• Hyundai i10 (2008 - ) - Hyundai i110 vs Kia Picanto 30 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  like small FIats of old. Finally with the Hyundai is the Indian build quality any good: Previous expereience of Suzuki Altos, City Rovers, Tatas and Mahindra jeeps were not good. Finally what happened with the Picanto Diesel? That sounded like a cracking little car.

• Khan cleared of dangerous driving 8 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  Khan, who denies dangerous driving, reached a top speed of 47mph as his BMW hit Mr Hatton, breaking his leg. Perhaps I do not understand what a high performance car is. The BMW site states:- base model 530i 6.2 secs and the 650i 5.2 secs for 0-62. Perhaps he had an old base model ?
• AWD Estate Car 4 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  (not very 4x4 like and acceptable). I originally suggested the Audi Quattro range but they were not keen. Am I missing anything out or does anyone have any suggestions? Would a rear wheel drive car with a decent traction control system do the trick? Current vehicles are quite old and therefore probably
• VW Coils AGAIN 7 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  . The local dealer has told him 1-2 weeks for the bits and they have 3 other 1.6's with the same problem waiting. VW have said they will pay even though the car is out of warranty but he is now inconvenienced without a car for 2 weeks. Thankfully he has my trusty old Corolla to rely on !!!!!

• Quietest - Primera, Mondeo or Passat? 30 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  I have the opportunity to buy a cheap 1 year old fleet car at a good price and have tempted me for a change and pass my QX to my girlfriend. My question is, where would I be able to find the noise (in decibel) of a car make at 70mph? This car will be a work car (around 20k p.a.) so low cruising

  to replace a 1.8 petrol Ford Escort estate? I'd like a diesel estate. My budget is up to £4000, but a bit less would be nice. I was quite happy with the old car's performance, something similar would be fine. I am not too image-concious.

• Rumble Strips+ Car Radios 2 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  I've had problems with my car radio- it kept on switching itself off when I was going over the rumble strips up the road. I took it to be repaired and was told it required a bit of soldering. That seemed to cure the problem for a couple of months- then it started playing up again. Do you think
• Peugeot 405 - falling to bits 12 Jul 2001 (Forum)
  reliable cars, and I've never known such poor quality. This is becoming unbearable, the dealer always does his best to replace the parts which have broken, but the car is only a year old, what will it be like in 5 years time ? Should I get rid of it now and buy a Passat ? How do they get away with it ?

• Kia Ceed 3 - Dual Clutch Transmission review 22 Nov 2017 (Forum)
  . Overall the car shifts gears as expected from an auto. Can't comment on long term reliability but I have the 7-yr warranty if things go wrong. Although I bought a year old car, being approved used, Kia bundled full 7-yr warranty from the date collected. There is a button for ECO mode which
