Five tips for making a car last
2000 onward
Build a good relationship with your car; inspect it for several hours after driving.
2001 onward
Choose a shop for its reliability, character, and knowledge—not one that only pushes replacement parts.
2002 onward
Inspect everything from the engine to the underside; there is almost always something that needs attention.
3. Choose parts carefully. 4. Replace consumables before they fail. 5. Make a habit of driving smoothly.
2004 onward
Expensive does not always mean better. Do not rely only on reputation; try parts and judge them yourself.
2008 onward
2005 onward
Replace trouble-prone parts such as the airflow meter and fuel pump before they cause problems.
2009 onward
2010 onward
Treat the suspension and other components carefully; consider replacement parts before the car is scrapped.
