• What car to buy? 22 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  Hi, I was just looking for some advice about which used car is best to buy? I'm only 21 and not got a huge budget (1500 is probably top end). I realise that I'll be looking at an old car but I'm at a loss as to which ones would still be considered reliable? I'll be going abroad next year with my

• Volvo C30 - Which new car? a dilemma... 20 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  I'm in a terrible dilemma.  I'm a 23-year old male, and I want to buy a new car.  I've finally narrowed myself down to either a Volvo C30 1.6D SE Drive, or a Volkswagen 1.6TDI SE Bluemotion (5dr).  They're both a similar price for similar spec.  They both have similar

  Just wondering waht most peole have to pay in total for their car per month? If we dont include fuel which is very subjective. Exclude company cars as not relevant. What make and model and how old, was it bought new or used and for how much? Include loan cost per month but state over how many

  Currently driving a rental car as mines off the road after an accident. Been given a 58 plate Ford. Already the bonnet is rusting (i assume after a stone chip). I remember old Fords always used to rust but it appears nothings changed on modern ones. Anyone know why though - surely its

• Bland cars 8 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  up 12 year old Pug 306 with heavy clutch, rattly bits and pieces and no aircon but what a joy to drive after the Nissan. I'm sure the Nissan was safer, more economical and it didn't smell as if it was running on coal dust but how can any manufacturer produce a car that is so utterly bland?

  I'm not the world's most patient person, I know, but isn't a 12 week wait a bit excessive for my new car? I can accept maybe there's a bit of a delay because it's a popular car, and maybe it takes about a week or two to get it through the factory line and finished off, but that would only account
