Replying to: lexusguy (Jan 11, 2009 10:01 pm) Wow! If this comes to fruition, I'll be paying very close attention. However, if Audi chooses to limit the availability and keep the price way up, as the've done with the gas A3, that'll certainly limit my enthusiasm. I became enamored of modern diesels by driving a rental A3 with the 1.9 litre diesel across Germany back in '01. Maybe something similar will come over here in, what, a bit under 10 years. Or not. In any event, thanks for the info. |

Replying to: circlew (Jan 12, 2009 4:01 am) Zainostore.com, chock full of information. My take? Somewhat expensive, a bit time consuming, smells good, great long lasting shine! Probably best appreciated on darker colors. Oh, yeah. And you can apply it to almost any surface, less worry about getting it on black plastic or rubber parts as with conventional waxes. On the EW's car, I simply use Black Magic which makes her white RX shine rather nicely, too. I guess I just don't share the love (to share my Zaino!) for her SUV-ish thing vs. my rather lovely TL!

Replying to: lexusguy (Jan 11, 2009 10:01 pm) It's all speculation at this point. But in my case it better be confirmed soon or else by November 2009 I will be buying another model. The A3 is just too tiny for my needs. A Honda Fit has far more passenger and cargo space than a Audi A3 despite its smaller size. |

I've driven various FWD cars in snow without snow tires and always got where I wanted to go. I dont need AWD since almost 100 percent of my driving is in the city. FWD + Snow Tires is sufficient for me at this point of time.

Replying to: dewey (Jan 12, 2009 10:25 am) Our California weather is a blessing, but January is usually one of the worst months. It is so perfectly nice out again today, it's almost freakish... Sunny, in the 70's. BTW, I was reviewing the Honda Fit on the Honda website earlier, and I think it's an incredibly versatile vehicle. And, no prestige factor whatsoever, which makes it even more desireable, IMO. It's genuine functionality at its best. The upcoming hybrid version should prove to be an incredible vehicle. TM

Btw, any recommendation on good leather treatment? To bring back the shine and smell that is.

Replying to: m4d_cow (Jan 12, 2009 12:13 pm) In addition to Zaino products, I use Griot's Garage products, for both exterior and interior. They are fantastic. They have the best assortment of superior microfiber towels anywhere. Their latest Speed Shine blue microfiber towels may very well be the softest towels on the planet. Their cleaning and detail products are awesome. The slight advantage I would give Zaino is with their paint protection products. They go on and off so easily and last longer than anything else out there. But, you would not go wrong with Griot's Garage products at all. Some of them are a "must have". TM |
