• Nissan Juke - Happy Pink has a new car! 17 Mar 2013 (Forum)
  They say the best way to test drive a car is to rent one.  So three years ago I was given an S-Max rental and three years later I am still driving the one I bought as soon as I got home. Christmas saw us in a Nissan Juke.  Very happy with the car, had a good crawl over and SWMBO

  Hi, Need some specific advice I couldn't find in the threads... Bumped a car, swapped contact details, they thought it minor: cash not insurance deal but... Big quote: What now? (Details below)... I bumped a a parked car one week ago in a private car park
• Mitsubishi Galant GLS - Selling My Car - How Honest?! 19 Jun 2012 (Forum)
  sure that the other 14 year old cars for sale will have their own niggles, but I don't see anyone on autotrader owning up to them! Thoughts?!

  , any recommendations from back-roomers for a reliable, low cost car to run to 250k - all my journeys are motorway so low-stress on the car. Thinking 3 years/30k miles old, £8k-ish. My current thoughts (all non-diesel!): Honda Civic, 1.8 vvti Seat/Skoda 1.4 TSI 120ps
• Peugeot 306 HDi - Knocking noise at front of car 17 Jul 2011 (Forum)
  that it's an old car and I should not be surprised that there are a few noises! Fair enough I suppose, but this sounds more than a bit of looseness but something that is just not right. Any replies will be greatly appreciated.
• Head gaskets are they now weaker? 6 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  I have many memories as a kid of my grandads many cars, he had them all, Allegros, Ladas, Cortinas but never sunk as low as a Marina but he did have a nice old A40 which was slightly before my time. I remember at least twice these cars (one Lada, one Allegro) overheating with steam pouring out
• Ford Fusion (2002 - 2008) - Car Comfort 18 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  handling comes at a price it seems. It's all the worse because the other car we have is a Mazda Premacy. This may not handle anywhere near as well but driving it is like sliding your feet into comfortable old slippers. Does anyone have any advice on how to increase the ride comfort before this car
• I don't need a new car, but..... 24 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  The Golf 2.0 TDI estate is 19 months and 30,000 miles old - still going as well as ever. Absolutely no need to change .....but - I've heard from several sources quite high up in the accountancy and business world that there's every likelihood that the pound will drop below the euro in the coming
• BMW X3 E83 SUV (2004 - ) - Need a new car - BMW X3 or VW Tiguan? 18 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  We currently have a tiny little car which is about 15 years old. It's about to drop and with a little newborn we need something a bit larger. We've been thinking about what we'd like and although perhaps more practical, we don't want an estate. Neither myself nor my wife want one so we've thought
• Anyone Towed with Toyota Camry 3.0 V6 ? 6 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  visible, only 2 owners, has leather, cruise, 7seat etc all the goodies which apparently all work. I know toyota are good at high mileages (I have an old corolla) This car would be a cheap option - assuming it drives OK. I haven't towed b4, and if I made a mistake and it wasn't suitable, or I broke

• Downsizing from company Mondeo 22 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  -2years old, than it would be to continue with a new company Mondeo. The replacement car would likely be Focus-sized, with decent bootspace still important, but cabinspace not so much. It must be diesel (for driving preference) and have not dissimilar performance to his current 130bhp diesel. He's
• Seat Toledo, why so unpopular? 25 May 2005 (Forum)
  The much vaunted Thommo in funds situation has yet to emerge so I've gone for another cheap car. I still have 3 motorbikes though... The car I went for was an old guy I knows Seat Toledo. We agreed he would get trade in values for it and I would be offered it at a matching price for cash plus
• Tracking down a moved/closed car dealer 11 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  At the beginning of February I discovered I had been mis-sold a used car warranty by a used car dealership, purchased back in October 2004. I queried it with them at the beginning of February on a Thursday, at which point they refuted the fact. On that day they mentioned they were moving premises
• Luggage capacity 20 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  and understandable manner across car types and brands. In terms of making useful comparisons between cars it would be helpful if these carrying capacities were consistent, so that the poor old consumer, i.e. me were not consistently confused, especially when nearly every car salesman I have asked has not a clue
• Drunk Driver 10 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  of an 18 month old child and that I\'ll report him for conduct unbecoming. Plod get back in their car and drive off, with the copper who\'d had a look round my car laughing his head off. And the moral of the story for the police is.... Always check whether a car is left or right hand drive before
• Are short journeys really bad for cars? 31 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  there - a Yaris, I can see why they rave about them, what a great car. But what intrigued me was the taxis over there, 99% are Mercedes ranging from brand new S classes to ones over 20 years old, everyone a diesel - the 6 cylinder versions being the most popular. Despite being a small island and never getting
• My parents\' car II 25 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  of, easy to maneouvre (especially reversing), and easy to get in and out of.They\'re not decrepit old dears, but like anyone else in the 65-70 age bad time has taken its toll. Both find it difficult twisting round to look when reversing, my mother in particular would benefit from an automatic and a car
• Mondeo Cutting out 2 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  know he's an idiot to ruin a perfect history on an 8 year old car but there you go...). Over the past week or two (before the service) the car tends to cut out at low revs when stationary, as far as I know this happens in Neutral or Drive/Reverse. When the engine is started, the revs will go up
• Vauxhall Zafira Tourer - Zafira tourer information. 30 Jan 2024 (Forum)
  I tend to buy a car and run it till it dies (around 13 years old ) and now is the time for a newer car, the last two cars model a zafira which not being a fan it was reliable and a xsara picasso which I got cheap but have never been happy with ,with regards reliability so much so that it's time
