That would only be the case if it is the tires causing the balance problem. If it is the wheels then as the tires wear it won't change. Because the weights would be compensating for the wheel, which won't change its weight distribution as the tire wears. If you have only 2 weights on wheels...

how can it cause the tires to wear prematurely? Yes it isn't great that it takes more weights but once the weights are in place it is balanced just like a wheel that only takes 4 weights to balance. The weights have corrected for the weight not being correct on the wheel to start with. If...

It always annoys me when things are referred to as "poor mans" versions. I would bet a large number of CX-5 buyers could easily afford an Audi, they just don't see it being worth the extra and a Q5 only comes in with an average mpg of 23. And I'd worry about the reliability long term...

do any cars have those?

Yep, if ride quality is more important than handling to you then it may not be the right car. I often find myself noticing how bad the roads are, even recently paved ones no longer have the smooth as glass feel like they once did. I love the handling so it is worth it but there are still...

I've heard that one before but always wondered about it because the gas is always being sucked from the bottom of the tank. I guess if the contaminants are ones that float then it would take in more of them but I'd think most of the bad stuff in the tank would be at the bottom all the time...

I can try to take a picture tonight (don't have the car here), not sure how good I'd be able to do under there but I took it like pictured and then basically fold it up under the seat with it pivoting at the hook part. The plastic hook then grabs the metal edge to slide over it a bit and then...

ahh, the different views of driving....

yeah, why worry about reducing other drivers ability to see at night as long as it looks cool. In every single before and after photo of HID installs with projector headlights looking at the car from the front there is clearly substantial glare shown in the after. And these are photos from 5...

but what I really want to know is would the key for a sky blue model be better.

I guess it depends on how you look at it. If you are trying to fool people into thinking you have upgraded calipers then sure. But I think most people just do it for looks, in which case to each their own. On the same line of thought then it is the same to buy fancy wheels that aren't any...

that's a good idea. Wouldn't hurt for everyone that is interested to contact them as the more request they get about updating it the more they will know it is something people want. When I click on the Contact Mazda by Email link I get this: "Thank you for your interest in Mazda. We are...

Anyone verify that it has an option for updating yet?

Even though it initially sounds like they are trying to set it up to not be covered it is probably that they have just run into that issue in the past and if the customer thinks that their problem is 100% guaranteed to be covered for free right from the start it probably creates some drama when...

+1 and now we have 3 separate threads all asking the same thing.

without the reflector aren't the fog lights now more of 'driving' lights? Isn't the reflector what keeps them from lighting up everything and just lighting the road?

CRV only on the top trim level, chevy cruze only on upper levels, only on upper levels of the Rav4, Sentra only comes with it on the top trim level. Top 2 trim levels on the Altima. Leather models only of the Escape ......

One thing that Honda did really well early on is how they handled the issues. I had a business professor that told a story of how when Honda first came out with cars in the US he went and bought one. After he'd had it for quite some time the A/C compressor quit and so he paid to have it...

Granted it sounds good but Ford lost just as much money as GM during the downturn. Ford had just taken out a huge loan prior to the crash so they had enough cash on hand to burn to get them through. It wasn't that they were running their business that much better or even profitably that kept...

it's funny to me that someone would be so unhappy with their product yet would keep going back and buying their product. The free market should have caused them to change or go away, except from what you are saying people kept taking the bad product and coming back for more.
