  been considering upgrading to a LS500h / 7 series / S class. However, after much consideration I decided to simplify the decision process and just stick with Lexus. I figured I already know the brand and have experienced its famed reliability first hand for 9 years and I know that I have not been
• Most impressed by 17 Apr 2020 (Forum)
  it right in the 90’s with this and the Mondeo, both we’re almost perfect. The Focus was a hoot to pilot down a twisting B road yet civilised enough to be the perfect family or company hack. The rev happy Yamaha designed 1600 motor had just enough power to be fun yet was more reliable, better on fuel

  of money on delivery costs and it's something I do on a weekly basis. MPV or estate? For example, Ford C-max vs Focus estate, is one better for load carrying than the other? Are Zafira's any good? Are bigger MPV's like the S-Max and Alhambra uneconomical as petrols? Are Peugeot or Citroen estates/MPV's

Now, if only they could sort out the reliability. If they did, it would quite possibly

  reviews seem to regularly quote high 40's, what am I doing wrong, or what may be the cause of such (in my opinion) poor economy? Has this 2.2 chain cam engine any known foibles which may be giving me my problems. In general running the engine feels strong, and certainly doesn't appear lacking

It might also
