And, dang, they really stuffed some meaty tires on it. Hope those are production spec and it's properly geared to turn them.
Pros: meaty tires
Vehicle:
Honda
Bought a 2022 Sienna XLE AWD brand new April 2023. Hit a deer that night. Did $28k in damage, all covered by insurance minus deductible. Currently sitting at 60,000 miles Maintenance done: serviced everything 5000 miles and new tires at 33k miles. No unexpected repairs
Pros: no unexpected repairs
Vehicle:
Toyota Sienna
Mileage: 96560 km
I had a paid off Honda Accord that got 27mph. The only thing it needed was tires and oil. I found it pretty funny that I was getting $3500-4000 a year in mileage reimbursement when the car was only worth $1500.
Pros: only needed tires and oil
Cons: driving that car sucked
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Mine is so great in the city, can whip a U-turn anywhere and gets 30-35 MPG no matter how you drive it. I am kind of sad you can't get cars like this anymore, but it is kind of hard to justify when something that's an order of magnitude more refined is only like $1500 more. But there is something fun about ripping around in something 153" long that only weighs 2300 lbs. It never needs brakes and doesn't eat up tires no matter how "spiritedly" I drive.
Pros: great in the city, fun
Cons: small, unrefined
Vehicle:
Toyota Yaris
I drive a Prius and it handles fine in winter. Although it burns more fuel during winter because of the heating. Only thing I would strongly suggest is getting a quality set of winter tires. Only time it struggled was getting up that steep incline on King Edward after Rideau on glare ice..during rush hour. I still made it just fine while other gas powered cars were spinning their wheels.
Pros: handles fine in winter
Cons: burns more fuel
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
I have a 2005 with just over 75k miles. Bought 5 years ago with 19k miles. I'm averaging 19.64 mpg. Most expensive repair have been 4 new tires after 50k miles.
Pros: repairs are cheap
Cons: mpg go down
Vehicle:
Honda Element
Mileage: 120700 km
The OEM tires on nearly every brand aren’t really good. This is the part where you shop around and find the tires for you. But you can find some really good ones for either amazing grip or maximum comfort.
Pros: amazing grip, maximum comfort
Cons: OEM tires aren't good
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Lol, zero grip on dry pavement? They aren’t the best tires, but I really didn’t have any major complaints after 35k miles and ended up buying a second set of brand new take-offs to replace them.
Pros: bought second set
Cons: not the best tires
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 56327 km
I used to think Honda is great until we had a CRV. It was a piece of crap. It shakes at low speed or highway speed. The dealer was so incompetent and kept asking us to replace tires, wheels all at our own cost but the problem was still there.
Cons: shakes at low speed
Vehicle:
Honda
