I'm poking around carsurvey.org trying to get a feel for some sedans and SUVs. The Seville's transmission is starting to slip from 1-2 and it needs new front struts. All of that totals a few grand for a car quickly approaching 200k. Its dealt with abuse and given itself generously to its owners, so its time to move on.

Carsurvey seems to fixate on reliability and things that break rather than enjoyment and design. Some of the Bentley reviews were interesting.

Not surprised:Mostly positive for Regals, Cherokees, Rivieras, Mercedes W123 and W124s, and 4.9L Cadillacs. Mostly negative for Cateras, Saabs from the late 90s through mid 2000s, and Intrepids.

Surprised:Ride quality complaints on the Bentley Continental GT. Reliability problems on the Mazda 6. Satisfied Range Rover owners.

Odd:Here's a car review from North Korea:http://www.carsurvey.org/revie...ents/

Everyone but me pretty much hate my car because it's loud, obnoxious and smells like a gas station.

Almost everyone on carsurvery.org had good things to say about the 92 240sx, only one or two negative reviews from people like "it rusts too fast"

1992 Nissan 240SX StatisticsWould buy another Nissan? 94%Would not buy another Nissan? 0%"I think out of all the cars I've ever driven this is my favorite.""The 240sx Convertible is my favorite car I own, and my favorite car I have ever driven.""I'm never parting with this car, I'm keeping it until I'm too old to get in it."etc.

Well, most people I meet say my car looks goofy with the fender flares. One guy even said it reminded him of a Jeep Wrangler with them on

I only read one negative review about the 91 240sx, and it was about the stupid spoiler rusting out the hatch, which is oh so true.

My specific trim was given high marks all around, everyone talking about how the car just won't die, lol. I would write the same thing. BEST piece of crap beater I ever owned.

One guy had a bug up his as$ about the 1.6 option which we never got here in the states. Some people have to ruin it for everyone, I suppose.

Girls date in spite of, not because of, clapped out 21 year old secretary-mobiles.

Everybody loves my/my mom's car because it's roomy.

I want another S13 so people can rant about it's unroomyness, but I can rejoice about the better leg space/5 speed.
