What is the right first car?
I'm shopping for a car. I'm wanting a SUV or truck that is under $15,000 and under 80k miles. I need to be able to pull small trailers, haul friends around, and be reliable enough to last throughout college (which I will start in 2 years). I also prefer it is a 2008 or newer model. So far I have the Ford Escape in mind. Are there other make and models I should consider?
P.S. I like the design of the escape. It is very spacious with a good body look to it. Very 'guyish. I just don't want a 'chick' car in other words.
Explorer will pull a lot bigger trailer.
I would like to suggest you, to go for Toyota Yaris. Its a good car for the first time drivers.
Go for an Asian car like Honda or Toyota. They're more reliable than American cars.
- Why does my car pull to the right under acceleration? It goes straight when not accelerating, but if you hit the gas from a stop, it pulls to the right pretty hard, it has 92k miles, ford windstar, aligned at 77k miles… What could be the problem?
- Can bald tires make your car pull to the right? In my car Haynes Manuel they say it could be caused by bald tires, alignment, or other things i never hit no curves or anything, ever since my tires got bald on the sides, its been shaking at highway speeds and pulling to the right. My tires are bald on the saides but still have trend in the middle of the tires. I'm getting new tires today and balanced for free, will that be enough to fix my problem? Ford Taurus 1996 GL
- My car is leaning to the front right wheel but still drives straight? How do I fix it? Ford focus 2005 4 cly it doesn't effect my steering but I can head freaks and sqeeks when I hit small bumps. I also notice in the car It leans forward to the right front wheel. Seems alright but I wanna get it fix if it can get worst. I'm guessing it's a strut or spring suspension broken. What do you guys think?
- Car seat padding misaligned? How do i put the padding back on the right way? The car is a ford focus 2007 manual hatchback and the driver seat back rest right side padding fell off the bar. Now on the right side of me all i feel is a hard metal bar that used to be covered. How do i put it back?
