questions

So, the wife and I are heading on vacation to her family in Michigan next week and she wants to haul an antique steamer trunk and some chairs back. Trying to choose between doing a roof rack with a cargo basket, or having a hitch installed and doing a small uhaul trailer. I have already had...

Hi All, I'm still deciding whether to go forward with buying a Gen or fixing up and continuing my 8 years old black Altima 3.5SL. I'm still familiarizing with the Gen and am puzzled by a few things about it: 1. It seems like the majority go with black exterior. Is this like the trendiest and...

Hi Guys, I have a few questions: 1) HID Lights - Can anyone link me to a vendor with the exact ones I should buy and are reputable? I want the lights to be as close to the white led strip as possible. ----------------------------- 2) Fog lights - I want to purchase something for these as well...

I'm really thinking hard about trading in my Pontiac G8 for a Genny. Nothing wrong with the G8, but I'm looking to get into something more luxurious (but still sporty). After a lot of looking, I narrowed my search down to a Genny, and I think it'll be a 2009 V6. In my local search, I found...

So, this past week, I picked up a 2011 Genesis Sedan, 4.6, Black/Black. I have some experience with modding and with auto message boards, so I've been doing some searches while lurking. From that, I've ordered a new steering wheel badge and trunk badge. Nevertheless, perhaps I'm just getting...

OK - am completely stumped and have been trying for 2 weeks! I want to enter several addresses so that when I am ready to drive to that destination, I can simply navigate there. How do I do this? I can use voice or do it manually but need the steps to do this and how to save this info as well...

My 2001 BMW 530 (sport suspension and manual tranny) is long in the tooth at 142K miles and no longer economical to repair. I test drove a 2012 3.8 Genesis last weekend and the car is at the top of the list over other models and makes. I am leaning toward a 2009 4.6 with around 30K miles over...

2010 vs. 2011 V8 questions - which car to buy? I have 2 quick questions: 1. Are there any suspension improvements/benefits on the 2011 V8 vs. 2010 V8? 2. I can buy a 2010 V8, single owner prestine condition with 9k miles for $28,500 or a 2011 V8 new (demo) with 3k miles for $32,000. Which...

Just bought the 12 2.ot rspec coupe & need some direction on mods to beef up hp? was first thinking intake & exhaust, then sending ecu to Jet to re program with added mods. Any idea on how much I will gain from this or other reccommendations on mods not to exceed $2K? I thank you in advance.

i just got a black automatic w/paddle shiffters 2.0t coupe about 3 months ago and i love the car but would really like to modify it with new exhaust cold air intake bov chip and etc etc...i never modified a car before is there certain steps that you have to do? do you put the cold air intake...

Does anybody know what this is :confused: If you remove the motor cover this is visible. I have no idea what it is or what it’s propose is. Looks like a hot air box to draw hot air off engine during periods before engine comes up to temp. I also changed the filter in the air box and if you put...

Hi again all, Thanks to lots of research (since 2009) and doing several test drives I know exactly which car (3.8, Tech, Titanium/Black) I will buy. But, a couple of negotiating questions: 1. I signed up for the Motozuma account which does not become active until Nov. 15. Should I begin the...

I've been looking for a Genesis (black/black with Tech) for about 4 months and finally found one (albeit 245 miles away). It's a certified 2009 4.6 with 35k miles for ~$25,500. Carfax is clean, 1 owner, etc. First Q: I'm in MN, and there is a lack of Genny's for sale here. Is this a good...

Hi - new owner of 2012 Genesis 3.8 (tech/prem pkg). I have a few questions about ethanol I haven't seen answered in all of the posts I searched here. 1) Disregarding performance or mpg - is there any reason to use non-ethanol fuel? for example, I know that in mowers, ethanol can cause...

1. After two days on my new 2012 4.6 Genesis Navtraffic stopped working. How do I get the trial for NavTraffic to work? Do I have to call Sirrius or is this done by dealer? 2. Will NavTraffic reroute directions or just tell me there is upcoming traffic? 3. Do users of NavTraffic feel it is...

Hey my first post. I'm starting my new car shopping but in no hurry to purchase immediately since my current Acura TL-S is still running great. I'm starting my search with Genesis since it made big news when it first came out few years ago about being a great car for value and seems to be...

Okay I am a newbie here but I really would like some advice/help. I just bought a 4.6 Genesis Sedan and I LOVE IT. I never imagined that such great value and comfort could be got at such a bargain (relatively of course). Thing is, I bought the car used rather than new, and so it is a 2010 with...

My first post and wanted to say Hello and thanks for all the input been reading a lot. I want to give you some background on myself as a driver. List of cars First car 1981 Trans Am 6.6 (first car I bought) Sold 1981 Mercury Cougar XR7 (ran this thing to the ground... dumb teenage years) Sold...

As this is my first post on this forum, I'm hoping it will generate some interest. We just bought my wife a new Equus a couple of weeks ago and have been LOVING it. She upgraded from a Volvo C30, which in turn allowed me to trade my Panamera S for an actual sports car (Carrera GTS). But...
