Replying to: chuckfromli (Aug 21, 2009 8:59 pm) the steering has been lightened up quite a bit and even the doors swing more easily. we have a 7 year old explorer, that still feels very substantial. i still like driving it on the few occasions that i need it for. it's on it's second kid as a daily driver

Replying to: explorerx4 (Aug 22, 2009 7:09 am) I still like my Pathfinder, and that's a 2000. It is simply too good and too well maintained to sell or trade in. I don't think I'm going to get that feeling from any compact crossover. Driving the RAV4, well.....it could just as well have been a Civic or a Prius. |

CR-V was faster to 60 than the Escape by 2 seconds, measured by the G-tech device. The CR-V 4 cylinder with a manual has been tested by car magazines and does reach 60 mph in 8 seconds. I don't follow vehicles with automatic, sorry, I don't go that way. There are certain things men are not supposed to do... not that there is anything wrong with that....

Replying to: blueiedgod (Aug 24, 2009 9:19 am) The '01 CR-V hit 60 mph in 8.4 seconds and the quarter-mile mark in 16.6 seconds at 84 mph. Our '08 required 9.3 and 17.2 seconds, respectively link title Zero to 60 mph: 9.4 sec link title You'll do 0-60 mph in around 10 seconds

Replying to: blueiedgod (Aug 24, 2009 9:19 am) I'm still looking to get a 2010 4 cyl Escape, wonder how that compares to the CRV. Nothing wrong with the CRV, 22,000 miles and no problems. Combined mileage with the trip computer is 23.9. I just like to trade every couple of years. Still can't understand how the 2001 has rear drums, the 2005 rear disks, and the 2010 rear drums.

Replying to: bj02176 (Aug 24, 2009 1:50 pm) most of the braking is done by the front brakes, 80% comes to mind, although if anyone has a better number, please post it. rear drum brakes seem to require service less often than rear discs. our 04 escape with 76k on it had the front brakes replaced around 50k, rears are still originals, and in the 'green zone' as per the last inspection.

Replying to: chuckfromli (Aug 24, 2009 5:05 pm) if you look at the drums on the new ones, they have a nice black powder coat type of finish. |

Replying to: chuckfromli (Aug 24, 2009 5:05 pm) Really chuck? I assume you have proof of this that you can show us then? That would be some useful information to all of us, me especially. You see, I've long had a theory that a gremlin snuck into our garage and switched the front rotors from my '98 ZX2 to our '96 Civic back when we had them because there's no way Honda buys cheap rotors right? Please prove me right! All kidding aside, you do realize that warped rotors are mostly the direct result of repetitive hard stops over short periods of time. Heats them up too fast without enough time to cool you see. Most OEM rotors are not of the best quality but should all stay relatively flat if your driving habits permit them to.
