        Annette Dutton Info : Have all fluids checked, including brake, power steering, transmission/transaxle, windshield washer solvent and antifreeze. These fluids play a large role in the safety and performance of the vehicle. Check tire inflation. Under-inflated tires can result in a loss of fuel efficiency. This is the least expensive form of preventive and safety maintenance. Tires should be checked once a month. Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent. Have the chassis lubricated frequently. This step extends the life of the moving components of the vehicle's suspension system.

"Throne" would be a better term, as the cushion is so high that rear passengers will feel as though they're looking down on those in front.

Yet headroom somehow remains ample, and legroom is adequate even when sitting behind 6-footers.
