@ Knowing your Limits :

HUDs are starting to appear as a fitted standard on some Mazda's, and available as optional extras on a lot of the other German brands.

Agree we spend too much time looking at dials, when we should be looking ahead. Fixed cameras are to blame for a lot of that behaviour.

I found the Mazda HUD very good - the newer versions also (in addition to just the speed) have a speed limit warning system - I think it tell you of any change in speed limit, not sure about warning for any speed cameras, as I didn't pass by any when I was test driving a CX-3 Sport this time last year so cannot comment.

I also do like car systems that have 'warning bongs' (as long as the facility can be easily switched on/off by the driver) for going over the speed limit - I find this very useful when using my Nokia Lumia 620 phone as a satnav (FOC Here Maps/Drive facility) - its not wholy accurate (sometimes it gets the demarcation of speed limits wrong), but its right about 95-99% of the time in my experience. Also giving a (fixed) 'speed camera warning' is obviously very useful too, especially if you're driving in an unfamiliar area.

For NT thinking about a Cooper S Mini - I am absolutely delighted with my Cooper S Clubman. It is properly lively so encourages lots of easy overtaking, really good ride quality, and surprisingly economical (better mpg than the standard Cooper, according to Honest John real mpg). 40,000 miles so far and absolutely faultless.

I thoroughly recommend it!

RC's wallet should work to prevent accidental button presses as well as keyless entry: the Faraday bag should work on any type of signal used in remote keys as they are all electromagnetic waves. This includes infrared, microwave, radio wave.

It therefore doesn't work as stated.
