  1. Starting tantrums can signal few of the below failing components: BATTERY: As rightly mentioned by chaplin above. STARTER MOTOR / SELF: As rightly mentioned by chaplin above. SPARK PLUGS: If spark plug of any cylinder is getting black and reduce the required margin, then also it will make few empty cranks before other cylinder spark helps starting the car. Get all spark plug checked and replace if needed (most easiest fix). IGNITION COILS: Get the ignition coil checked of delivering enough current to spark plug to produce right amount of spark. If coils or one of the coil gets weak then it result in weaker spark and start the car with difficulty. FUEL FILTER: If you have never changed the fuel filter, then get it change soon as if fuel filter start getting blocked and suffocating the fuel coming out it builds a few seconds delay in throwing the fuel towards the engine and cause that extra cranks. In this case you must be also feeling slight slow response or delay when you hit the full throttle and car runs fine but after few blips. FUEL PUMP: When fuel pump tend to age it reduces the fuel pressure and that's where when you start the car with zero fuel pressure it takes couple of attempt to build the required fuel pressure. Check if fuel pressure working fine or not. Next time, open the hood before starting the car, and just turn the key half way (dont start the car) if you hear whining noise for 15-30 seconds and it ends with click mean fuel pump is working fine. You can locate a shrader valve on fuel line and it should read close to 30 psi. If its lower that will explain that fuel pump is struggling. And if that whining noise run for more than 30 seconds then again it means fuel pump is struggling to build adequate pressure and taking that extra time.
  2. Subaru being very rare brand here in Dubai, you might have difficulty in getting service and buying spares like hen's teeth. Stick to Japanese (Honda, Honda, Honda, Toyota, Nissan) or Koreans (Hyundai, Kia).
  3. Interesting news to know more incredible stuff about Honda, just curious though what's the co-relation from cars - lawn mowers lol. I will google some history connection when i am free.
  4. Do you mean to ask for Accord 2013 model? Yes you are right its similar to 2008 model but comes with beautiful 3D tail-lamps, new cosmetic face-lift and better interior options than 2012 model. I am not sure what you mean by all rounder here, as in what sense? Speed + Luxury + Comfort + Space + Reliability. Yes it has all of the above - speed, as i still feel Altima is faster than Accord in top speed and 0-100 kmph/seconds, whereas Altima don't have elegance and stance of Accord.
  5. The belt of my jazz has got loose even on sudden impact i go i bit ahead and then the seatbelt kicks in.how should this be fixed.
  6. there was no idling only humming from front engine.
  7. When the car stays on in a stationery position i hear a light humming noise after 15 to 20 min. not sure though where its coming from. What should be done now
