  • Buying a car: Cash vs Financing 16 Apr 2012 (Forum)
    Just bought a new Honda JAZZ for 14500 EUROS. I have about 20000 in cash so I can pay cash if I choose. However if I did this it would eat about 75% of my entire savings, and I also have a mortgage and a new baby on the way. So I do have other expenses that might be lurking (home repairs

  • £2k Budget Recommend a 7 Seater? 31 Mar 2009 (Forum)
    Would appreciate if anyone could recommend a decent 7 Seater or at a push a smaller MPV for example a Renault Scenic. Got £2000 budget. Always liked the Honda Shuttle but put off my economy around town etc and apparent high insurance bracket. Had 7 seater 4x4s in the past but do not want to go
  • Disappearance of In-line Fuel Filters 17 Jul 2008 (Forum)
    I'm used to running cars where the service schedule advises renewal of fuel filters which have been the in-line type and reasonably accessible. We now have a Honda Jazz and 2 Fiat Pandas in the fleet with no mention of replacement of fuel filters in the service schedules and no sign of in-line fuel
  • Do LHD & RHD cars have same dynamics? 10 Jun 2008 (Forum)
    Most cars are designed for their parent countries mainly [eg. Mercedes in Germany, Honda in Japan etc.] How are they tested in opposite side steering setup? Most FWD cars have engine layout which is offset to one side - do they mirror the layout in case of steering placed on other side or simply
  • Ethical decisons when buying a car 6 Jun 2008 (Forum)
    Have you ever made let 'ethics' influence a car-buying decision ? (and I'm not really thinking about an obvious one, like buying British-built ). I'm asking this because when I saw the Chinese 'bodyguards' to the olympic flame, it made me think I wouldn't buy a Honda Jazz/Fit made in China
  • 2007 CRV - Excessive oil consumption? 1 Aug 2007 (Forum)
    I just love my new CRV except...... The amount of oil it uses. In the hand book it says 625 miles to a litre and at £10 a litre makes this expensive motoring. I spoke to Honda and they said "didn't they tell you about this before you bought it" .....NO they didn't. My last 2 litre diesel Hdi went
  • Fiat Panda 1.2 11 Jul 2007 (Forum)
    A hoot to drive in town. Has the advantage of feeling significantly faster than a Honda Civic 1.4. Many have commented on the 'shopping trolly' ride quality. But it is light years away from the original Panda which really did have Flintstones suspension system: you could feel every single ridge
  • Tyre Speed Ratings 10 Jul 2006 (Forum)

  • Hard starting scooter if left for 3 days 21 Apr 2006 (Forum)
    I have a 125 honda scooter (automatic). It has been serviced since new (plugs and oil always changed frequently). It seems to start first time in all weathers if it is used daily, which I use to work. There are no obvious signs of engine wear or anything like that. However, if I leave
  • civic type-R gearbox 12 Jan 2006 (Forum)
    I'd like to know if anybody with a Honda Civic Type-R, has trouble selecting 1st and 2nd in the cold weather, especially in the mornings? I had the engine oil changed a thousand miles ago to Castrol SLX 0W-30 but doubt if this would have anything to do with gear selection!! Also, big up

  • Windscreen for Accord Diesel 13 Oct 2005 (Forum)
    I damaged the windscreen of my car when I was in France and RAC Windscreens are unable to repair the chip and so I'll need a new screen. However, before I bought the car I recall reading in one of the reviews that Honda had fitted a thicker windscreen to the diesel models in order to reduce engine
