  I want to buy a classic car and keep my day to day car, my wife doesn't agree. She thinks that because we're retired and do around 4000 miles a year, a...

  vehicles behind? And the local BMW dealer matched the well discounted price from Drivethedeal. So what?s it like and how has it been? Features: Mrs MM and I have ?his and hers? keys ? the car recognises each key and remembers the last setting of the mirrors, the aircon and the radio. Cool. You can set
• Roadtest : Avantime 20 Jul 2002 (Forum)
  with an equally impressive interior in full leather and I think pretty much stolen from the Espace. Everything is well laid out and easily to hand with steering wheel controls for the Cruise/Speed control and a remote lever thing for the radio, which I guess is Renault standard having seen the same controls

  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

• Ford Focus Saloon 1.6 TDCI - Stumbling whilst accelerating or Cruising - Help 19 Aug 2015 (Forum)
  .   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
• Honda CR-Z - New car - very first impressions 30 Oct 2014 (Forum)
  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

• Ford Mondeo IV (2007 - ) - Three weeks with a 2.0 TDCi auto 15 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  , 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

  , non existent. Car radio reception poor. Many miles covered in silence. 7. Gas stations far and few between and not open early, so fill up night before long journey and early start. 8. Excellent independent cafes serving great coffee and food on main trunk routes. 9. excellent motels with large
• Lease running out soon - what to do next 30 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  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
• New car shortlist - down to 3 21 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  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
• Top Cop nicked at 128MPH! 17 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  , as holiday season road deaths soared, an exasperated Arrive Alive spokesperson, Inspector Kenny Africa, told Weekend Argus: "I don't know what else we can do to discipline motorists. Today we even went on radio to warn drivers that we would have speed traps across the province and yet we are still catching

• Renault Laguna III (2007 - ) - impressions 9 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  . Driving position very good and all switches easy to hand, radio display looks the same as our 8 year old Clio except that it has a (Vauxhall ish) neutral illumination where as the Clio has a warm orange backlight that I prefer. Also the milometer / info screen etc is a small b/w LCD that appears to uneven
• Low mileage Xantia - am I sane to reject 6 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  BUT the clutch worried me , the 4 Michelin tyres looked original and had about 4mm of tread left ? but at 6 years old were past their sellby date and would have to be replaced. And that silver colour was so dull. The wheels were steel with very good trims ? no alloys ? there was no sunroof and a radio cassette
