  • Hyundai i20 1.2 litre Comfort 5 dr - Gross Negligence - Annual Service and MOT 25 May 2017 (Forum)
    the servicing documentation seemed rather lacking - with 43,000 miles on the clock, I was expecting a detailed report on the state of wear on my brake pads and discs all round - all unchanged from new, but apparently the technician had made no report on these important items. I was told not to worry as the car

    surrounds seem to have perished, and flap about a bit- seen it on others so I guess it's common. Bit of glue does the trick. On the whole, very impressed. It's dull as ditchwater to drive, mind, but that's not important to me. Hopefully I can prevent it rusting and get many years out of it. TR

  • Toyota Yaris II/Vitz (2006 - ) - when's the best time to buy? 2 Jan 2009 (Forum)
    (10 years) and I just feel that the Yaris will be in a better state in 10 years time than the Getz. Although we haven't driven one, I think the 1.0 Yaris would be underpowered.

    to be replaced and this is obviously a 'run-out' model. However, on the Almera PAS, A/C, rear parking sensors (don't ask, but suprisingly required!), Elec windows, 3 year G/Tee, a Euro NCAP rating of 4 stars (against I seem to remember 2 for the 'old' style Fiesta - ask 'Renault Family' if Stars are important
