Re: smell burning

I've read that if you have a ford focus, u dont want to park it in your garage.... They're fireprone also.

a few years ago i woke up to a big boom.
it was the neighbors ford focus blowing up.
it had a fire going under the hood and it caused the tire to blow.
the fire coming out of the wheelwell was igniting the siding of their house.
the boom woke them up too.
i busted the drivers window and released the brake so it rolled down the driveway into the street.
btw that thing had so many problems in the first year they called it the ford fuckus.
i could always tell when they came home by the transmission whine as they went by.at least it was a manual and easy to knock it to neutral and roll it away from the house!

Re: smell burning

Daewoo should stick to making guns, at least they go boom when you want them to go boom...

Aveo is a suzuki...

GMC is really in the crapper...

I rarely buy domestics, they are like BIC lighters, use em and throw em away...

I drive a Toyota PU truck and a Subaru legacy...the Subaru has 1/4 million miles on it.

Re: smell burning

yeh you are all right, there is a suzuki connection

It began life as a Daewoo product but when GM bought the company the Swift+/Aveo was updated mechanically by Suzuki, given a style refresher by Italy's Giugiaro/ItalDesign, had its development overseen by General Motors engineers in Detroit. A global product if there ever was one! Suzuki, in case, you're not aware, is also a GM subsidiary

lol........makes your head spin

Sad they cant build a car today.... There's some focus ricers around here, all claiming their focuses will make short work of my Twin Turbo........ Of course none step up to the plate...

A friend of mine bought his wife a brand new focus wagon back in 03 I believe, and he rattled off all the recalls one night.... WHOA..... GARBAGE!

Re: smell burning

afaik only the gm x cars had more recalls.

Re: smell burning

i thought they were suzuki's

I knew that was true (the engines) with the Metros. Does the same apply to the Aveos?

Re: smell burning




Top is the Chevy, bottom is the Suzuki...probably the same thing...or an OEM's product

Re: smell burning

I like how the suzuki has more trunk (or rear hatch space)... The Chevy looks bizarre with the rear wheels that close to the back of the car: really enhances the "roller-skate" look.

I am on my third toyota PU (last one went 250K with zero probs). My fun car is a supercharged miata.
