Honest has often mentioned coil springs and how poor they are - apart from those fitted to those cars made in the Far East - Japan, korea etc
Does anyone including Honest know about Japanese brands made in the UK ( particularly interested in a CRV)
I'm also a great worrier as I'm looking at a saab aero convertible as a middle aged crisis car (looking at a 2005 aero as a newer one is expensive and falls into the £400+ car tax area) - as I'm a worrier I have read LOADS of stuff about broken springs either as a rattle or the driver knows its happening just after starting off - does it EVER happen at say 80mph (german autobahn ofcourse) causing the tyre to shred and cause a REAL brown trousers moment ?
I'd probably get new springs every 2 years after reading all the stuff on the electric interweb IF I followed my heart and got the car of my dreams
