Locate an Auto Repair Shop in Henderson, Nevada

All: I need a little assistance. I have a 2007 328i Convertible and need replacement tires. I have seen all the chatter about RFT vs. GFT. However, I like the convenience and security of the RFT's. Also, it seems they have made great improvements in the technology and resultant ride. I would immensely appreciate it if someone could provide me some feedback on the replacements. Specifically, what brand and model of tire would be the best all-around. I live in Henderson (Las Vegas), NV and we do not experience severe weather often. Thanks, Todd_Ski :)

I've had my '07 SXT Caliber for 108,000 miles now...no issues at all! I guess I got lucky as I bought one of the first to arrive at the dealership when they had just come out. I love the CVT but I just found out it cost around 500 bucks (labor included) to get the CVT filter and fluid changed. Ouch! The filter is 37 bucks and the fluid (7 quarts) costs 28 bucks a quart! If I had known that 4 yrs ago when I bought this car i wouldn't have! Like I said, I can't complain as it has been a good, dependable vehicle. The suspension is not the greatest and the road noise is evident but for 17 thousand bucks I'm not complaining. The only thing I've done with mine is new brakes at 100,000 miles and new tires twice.

how many years Suzuki has left in the U.S. But the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi is one great vehicle. I test drove one a week ago in Henderson, NV. The dealer is about 8 miles from the Las Vegas Strip. The Kizashi I test drove was an automatic and it does have a peppy and smooth upkick to it's 2.4L 4 cyl motor. The knobs and switches are all pretty easy to follow and use. The Rockford Fosgate 425-watt stereo needs a further look-see from me, but it wouldn't break any deal I might make. The Kizashi runs over the bumps and rough spots and flattens them out for you. The steering is true and overall the car rides like a dream. I can't seem to find a Platinum Silver Metallic 2010 Suzuki Kizashi with a 6-speed tranny, though. I would look in to a test drive if I found one, for sure. I love the car. Mrs.iluvmysephia1 will not be agreeable to trading our 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS in. But I will work on it. It has certainly gotten underneath my skin. More on this later. :)

I see a ~1950 Suburban (like in 'Harry and the Hendersons') in my area now and then...looks like an aging restoration or a very pristine original...a cool sight among the RXs and leased 3ers.

the Kizashi is a really competent midsize car. It took the bumps and settled them in to little "binks" as I drove over them. The car accelerated very well with it's 4 cyl and the automatic tranny performed well overall. The Kizashi I wanted was a red '10 6-speed inside the showroom of the Henderson, NV, Suzuki dealer. The negotiations went sour-I wouldn't drop my demands for a lower price and got up to walk out. The hardcore financieer quickly chased me outside and his final offer just moved figures from here to there and they wouldn't meet my demands for the deal the way I wanted to do it. I would've scored well, but my point is that the dealer would've sold a Kizashi to me, and they chose to overly hardball me. I left with my '08 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS and have continued to enjoy the compact from Mitsu to the hilt. I just like the Suzuki SX-4, I went bonkers when it came out in the winter of '06-'07. I never even test-drove one of them 'cause the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer was coming out in a few short months and it caught my eye big-time, so I decided to wait for it. But I still like the Suzuki SX-4. Mitsubishi isn't going to leave, their all-electric i-MiEV is the glue they wish to use alongside the rest of their lineup to the American people. Of course, I love the Lancer lineup and I love the Outlander and it's young brother the Outlander Sport that is just coming out now. They need to massage the Galant and come up with a brand new design for it, very true. I would even dig the Colt if they brought it here. Mitsubishi makes a solid product and they back it up with the 10 year and 100,000 mile Warranty similar to Kia and Hyundai. They're here to stay in NA. Now, Suzuki is another story. Funny, the Lancer was getting serviced at my Phoenix (actually Avondale, AZ, about 9 miles west of Phoenix) dealer, and I walked over the Suzuki dealer on the same strip of dealers and talked to a salesman there about the new Kizashi. They didn't have the color I wanted nor a stick Kizashi (they only had two Kizashi's on the lot )so there was no move to test drive at that time, but I asked the salesman about Suzuki's stance on staying in the States. "Suzuki doesn't need car sales, man," was his response. They are so diversified with their other manufactured goods, motorcycles and such, and shipping lines that the automotive part is....is...what, an afterthought of some kind? No, the salesman didn't say that but my mind was going about trying to make up a good explanation for the lack of dealer network and advertising support for the NA sales. Ya know what, they don't make a large pick-em-up truck for sale in the U.S., do they? Oh, that's right. Neither do Kia and Hyundai and look at how well they're doing here, eh?
