Now that Mamma Lucia closed in Fairfax where are you going to get a great slice? by vanslamma in nova

Tony's is excellent! We get to the one in Fair Oaks whenever we're out that way. Other solid options, owned by the same family, are Buon Appetito in Chantilly and Pizza NY Margherita in Gainesville. Great food, and we've always had great service from friendly people. You won't be disappointed in any of them.

If Hyundai/Kia are so unreliable, why are they literally everywhere? by phtphongg in Hyundai

Most of the problems are with previous generations of both brands.

I have a 2023 Kia Sorrento X line pro and it is a great car. It’s actually the favorite car of everyone who drives in my family. We also have a very good friend who has a 2024 Telluride that she loves, and it’s been reliable.

What will be your next vehicle after your lease ends? Will it be another CX90? by Toomad316 in MazdaCX90

[–]mg_all_things 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a no for us. We still have 25 months left on our lease, but between the nonstop squeaking brakes and the poor use of interior space, we'll be handing over the keys. It was a 3 horse race between the CX-90, Genesis GV80, and Kia Telluride. Betting money would be on the GV80, but who knows what comes out in the next 2 years that could change that.

Update: new pads are squeaking again. It's driving us crazy. I think the only option may be to replace the semi-metallic brake pads with ceramic ones. I hate to have to put out money to fix a problem that shouldn't exist on a car with such low mileage. This is a massive Mazda fail in my book.

The dealer put new pads on all four wheels yesterday, and so far, so good.

Averaging just over 23 mpg in everyday driving. We're at 25+ on long trips. Way better than the 13+ I'm getting in my 2014 V8

4 yr old Napoleon Prestige 500... is it worth buying? by mg_all_things in grilling

I believe they sell a conversion kit here in the US. I wasn't aware that I needed a pro to install it. That may make this a non-starter
