• Customer survey 17 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  I've been called for a survey by a company claiming to be working on behalf of of Nissan. They knew I'd taken my four-year-old Nissan in for an out of warranty repair, and were asking for my opinion. I made it clear I didn't want any of my personal details being passed to any other third parties
• Chrysler 300C (2005 - ) - 'Horrendous' depreciation, Volume 2. 28 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  Months and months go by and the pleasure from owning & driving Arnie is as good as ever. Also rather splendid is the residual values that the car is carrying. This article http://tinyurl.com/2qlo8o makes mention that a 2 year old 300C CRD with 30000 miles on it is worth 67% of what the owner paid

• I fancy getting a LR Defender 14 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  or 130? Are ex-Army non turbo versions any good? Most vehicles I've seen on the web have quite high mileages. What's the reliability like?

• New Toyota Auris 3 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  Has anyone yet looked over this new car? Had a good look at it on Sunday, in the showroom of course. I thought that the interior, in some respects was an improvement over the old Corolla but wasn't too keen on the arched centre console incorporating the gear lever and handbrake - this all seemed

  My car was in being serviced today and I got a courtesy vehicle. It was a Mazda Courier crew cab pickup. Looked as if it was about 10 years old but I was quite pleasantly surprised by it. It had auto, air, and a basic but reasonable radio. It was rough and noisy but you expect that from

  Just taken delivery of a new A3 Sport 2.0TDi DSG. I've read a few comments of late on here that would suggest it is overrated, overpriced, a "secretary's car" etc. etc. Yet, I love it. I've driven Golfs, Octavias and all of those, and just changed a Fabia vRS for the A3: the A3 just feels "right
