• Guard your keys! A reminder. 18 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  A week or so ago a 6 year old ordinary Honda Civic was stolen fom a front drive in my street. The elderly couple were in bed when the car went at 1:30 in the morning as logged on CCTV. It is believed that the front door was opened via the letterbox (there was no bolt on the bottom of the door

• Ins Co gives back £20 Admin Fee for Policy Change 18 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  A few weeks back I changed the car and the Ins Co charged me £20.00 for changing car details from Honda Civic to X-trail. I wrote a 1 page letter as I was aggrieved at Esure charging me more (I have been with them 5 yrs x 2 cars and no claims) than a New Policy holder - offered me my £20.00 back
• Why only 3-yr warranty? 14 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  The question often intrigues me that why only Hyundai (and Kia also on Cee'd) gives 5-year warranty on all their cars! Why the other manufacturers falling behind? The Honda & Toyota are often considered ultimate word for reliability but why they and other Japanese brands are hesitating to offer
• Malfunction Indicator lamp/ Engine check 29 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  Hi, I have a 2000X Reg Honda Accord Auto, done 55000 miles. Last wednesday while I was driving, the Engine check light ( Malfunction Indicator light) came on. The car was a bit hesitant on acceleration. I phoned the dealer with whom I service. Unfortunately they can't check it till next friday
• Petrol, diesel and beer 24 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  Having cut the grass I sat down last night to watch the France v Togo match with a couple of tins, this got me thinking. Unleaded is around 95p a litre, I reckon the little Honda used around 20p worth to cut the lawns Diesel is £1.00/ltr on which the Mondeo will take the family, I and a load
• Car for £1K 19 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  have any chance to find reliable car for this amount of money? I was thinking about Nissan Sunny, small Honda Civic, Ford Fiesta or Rover 200-25. My friends are sure that for this money I can buy only rubbish and will spend a lot on fixing all breakages.

• bad time to buy a 3 series? 19 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  really like the look of the imminent new A4, would never have another Merc, like Lexus but uneconomical petrol engines only, new Passat next year might be worth waiting for, Saab,Volvo,Honda etc don't appeal (car snobbery maybe, but residuals also, and not as good to drive) Reckon I can get £1500 off
• Accord or V70 Estate 8 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  Any Backroomers got any thoughts on the Honda Accord Tourer v the Volvo V70 (particularly the CDTi v D5)? I know the Volvo is probably classed as more expensive but after discounts the D5 SE seems to be available for about 23k for a new 04 pre-reg which is only about 1k or so more than the Accord
• USA Motoring 21 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  price of approx $34K In this part of America(Atlantic coast of Florida) it seems that the median age of drivers is 70+ and hence one would assume into the traditional 'floating barge' car. However the 'Bread and Butter' market is dominated by Hyundai/Kia/Honda/Toyota and Lexus, Jaguar and Mercedes seem
• Are seatbelt mechanisms "handed"? 23 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  Needed to replace the passenger-side front seatbelt in my old C-reg Honda, so off to Halfords for a replacement. Now, my (probably wrong!) understanding of inertia-reel belts was that they had two mechanisms inside - one locks the belt under hard braking, and the other when the belt is stretched

  Ive just got a new Rover 416 Sli auto (1997) and Im very pleased with it...lovely ride and a smart looking car...good reports aswell as it is the only model in the range to have the 1.6 Honda engine, which is far more reliable and better performance or so Ive read anyway. The only problem I have
• Civic Type-R Owners (Leatherpatches) 31 May 2003 (Forum)
  Thanks for everyone's suggestions for a sporty car for £16000. I am currently following up some of the suggestions & going for test drives. I went for a test drive in a Honda Civic Type-R yesterday and as a result it has gone straight to the top of my list, although I do still have some other
• Any car suggestions?...... 26 Jun 2002 (Forum)
  is telling me to go mad for once in my life and get the hot rod I never had in my twenties (I'm 33). However the better side of my nature is telling me to buy something cheap (used Vectra), reliable (Honda), image enhancing (BMW, Merc) and diesel. Nothing boring but make sure it does'nt shout 'drug dealer

• Why don't I just do it? 17 Apr 2001 (Forum)
  rust; feeling the road with the accelerator pedal still attached to a square foot of floor. But what value for money. Why, for donkeys years, have I sat behind the wheel of a boring new(ish) mass produced bean can when I read about the exotic monsters you lads are driving. There's a Honda Legend
