Ok, I have to admit I'm automotively retarded.  My car started shaking

mechanics.

Since purchasing a used 2000 Sonata GLS, the feature that the wife
misses the most from her old '88 Ford are the exterior lights shutting
off automatically with the ignition. The Sonata does shut off the

I am in the market for a new car and have looked at the 2004 Suzuki
Verona (v6) and was wanting to know from others out there who own this

When I went to the Hyundai/Suzuki dealership, I looked at both the 4

Hiya folks,
Just bought a used 2002 Elantra GLS----great car so far.
