  • Yaris Hybrid/Mini/Jazz/Zoe/ID4! - Quality Small Hatchback - Which One? ?? 5 Jan 2024 (Forum)
    .  Hence for parking I'd like a small car, but I would love a little more space than the Yaris Hybrid offers in the back, and could do without the headache of EV charging.  However should I give them more serious thought if the kids get some space in the back?! ?? In order of importance
  • All - HC giving way to pedestrians 15 Feb 2022 (Forum)
    When I posted ""another use for your LH """ it got taken over by cycling rules. Another equally important new rule is the advice to give way to pedestrians crossing at junctions. If you are turning left and a pedestrian is on the kerb waiting to cross you should give priority

  • Kia C'eed - A reliable long distance commuter car? 23 Mar 2019 (Forum)
    but has no warranty... this feels important given our last experience with a used car.   - Peugot 208 which although are cheaper, I'm reluctant because of previous experiences with the brand when they get over the 5 year age    Do you think the Kia C'eed is a worthy

    and prolonging its life before replacement (currently approx 85k on the clock). So looking for small/medium car (manual if possible)  In theory price is not important except that the point of this is to save a bit of money so the overall cost/mile is the most significant factor (within limits

    approx double that amount. The car was bought brand new from an import company but its value is less than the Alahambra. Its main use will be SD& P and to and from a permanent place of work.

  • Honda/Mercedes - Another which car thread. 30 Aug 2017 (Forum)
    existing car. Reliability is of paramount importance but looks come into play obviously. I've test driven the newer civic and it's a nice car, but the 1.6d lacks the power I'm used to in my 2.2. It's not necessarily a deal breaker though as I know it's very economical. Any real life

  • James May's Peoples Car - Vandalism 16 Dec 2014 (Forum)
    . This stopped being amusing on Top Gear a long, long time ago, certainly long before they did it with a Beetle.

    it is reliable. I only will do around 7-8k miles in it so the extra consumption over the diesel won't matter either.
