  to get in and out of, but a large hatch or mid-sized estate would also do. A seven seater would come in handy only a dozen times a year when we all visit. It does need to be able to sit five and still have a good sized boot for holiday luggage. As a sports nut, he needs a radio with good reception

  accelerating harder to compensate for this power loss, I noticed that whenever i accelerated harder the car would put a puff of white smoke behind it acompanying this white smoke was a loud metallic grinding noise, loud enough to be heard over a playing radio. I carried on until finding a safe place to stop

  .   Today after about 2.5 hours same speed on cruise control it happened again. So I turned the radio off and as it decelerated I could hear a kind of slipping sound best described as a slipping fan belt but no squeak more like a rubber belt faintly whooshing on a plastic pully is what I had pictured in my

  find the legroom just right. Japanese cars are always about the right size for me to be fair. I miss not having the radio controls on the steering wheel but it's a minor niggle. Boot space is quite good; bigger than a small hatchback and the rear seats fold totally flat which is handy. Standard
• Mazda MX-5 - Owner's Diary 2 Oct 2013 (Forum)
  laboured and it's very responsive indeed.  At first I felt it was a bit twitchy but it took about a day to get used to it!  It's great on the motorway although road noise is greater than the Mazda 6, but I really don't mind, especially not with the radio on.  It comes into its own on A-roads

  , but changing channels or the radio band/cd proved impossible. Bluetooth didn't automatically pair the phone every time it found it. Not everything has been moved for RHD - in particular the heated screen and rear window buttons are a long way from the driver. In LHD they would be perfect. Handbrake is set

  I don't want to get stuck with anything for that length of time that is not my A5 or 123d or similar!! But I suspect the best thing to do would be to get hold of some money and be a cash buyer for a car. Should this be nearly new - keep hearing ads on the radio for ex dem (I think) Vectra 1.9cdti

  better to drive than other MPVs. We don't need the seven seats, but there is a flat floor with all rear seats down. Good to drive with minimal turbo lag; just a touch wallowy round corners, probably inevitable given the height of the car. Poor rear visibility, and I'd have to cut off part of the radio
