Are you doing mostly highway driving or is there a trick to getting higher mileage than what the manufacturer suggested? I just got mine and haven't started...
Sorry, I thought everyone knew my story, being one of only a couple of mileage freaks on the list :-). I have an 11 mile back-road commute with speeds about...
Thanks, your mileage is very encouraging. I'm new to the list and new to the Matrix. And I haven't had the time to read the past emails. Thanks for repeating...
Well, the quality of these photos is really, really crappy, so sorry about that, but it will give you the idea. See: http://homepage.mac.com/sjonke/ipodmatrix/...
I tried to pick up a Haynes repair manual for the Matrix and it turns out that they didn't make one (soon, I hope). Is there another repair manual around...

I have an 88 GL, water-cooled, gas engine and the switch was simply a switch to control the rear defroster heater lines. Basically an on/off. It's no more...

I am going to be ordering summer tyres from Tire Rack. I know what ones I'm getting so I don't need help with that. Can I put a wider tyre on the rims that it...
... They are already plenty wide, I don't see any (good) reason to go wider. Wider = worse mileage, more cost, easier to hydroplane, what else? Just my 2...
Won't wider tyres give me better traction in the snow and ice? I am hopefully moving to NH (I got the pre-approval for the mortgage and am putting an official ...
Actually narrower is better for snow and ice, they dig in and grip rather than sliding over the top. You are better off getting a set of steel wheels with snow...
I'll confirm that what David says is indeed the standard wisdom on this. Wider is better for dry, slightly wet it doesn't matter much, but for really wet...
Thanks a bunch, Steve! This really does help me weigh my decisions. I see that the ProClip is somewhat angled toward the driver. That's cool. I thought it...

Ok. In that case it would be beneficial to stay at the OEM's recommended tire size....for the 16" steel or aluminum rims and that size is 205/55-R16...
Yes, all 4 corners get snow tires. Rear end traction is very important for maintaining control when stopping and cornering. Without snow tires in the rear...
