• SEAT Cordoba (1994 - 2003) - Vario 98 1.9TDi central locking leak 3 Apr 2008 (Forum)

• Subaru Legacy and Outback Petrol (2004 - 2009) - HJ's Legacy 2.0R review 4 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  on to them for too long. Also the kickdown is a bit too slow. The manual, on the other hand, is great to drive and 3rd gear is very flexible and almost seems to give better acceleration than 2nd. Another thing to note is that automatic Subaru's use the 'Active Torque Split' 'box rather than the centre diff
• Where has the flashing green man gone? 16 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  this? Personally I think pedestrians should be given all the help possible about when it's safe to cross or not, up to and including an automatic neck brace to look up at the lights and to turn their heads to look at traffic, however I feel that's a separate rant. In London at least the time of these lights seems

• Suggestions for my next car 21 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  a higher mileage car to begin with [which should be cheaper] and just pile on more miles over the next year or two? Or should I go for a lower mileage car and change it after 1 year? My budget will be £4K max. My preferences would be something nice to drive, automatic preferred [easier when you

  Hi all, Thinking of moving on from the Furby and getting an MX5. I've found a lovely car with low miles, right colour, hard top, leather...exactly what I need. However It's an automatic. I've not really got a problem with this, it drives very well and I'm not such a sporting type

  . It, too, works well. My first automatic had a Hondamatic box with low, 'star' - in which it would do 0-100mph without apparent stress - and a selectable overdrive. Do we really need all this complication? Surely it would be better to have lots of torque - or a good torque converter - and just a few gears

• New Car for Aged Parents 19 May 2006 (Forum)
  combined with the twisting movement to get out of the car is becoming increasingly difficult. So a car with a higher driving position is essential (they definitely don't want a proper 4x4 type vehicle). The car must be automatic (mum hasn't driven a manual in over 25 years) and preferably diesel
