    slipping away, deliberately or otherwise). Am I right? Or are there other factors which would make, say, a BMW safer than a Honda Accord, or a FWD Audi safer than a Subaru? -- Stevie Lakland 44-02 Sunburst Yamaha YTS-23
  • Volvo D5 S60 21 Feb 2006 (Forum)
    A bit of advice please? I am considering changing my car in the summer with a budget of about £9-10k. I am currently looking at the volvo s60 d5, honda accord pet/dis, and audi a4 tdi. I suppose i should be looking at 2002/3 examples here. I have spotted many good examples (low miles, FSH
  • Styling at the expense of safety? 22 Jun 2005 (Forum)
    Just bought a new Honda Accord Tourer. It wasn't until I got it home and looked at the rear indicators that I realised how pathetically dim they are. The lenses are very small and consist of yelow filters hiding behind the now fashionable all red plastic. In bright sunlight the rear indicators

  • New Avensis vs The Clash 10 Nov 2003 (Forum)
    I used to like the Jam, the Clash, Stranglers etc. Now I have a Honda Accord and every time I see the new Avensis I think - I would really like one of those. People won't agree I know., but for me the Toyota badge has more kudos than a Merc or Beemer. When I see the German marques, I think

  • A bland farewell 24 Oct 2018 (Forum)
    I’ve mostly kept motoring costs down by sticking to used cars, mostly sub £5,000 Japanese petrol models where depreciation is minimal and reliability high. But new bambino and image conscious younger wife forced an upgrade four years ago and a new Honda CRV was decided upon. I looked at buying
