What a disgrace - Toronto Autoshow, Pontiac

My girlfriend bought a '00 Sunfire in '02 with 30,000 miles on it. Other than regular maintenance (full brake job, full tune-up, and water pump) plus a $15 resistor for the hva/c. and a $30 harness near the fuel tank, the car still runs tip-top with 110,000 miles on it today. Granted I hate the looks of it and it handles like crap (I added a front sway bar because I was tired of getting sea sick around corners) it has been A-1 for her.



As with any brand, your results may vary. I think if you buy nothing but one brand your entire life you will encounter a problem vehicle at some point.

I hear the Americans talk about a tune up a lot, what is a tune up.



Over in the U.K. we just have servicing, changing oil, spark plugs etc. Mot which is to make sure your car is safe and up to the DVLA standards.
 
A tune-up just refers to periodic maintenance like changing plugs, filters, belts, etc...

If you go to a shop and get a 50,000 mile tune-up, you'd get stuff like new plugs (maybe not if you have platinums), tire rotation, new serpentine belt or V-belts, fluids checked/changed/topped off, and a new fuel filter.
 
I admire the hard work and money these guys put into their cars but spend a little more time making that $10,000 paint job stand out in a positive way!

I agree Bob. World of Wheels was not too bad but the Atlanta Auto Show is a travesty for paint. Guys running around with terry towels as well. Prolly dipped in steel shards and brake dust judging by the swirlfest.
