Survey: which company makes better car in terms gas mileage & efficiency, asian, american or european co.?

Asian cars are more dependable and economical

Survey: which company makes better car in terms gas mileage %26amp; efficiency, asian, american or european co.?
Germans- Volkswagon diesels run forever and get up to 50 MPG.
Reply:Asian for sure. Europeans are on second place.
Reply:Hello,





you can't compare them, for they are fullfilling completely different demands. american cars are usually, larger, heavier and better equipped, so they can't compete in economy with the other two categories. European and Asian cars are closer to each other, for the they belong to the same market segment. In gas mileage, diesels are hard to beat, when this is the only aspect of the comparison. Asian cars however, have a better reliability, for Asian automobile manufacturers have no preconceptions on design issues, so they don't have 'landmarks', they make the most rational design decisions for the sake of 100% fulfilling custom/traditional expectations.
Reply:Honda (Japan), KIA/Hyundai (Korea), and SMART (British) get pretty good fuel mileage, in general, but it still varies from model to model.

Survey says - when was the last time your car was hit?

and whose fault was it?


Me - 3 weeks ago today, I came out of an appointment to see a cop with an elderly man by my car. Fender bender at its best - geez. I find out later the full extent when my kids come walking up the driveway with my molding ........... :( .... he hit the bumper, hit the parking light and cracked the case, pushed the whole casing to the right into the grill, snapping the grill, and pushed the right parking light out of its socket like an eyeball.





i felt bad for the old guy, i could have blown him out like a match, he was shaking so much.

Survey says - when was the last time your car was hit?
This monday.A bus bumped into my car from behind at the traffic lights.Broke her rearlights and gave a couple of scratches.
Reply:Last Sunday.





The passenger's door (behind the driver) got hit very badly, it was just two-inches open and a mini bus passed by and hit it.





They said it's my fault, but gave the mini bus a speeding ticket.
Reply:Never! :-)
Reply:Been a VERY long time for me on a car being hit. I had a work motorcycle get hit twice really bad. The last time it totalled the bike.


The first time I was on it and it did 2,600 dollars damage to the bike and about 10,000 to me after I got ejected and then hit by the car!
Reply:well it happened while i was in the car twice. during Christmas last year. we were on a part of the freeway where many cars have crashed and this guy didn't even put his signal and the lady next to him didn't see it when she changed lanes so she hit us,but it wasn't that bad. then before that this little car which was really low and we backed up and hit it. nothing happened to the dumb car and the guy wanted his whole front part removed so he could get a new one when nothing had happened to it. we told him we'll settle it with the insurance and he didn't have any so he was offered money and he didn't want it. he wanted more than what it was really worth. i felt bad for the guy but c'mon it was his fault. over here where i live the teenagers are into those type of cars that are really low.
Reply:Mine was about 2 years ago. I was pulling into my friends driveway (he lived off the hwy) and I noticed that an older van was behind me not slowing down. I said "You better slow down man" and looked back at the road to pull in. The man in the van behind me didn't slow down. He hit me at 55 mph and spun my car into my friends driveway, my car hit 3 other parked cars. The van flipped over right beside my car! It was intense! I didn't get hurt...just had some muscle spasms and a totaled car in the end. The guy was drunk and ended up running off and we never found him. The van he was driving was stolen.
Reply:Totalled out in front of my house by a drunk.





Oh the irony!
Reply:well i don't have that car anymore but it was about 2 months ago my sister was leaving and reversed right into my car what a dumb azz oh yeah and with the same car the same thing happened two weeks after i got it by my friends drunk azz bf but it was alright b/c everyone was wasted. all the other accidents i've had were b/c of me and i hit them.
Reply:last week! first like 3 months ago this guy was backing out of my driveway and didnt follow the driveway just went straight back and smashed into the right side of my car. i got it fixed and last week my neighbor backed into the same EXACT spot! i wasnt in the car either time.

thanks alot for your answers!!!!!!!!!!

Survey please answer!!! ( only if you drive a car)?
I spend about $80 a month.





I drive my car every day, sometimes 30 minutes one day and some days an hour or two. It just depends on what all I have to do and where I have to go.
Reply:I drive 72 miles one way every day, six days a week.





On average it is about 3 hours in the car a day.

Imagine if you can 65,000 trucks for a single company how much they are paying for fuel. No wonder everything is so expensive anymore.
Reply:i drive daily on average about 30 minutes a day. I spend about $250 a month.
Reply:I drive 18 miles per day to work and then back home again. I typically go through one tank of gas every week and a half. I typically dont drive a whole lot on weekends, so it helps me save some for the next week. It costs me anywhere between $27 and $34 to fill up depending on gas prices. Im in the car a little over an hour each day during the work week and rarely on weekends.

Survey: What was the crappiest car you ever had to drive?

a 1984 honda accord with a big dent in the side of it and the muffler ripped off so it sounded like a harley. everybody was staring at me and i was so embarrassed. and the second worse one was a volkswagen bus that kept stalling at every intersection so the ppl behind me would get all pissed off and start honking and threatening me.





there are worse ones ive had to ride in but those are the only bad ones ive driven.

Survey: What was the crappiest car you ever had to drive?
A Mitsubishi Tredia...Never had seen one before nor since...


I think I know why...





But it got me from point A to point B avoiding point C (C for Cars) often enough...
Reply:LOL...my first car was an 86 VW Golf. Yeah I bought it for like $600 when I was 16.
Reply:LOL ... where do I start?





I had a '76 Ford Torino with the whole electrical system was hooked up to a switch. If you forgot to flip the switch before turning the key it wouldn't start, and if you didn't flip it back when you got out you'd wake up the next morning to a dead battery.





I also had a Chevette. It had a top speed of 40 mph ... any higher than that and it would start to shake so hard you couldn't stand it. And I had to take a 50mph road to get to work every day ... It was a curvy, hilly two lane road too, you should have seen the daredevil stunts people behind me would do to get around me LOL.





But nothing tops the car a friend of mine had. Another Chevette ... which was lucky for him because the car didn't go into reverse. His girlfriend worked with me, and I'd watch him drop her off at work every day. The lot was too narrow to drive around ... so he'd have to get out of the car and push it backwards so he could get back out. It was fun to watch.

Reply:An unair-conditioned, standard four-gear manual transmission, no power steering, 4 cylinder, no power anything, not even brakes in a tiny Toyota Corolla. I live in Texas where it gets way hotter than hades. I got a little bit sweaty from time-to-time, but at least I had an FM radio and fantastic gas mileage. I was always a little bit wind-blown (when there was any) going back and forth to college and to my part-time job. I probably looked like I had been riding in an open


convertible or on a motorcyle. The car had no dents, no rust, no missing paint or anything, just no get-up-and-go and no a/c. So, perhaps it was not quite as bad as those that drove Yugos. At least I wasn't losing parts as I drove it. But I did have to put some towels on those high-class vinyl seats to keep from burning my backside and legs. LOL. ;)


One good thing about my Toyota Corolla (no frills or extras at all -- just basic car)...it sure held it's value. I paid the dealer $2,500.00


cash for it and I got $2,500.00 cash when I sold it two years later, so I really didn't lose any money on it and did not put that many miles on it, to be honest. I was just uncomfortable until I bought a brand new car with a few power gadgets and a wonderfully cold air conditioner that also got great gas mileage. ☺ Did you ever have one of those "really crappy" cars, Bunny?

Reply:It was a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am. We paid entirely too much for it from a shady used dealership. The thing had 300,000 miles on it. Eventually the A/C stopped working and we had to put water in it several times a day, then the driver's side window got stuck open so we had to close a big trash bag in the window so the rain wouldn't get in. Finally, the car just died after we'd had it for about three years. It was a piece of crap...but I sort of miss that car...

SURVEY on how you would cope with an increase in gasoline prices?

How much would you be willing to spend (maximum) on gasonline (in US dollars)?


Also in what ways would you adjust your life to compensate for the increase in gasoline, such as:





Buy more efficient car


Public Transportation


Sacrifice other activities financially to compensate for budget constraints


Other





This is a survey for my pyschological class, thanks for your opionion!

SURVEY on how you would cope with an increase in gasoline prices?
I guess this depends on the price increase. I would still purchase gas to some degree even if it spiked another few dollars, but I would begin using it as sparingly as possible.





Buying a more efficient car wouldn't be feasible for me.


Public transport might also rise in price, but I would definitely use it.


I'd ride my bicycle a lot more, since I can get almost anywhere I need to on it.
Reply:The increase in gas prices has economically determined that it is more cost effective for me to remain unemployed rather than seek a career in the finance/ mutual fund industry.





I had hoped to return to work after a real long sabbatical. The commute to work is 22 miles. During rush hour this commute averages 1.25 hours to get to work and 1.25 hours to get home totaling 2.50 hours per day. At a salary receiving $25.00/hour I am wasting $75.00 per day in traffic. Additionally, the increase in gas prices add an additional $5-7.50 per day. So the total cost to get to work daily is about $82.00. So after tax earnings are $140.00 less commute costs $82.00 making my total earning $62.00 a day.





The alternative choice is to work near my home. This area does not have work specializing in my profession ... so the alternative is to look at less paying jobs with less commute time and gas used. Turns out that working minimum wage earns me about the same without the grief of dealing with rush hour.





As you see it is not the price of gas that is the bulk of this decision but the condition of the highway systems and commerce in the USA.





------


*


$25.00 per hour paid times 8 hours = $200.00 per day


In the 30% tax braket we take out $60.00 (200.00 *.3) leaving take home pay at $140.00 per day.
Reply:I think higher gas prices are good. Plus, I lived in Tokyo for a while, so US gas still seems reasonable to me. I think up to around $6 per gallon is acceptable.





I'd probably buy a hybrid vehicle, although I already use public transportation and walking to get to and from work. I'd just use it more, for shopping trips and grocery trips.





My biggest concern is the impact on heating my home. I live up north, and my home is 80 years old. We've put in modern insulation and windows and have a modern boiler and a tankless water heater, but it's still not as energy-efficient as a modern house. We'd probably end up doing something like adding a wood burning stove to increase the heating while keeping bills down.
Reply:Other.





As a Canadian, I would b*tch and moan and then head to the gas station to bend over and fill'er up!





My maximum has already been surpassed. I started resenting the price when it hit $1.00CDN/L
Reply:dont waste gas...
Reply:I'd walk everywhere.
Reply:Personal mobility is almost essential for an acceptable quality of life in our society, as the gas companies well know. They are using this to bleed us all dry!





To those who say it is okay because it costs more in other places, I would have to say,


Does that mean I should consider it okay for someone to shoot me with a 22 caliber bullet just because someone else, somewhere else, is getting shot with a 38?


Does that mean that because someone broke BOTH of somebody else's legs, I should let them break ONE of mine?


I think NOT!


Thugs who rob people from their leather-upholstered chairs in the boardroom are NO better than those who ambush their prey in dark, inner-city alleys, and I will NOT willingly volunteer to be victimized by them any more than I would walk through a garbage-filled alley at 1:30am and shout "Hey, here I am! I'm unarmed and I'm carrying lots of cash!"


Somehow, the fact that somebody else is getting ripped off and tolerating it, just does NOT inspire me to submit with good graces to a similar, but slightly lesser rip-off!


As my boyfriend always says, "RIGHT is right, but WRONG is nobody's friend!"





As to what I'd do, well, I might consider going back to riding a motorcycle. When I lived in warmer and drier climates, I rode motorcycles for 22 years before I ever learned to drive a car. Since I learned how to drive 4-wheeled enclosed vehicles, I have almost completely stuck with them and am decades out of practice with the motorbikes, now. However, I could be economically forced to go back to my former, riskier, means of personal transit.


I really hope this does not happen, though, because I live in the Pacific Northwest now where the climate is not exactly conducive to the year-around use of open, unsheltered transit devices.

if that car travels at the speed of light, they WOULDNT put front lights at the front of the cars in the first place!

nothing can go faster than the speed of light, if i was already moving at the maximum speed, then I shouldn't see anything at all.

Would you be more apt to buy a car from a dealership that was awarded for customer service?

More specifically would you be more likely to buy a car from a dealership that successfully passed a "secret shopper survey" from a non-affiliated/non-bias "watch dog group", that went in as a customer and rated them. As apposed to Ford sending someone to a Ford dealership to survey the dealership. Moreover, would you be willing to go to a website and search specifically in your area for a reputable dealership that you can trust?

Would you be more apt to buy a car from a dealership that was awarded for customer service?
I see where this is going. You are trying to get an opinion survey to see if there is a market for an independent secret shopper. Let me know if it works. I am in the car business, and I can say that I do think it is important to purchase a car from a dealer that can pass those types of surveys. Most could not, but that does not necessarily mean they are ruthless lying bastards. However, if there is a dealer that can pass these surveys, it would go a long way in drawing customers. Contrary to popular belief, price does not always sell cars.
Reply:hey, superman, if you wanna buy a car it should be about how they treat you, not what the public perception is. if you go into a dealership and they treat you with respect and listen to your needs and meet or exceeded them that's the dealership for you. i never listen to what the popular opinion is about anything, that leaves me with the question of, am i conforming or am i basing my own opinion. to many liberals take way to much time scrutinizing every thing that everybody should do or shouldn't do. do what makes you feel good and don't conform. if you want to follow every little guideline set by the liberals than you will never feel like you made your own decision on anything.
Reply:If you are lookin at a new car , buy it from a local dealer , just shop around for price , you get your car fixed at a local shop that you bought it from they are better at getting you in and small stuff like a loaner if you need it , Used car shopping go with you r better instinct and research and ask prior customers of their opinion
Reply:buying from a reputable dealership is always important for me, personally, but what's equally important is price...
Reply:mario, you are too quick for me today!





listen, bub, ya wanna buy a car from someone you trust, right?





go to a dealership. it's sorta luck of the draw which salesman comes to help you out, but, that is not the only lot around, is it?


my point is this: good dealerships can hire bad people, bad dealerships can hire good people, and a secret shopper survey, while nice, is really grading only ONE person's performance, and averaging it for the whole business.





i assure you, most guys in the car business have families, bills, and a conscience just like you do. we are not trying to take advantage of you, but we ARE trying to give our families a confortable existence. find a guy that is WORTH a few extra dollars, and let him EARN your business.


would go a long way toward continued happiness once you have a few dings and battle scars on your new car if your salesman actually remembers your name, wouldn't it?





ask your friends and families for a personal referral for the guy they bought their car from. if they would go back to him, perhaps he does the job right!

What's the best muscle car to start with for a beginner?

I'm taking a survey for a class and the question is: What's the best muscle car for someone to buy as their first muscle car and why? No rules. Any year. Any make. Any model.

What's the best muscle car to start with for a beginner?
I would say a second generation (1970-1981) Camaro or Trans Am. They are very easy to find, cheap and still have good power. Especially for a beginner you don't want a 69 or anything worth alot of money. But it still has to be a muscle car no no V6's. They never have and never will be considered a muscle car. A muscle car is a car with two doors and a very good power to weight ratio.
Reply:It depends on your wealth and what you can afford. A Mustang is traditional muscle car beginner material, but if I had not rules any make any model, I'd just get a Ferrari.
Reply:Late 60s-early 70s Nova.
Reply:ohhhh. i would have to say the first generation camaro.(67-69).. This was around the time that muscle cars were being born.... they were sleek and were full of horses. They today are classics and highly sought after. And needless to say this was back in the day when performance came from the motor and not aftermarket chips and crap like that!


oh and dodge killer .... he said someones first muscle car he didnt say an age!
Reply:70 Chevy Nova, cheap to start with and you can build it insane!
Reply:A v6 mustang or camero. It would not be a good idea to give a beginner to much power, or they might kill themselves.
Reply:Well, assuming the standard definition of a muscle car, being a car in the 64-early 70's range, basic car with a lot of engine stuffed under the hood... hmmmm. I would say there are a lot of Pontiacs running around like the tri-power bonnevilles that were kinda sleeper cars, but great power, and not TOO expensive to buy, very luxurious and comfortable.

Survey ~ When buying a car, do you choose mainly on looks or fuel efficiency???

well i've only bought one car so far, but it's a Honda Civic and i do remember that we chose it largely due to it's good gas mileage. but i think it looks pretty good too!

Survey ~ When buying a car, do you choose mainly on looks or fuel efficiency???
How much it costs is usually my first thought
Reply:It's like choosing a lover. You either see one that attracts you, or you go the dating agency route and search for a criteria. I personally don't like the dating agency approach. I think it should be an "across a crowded room" eyes meeting instant attraction. The fact that you then find out that it bleeds you dry is a trade off you live with.





The concept that you have a list of wants and you find something that fits, is as abhorrent as actually using a dating agency, because I am wise enough to know that I don't know what I want until I see it. So me going and looking for something that ticks boxes I think I need will ultimately lead to me ending up with something that doesn't excite me. Something safe.

as fuel effient vehicles for commutting over a 20 yr period
Reply:Neither. Price verses condition is the deciding factor. Let's face it. With the price of cars exceeding the cost of a modest home, working folk do not have that luxury. Our cars and trucks range from 8-15 years old. We have to buy the best thing we can find at the price we can afford to pay. If you can afford a new car loan/lease in this day and age you are indeed privileged.
Reply:fooks
Reply:Neither. first comes practicality (we have two dogs, my wife can only drive an automatic, and we need something to carry shopping, compost for the garden and all manner of large items) then comes running costs, which are related to fuel efficiency, and looks come last.





The car I drive to work has it all, it's practical, semi automatic, does 50 to 60 mpg, group 2 insurance, £35 per year road tax and it looks good. (and the dogs will fit in the back)

How do you increase automotive service customer satisfation survey response rates?

When a customer brings their car in for service, about a month afterwards, the customer will receive a customer satisfaction survey to rate the dealerships performance. Dealerships HIGHLY DEPEND on these surveys to enable them to continue to provide their customers with outstanding performance. How can you increase the response rates for these surveys. A month end drawing for free oil changes was attempted, but with no avail. I have a meeting coming up next week and I would love to have some sort of proposal. Our customers always leave the dealership satisfied, so how can I get them to follow through with their surveys?

How do you increase automotive service customer satisfation survey response rates?
It is just a relationship kind of thing.





just a thing that comes in mind.:-





1) give some sort of gift, a small gift may be a choclate, or something dealer can afford, when ur employee gets survey form filled up with the customer.





2)it should be very small kind with not too much questions.





3) definetly a charming face with realistic smile in face should be appointed for this work.





4) place some kind of thoughts made with help of cartoons related to the benifits customers get with survey, place it on the walls where customer is asked to sit or in the lounge, where customer have good interface with those messages.
Reply:One of the issues may be that you are waiting a month to send them the survey. Why wait so long? Give them a survey before they leave. Better yet send them a note the next day or two thanking them for their service and asking for their feedback. Also, make sure your service and counter people tell your customers to expect the survey and that their feedback is VERY important to you. That is also an opportunity, during service delivery, to tell the customer that you want them to be satisfied and ask if there is anything you can do at that moment to make their experience more satisfying. I think gifts or special offers are nice, but not as needed as a survey that is delivered closer to the delivery of service and a culture that honestly and frequently asks for customer feedback. Good luck!
Reply:You should always "give them something for their effort".


It could be a coupon for a free tire rotation, or 10% off an oil change etc. In other words intice the consumer to get involved.


I think giving a free oilchange would intice most as it is something we need to do every 3 months. It is a low cost job to you, but it saves the consumer $25.


How you would do this practically is something you will have to figure out - it could be done this way: They fill out the survey and bring it with them for the next oilchange... you check and see it has been filled out and then put it in a box - "don't read it" as most prefere to be anonymous... And then give them their oil change.

Is there a law about the confidentiality when you file a survey?

I bought a car from a big car company and about a month after they sent me a survey about the customer service. I answered and wrote that the manager was a bit arrogant and explained why. This survey was supposed to be confidential but I got a call today from the manager asking me why I wrote bad comment and everything!!! What can I do? They weren't supposed to tell them who wrote the comments. Thanks for helping me!

Wow! I would contact the higher ups of the company! Those are supposed to be confidential!

Survey for women: Would you still find me super-sexy hott if I drove an electric car?

I think it is the right thing to do, but currently available electric cars are way goofy looking. Driving one of them would be the equivalent of riding a pink bicycle with colored streamers on the handle and a little license plate with my name on it.





On the other hand, perhaps I make everything look good.

Paid surveys are a very popular way for people to make extra cash and win prizes quite easily and with little risk.

In fact, paid surveys are so popular that some of the top survey companies are paying out close to 1 million dollars a month. Here are some gurus secrets to maximizing your paid survey earnings and fun.

They're all reliable and I've never had a problem with them. (I've been doing them for a year now) The best part is that anyone can do them and they're easy. You won't get rich but they definitely help with bills :)





2. Btw a lot of the ones above are spammers and I wouldn't trust them
Reply:Most online survey sites are scams. Never ever pay to join a survey site. There are legitimate survey sites out there, however you will usually only be able to make around 10-15 dollars a month per site (and that is a good month). The truth is, there is no one out there that is willing to pay you a lot of money for filling out surveys all day.





Below is a partial list of legitimate online survey companies:





Survey Savvy


Haris Poll Online


Greenfield Online


Opinion Outpost


Survey Spot


Buzzback

Lightspeed Panel

Reply:There are certainly many hundreds of research companies willing to pay you to assist them with their research, but contrary to some of what you may have heard, you won't be making hundreds from each survey. In fact you're unlikely to earn more than $5 per survey and will usually earn in the region of $100-$200 a month.





Companies like GlobalTestMarket, IPSOS, Valued Opinions and MySurvey.com are very active and pay you a reasonable rate for your opinion. Othes like Pinecone and ACOP pay well but have a policy of only inviting you to one survey every month/6 weeks to ensure a good cross section of participants.





If you want to make regular money, you can't just sign up with a couple of panels. Visit one of the free online directories like http://www.whichsurveys.com and work through the list for your country, signing up for as many as you can.

SURVEY : do you find a need to make your car look sporty - trimmings / graphics / mag wheels -where do you liv
It depends on the vehicle. If it's a basic work truck, I'll leave it alone, except for maybe some better tires and wheels. An old muscle car would get some mags and, if it was offered with one, a factory spoiler. Something that I'd auto-cross would get wheels and low-profile tires, but still look fairly sedate. A custom mini-truck would, of course, get big billet wheels and low-profile tires, and maybe some wild graphics. My idea of a good sound system is a nice-sounding exhaust.





So, generally, I believe that less is more and form follows function.
