made in Michigan, Indiana, and Mexico | |||||
| Answer to: Staggered tires on FWD car. | 8Relevance | 2 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| That's really the complete opposite of what you're trying to accomplish. Your front wheels should be thicker. As you accelerate, the front end wants to ever so slightly pivot upwards, reducing traction. The goal is to retain traction. If anything, you should choose a slightly wider, lower profile tire on the front end. Having said that, it would look quite silly. I'm pretty sure they made them with faux spoilers. If you don't have a faux spoiler, a tasteful spoiler might look reasonably good, if they still make them. Don't put staggered wheels on your car. | |||||

| They sound really simple on the surface, but a lot of engineering goes into piston rings. The profile is critical to how they work, and yet the tiny features are hard to see with the naked eye. | |||||

| Yessir, it makes a difference. Low profile tires don't help a car's ride and they're typically more easily damaged. The XLS is 'the more comfortable car'. I didn't make it clear when I suggested buying based on what's more comfortable. | |||||

| I wouldn’t worry about it. The 19” wheels are lower profile and will always be more of an issue than the 18” wheels, but that is going to be true for most vehicles. I myself am in the market and have decided to go with the 19” wheels just because the rest of the vehicle/package offerings were what I wanted. | |||||

| Answer to: 3 new car choices..hrv-sportage-eclipse cross | 8Relevance | 2 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Yes. Scotty is usually more familiar with North American cars - he is not aware of Euro/ME market powertrains and even models. I gladly will. 🙂 (Image added to verify that we are discussing the same car model and generation) The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is based on the "Mitsubishi GS platform" - so this 2023 model car shares most of it's components with the 9th generation Lancer (from 2007) and the Mitsubishi ASX from 2010. The CVT in it is junk - it's that horrid Jatco CVT that you can find on Nissans. Finally, another reason to avoid it is due to the fact that Mitsubishi is dead, by 2025 they will fully stop any developments and will be fully replaced by "badge engineered" Renault cars (the process has already began). It is a underwhelming car, I do not recommend it. (Image added to verify that we are discussing the same car model and generation) The new generation HR-V EUROPEAN is actually quite nice - but it's a small, light car that falls short on safety. The injury measurements on the frontal impact category are poor and other measurements are also disappointing. *NOTE: US market HR-Vs have nothing to do with the new EU HR-V. (Image added to verify that we are discussing the same car model and generation) The brand new Toyota Urban Cruiser is just a "badge engineered" Suzuki Grand Vitara. When you say "Hybrid" - what one do you mean? these are offered with 2 distinct systems The "Strong Hybrid" is a Toyota DyanamicForce Hybrid system from the Toyota Yaris Cross. The "Mild Hybrid" is a Suzuki system based on the Suzuki 1.5 Dualjet and a small 48V belt driven motor. I can see the appeal of a 7 seater Toyota Urban Cruiser with the "Strong Hybrid" system, yet it's kinda noisy and just not as good as it could have been. (Image added to verify that we are discussing the same car model and generation) Do you mean the Diesel? But the Diesel still has a turbo (Turbo-Diesel) Kia does not currently produce a Kia Sportage with a naturally aspirated 1.6 Look the new Smartstream D1.6 Diesel, unlike it's very successful predecessor, uses an aluminum engine block - I do not know how well it will hold up. I am unsure what Sportage you mean exactly, the new generation just doesn't have a 1.6 non-turbo. As far as the transmissions, the 6 and 8 speed torque convertor transmissions can do a while, just make sure that if they run hot that you add a cooler. Generally the new generation of the Sportage is not very masculine, it's a very plush MPV that's built less for serious use and more as a comfortable method of transport. TLDR: Out of these options either Sportage or the Urban Cruiser. (Depending on the exact version you're looking at!) | |||||

| 51 grand is pretty insane for a midsize sedan.Considering a Camry starts at around mid-20s. -On the topic of IS tire wear, yep seems like they do wear out their front tires quite early due to poor design on Toyota's part... And although the IS tire situation is really bad - y'know lifetime total cost of ownership on a fuel guzzling V6 luxury sedan is going to be very high regardless, it's not a Corolla hybrid by any stretch of the imagination...-Also, yep, I'm also a wagon guy.I loved my Ford Focus wagon - It showed me what a "Life-style vehicle" truly is about.The large boxy body with tons of space for everyone, an absolutely ludicrous boot, and still having tight handling was incredible. After owning that car sedans (even large ones) just felt incredibly limiting.-Sadly Lexus doesn't sell their hatchbacks and stations wagons on the US market.(Lexus CT) (Lexus LBX) -BUT!Although Lexus UX is called a "crossover" - it's just nothing more than a wagon.It has only only 6.3 inches of ground clearance, it uses the Toyota Corolla platform, and it's lower than the outgoing CH-R... -Crossovers like the Lexus UX are just wagons with a bodykit.My "Crossover" is pretty much just a slightly longer hot-hatch with just 0.7 inches more ground clearance than the sedan variant... Same for my other crossover, they just added 0.9 inches to the sedan and called it a "crossover" -So yeah, most crossovers are just wagons... (boxy sedans with slightly improved ground clearance) | |||||

| Answer to: AWD/17" tires versus FWD/19" tires | 8Relevance | 3 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Most of us here do not recommend Hundai/Kia products. See the site Hyundai/Kia topic for details. Beyond that, drivetrain and tire size are a matter of price and personal preference. Front drive is fine for most people even under slippery conditions. Good winter tires will help a lot in snow and ice. AWD gives you an extra edge at the expense of higher initial cost, higher maintenance and repair cost, and lower gas mileage. Tires with very low profile give a harsh ride and make the vehicle's wheels and suspension more susceptible to damage from road hazards. For what it's worth back when I lived in Massachusetts and New Hampshire in the 1980s I had front-drive cars and had no problem driving in winter. | |||||
