  a fast as the Civic but I do miss the VTEC roar when flooring it. At cruising speed the Golf seems noisier. Its a little bit of wind but mainly road. The tyres are Michelin Energy which shouldn't be noisy. Maybe once I turn on the radio,  get some gear in the boot and stop my new car

  to occur just after some kind of bump or pothole. A couple of days later this escalated to losing the radio code overnight. At this point I thought it was probably battery and/or alternator. I had trouble starting a few times as well, although I did always get it going in the end. Things got

• Ford Excursion - Any advice re: buying an American SUV 2 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  years now and the family are demanding creature comforts like a radio and a heater that works! The Discovery 3 is only just coming into our price range but most vehicles have mileages well in excess of 100,000 miles. The Kia Sedona appears to be a competent tug, but I'm a little concerned about
• Skoda Yeti SUV (2009 - ) - First 150 miles in my new 2 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  , but the supplying dealer doesn't yet have a price or part number for the Yeti kit. The only slight negative thus far is the Bolero stereo. It seems very slow and unresponsive when playing from a SD card, and the controls for the radio and CD seem illogical and overly complex. I found the system in my Octavia II

  and the gearknob wasn?t secured properly. The other downside for me is the clutter of switches on and around the radio as all the aircon controls are in also in the same area. Makes things handy, but it is confusing when first trying to identify what all the buttons are and what they actually do. For a car

  Open a paper or turn on the radio or TV these days and all the talk is about going gree, downsizing cars to save on fuel, tax and so on but... Are small cars such as the Yaris, Micra, Fiesta, Polo, etc, etc totally impractical for a tall people? Are they bad for the health of those who are tall

  . Seats good, easy to get a comfortable driving position, especially with elec adjustment of the drivers seat. Standard fit radio isn't outstanding but good enough for me. Climate control highly efficient but Mrs W describes it a draughty. You can't manually close the centre air vents which is a pain
• New Toyota Hi-Lux 3 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  needs upgrading with leather throughout, that?s fairly cheap to do here, as I believe it is in TH. The sound system is excellent with radio, cassette, 6 CD changer and MP3. The size is just about right for conditions here, enough to intimidate the idiots as required but not so big as to be hard

  otherwise. It also costs only a few shillings to fill up as opposed to most of the contents of my wallet. The radio is not the original and the Alpine replacement did fall out going over a speed bump and dangle by its wires but then one can't expect everything.
