  • Used car advice 10 Oct 2017 (Forum)
    and a strong engine as I enjoy driving enthusiastically. The number of seats isn't too important, but I would prefer something with a decent boot. Ideally, I'd like to spend £6-7k, but a little more could be feasible if needed. What's out there? Thanks in advance.

  • ANY - Suggestions But comfort 1st 17 Feb 2014 (Forum)
    not apply. no dsg type thingys either. Comfort is the priority. engine size not important but no small turbos, no funny sized wheels. mileage not high enough to justify diesel, and day to day usage minimal. (swmbo is within 5 min walking distance of work now)
  • Confusing appearance with quality. 18 Jul 2013 (Forum)
    appreciate that it's a pity, that both good form and function don't always go together, but which is more important - initial showroom appeal or a long lasting quality build? It would be nice to have both, but I know which I would choose, and maybe the tester would also if they were spending their own
  • Honda Jazz - Next generation Honda Jazz - no European build 4 Oct 2012 (Forum)
    . Can't imagine that with the unfavourable exchange rate between the Yen and European currencies, that they will be importing from Japan. So presumably that will leave China, Thailand, Indonesia and India as likely sources for the 2014 European Jazz.  Will they also be bringing

  • Replacement small car 12 Jul 2011 (Forum)
    told to budget for high maintenance costs from now on. I want to replace it for a lower mileage car with very good fuel economy (I currently get >50mpg on the motorway), reliable engine with low maintenance costs. Petrol or diesel, doesn't matter, but the fuel economy is important. Any
  • Self-drive classic car hire in Manc / Cheshire? 22 Apr 2010 (Forum)
      Daughter's school 'prom' happens in July (a dreadful US import).  However, I thought I'd see about hiring a self-drive classic a day or two, to chauffeur her & a couple of friends to the event and have some fun myself.   The car would ideally

  • Honda CR-V III (2007 - ) - Your Views on The CRV 4 Dec 2009 (Forum)
    I am tempted to purchase a 2008 2.2 EX Diesel, 6K on the clock. I have been out on a test drive and it seems OK, just wondered how non biased people see the CRV as a long term vehicle. I do about 400miles per week so economy is an important factor. I was very disapointed with the Accord Tourer
  • Lunch between M6 & Swindon 16 Jun 2009 (Forum)
    off between 10 and 11am and then stop for lunch somewhere. Any personal recommendations for a good lunch somewhere on the backroads between M42/M6 and Swindon on a Sunday afternoon. Cost isn't important but good seafood is a must. Kevin... {motoring related, so moved from IHAQ}
  • Mazda MX5 (1989 - 1998) - Eunos Roadster - Cat Required? 12 Jun 2008 (Forum)
    Hi, I have just bought a 1992 Mazda Mx-5. The car is imported and on the V5, the only date of registration is 1992 i.e. no month specified. Underneath the car, the cat has rusted away, i think it's only the outer casing that's rusted. I plan to get the car MOT'd and am unsure what date
  • Which Car for under 2k 16 May 2008 (Forum)
    Hi, i need to replace my current car with a cheap second hand car. The most important factor is reliability!

  • How green was my alley? 2 May 2008 (Forum)
    Nissan/Renault have announced that they will market an "electric car" in the US from 2010 and in Europe from 2011. Carlos Ghosan says the car will not be boring to drive and they have signed a deal with Israel because that country imposes an import duty of 70% on cars but only 10
  • Question about car prices in the 1960s. 17 Apr 2008 (Forum)
    sure that the Wolseley16/60 was not. My question is "What would the respective prices of these various cars have been?" (Price was always an important consideration in my family.) And since some of the cars were French, what would the respective prices have been had we been buying in France?
  • ECU problem - Ford Focus tdci 27 Jul 2007 (Forum)
    got to import the part as there's none in the country. I've been quoted £1,100 to repair the problem. Does this sound right? I'm a complete girl when it comes to cars, so I'm a bit worried about being ripped off.
  • How much is 'cost' price 13 Nov 2006 (Forum)
    - I mean important. Any way - the letter is in the shredder now but it did cause me to think what is cost and what discount on brochure price would they be offering. I thought it was about 5% - is this correct ? To clarify - they state cost as the price they pay Honda for the car.
  • Registration query re emmisions 17 Oct 2006 (Forum)
    if it was imported into the UK and registered here would if have a 03 or 53 plate based in it's date of first registration in France and it's emmisions compliance at that time? Or would it have a Q plate, or perhaps it could not be registered here at all now because it does not comply with euro emmisions regs
  • 10 10 till we meet again 15 Aug 2006 (Forum)
    Ok Guys, BBC News claims its the 25th aniversary of (then illegal) CB radio. I remember fitting my rig in the Fiat 131 about 1980, with a single short aerial disguised (badly) to look like a regular car aerial.
