• Best value used small car? 8 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  and Honda Jazz, these have a good reliability record and I have a Toyota garage nearby, unfortunately there are few genuine private sales out there and the dealers ask for top prices.

• MOT tyre requirements 4 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  surprised that the tyres aren't an issue. Does the MOT check that the tyres are up to the legal minimum, or simply that they're black, round, and attached to the car? {Dropped the word 'Honda' from the subject header, as this discussion relates to all cars, and not one specific make - DD}
• Which company currently impresses most ? 13 Oct 2007 (Forum)

• Built in Sat Nav overpriced? 8 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  for one thing it should be included in the top of the range cars in the way that Honda do with their Exec Accords and CR-Vs. I do like the convenience and large screen of my VW system but a good standalone system will be mine forever and work between both cars as required. Does anyone who has to pay
• Running costs, Accord coupe versus IS200 21 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  I'm looking at 'nice' second-hand japanese cars,5 or 6 years old, and like the Honda Accord coupe (3 litre ones are quite cheap where I live)and Lexus IS200s. They're both suprisingly cheap to insure (not much more than my Punto believe or not)and I'm willing to take the hit on petrol costs as my

  years ago: - Hyundai Trajets (V6 and Diesel) Volvo S80 2.9 Subaru Foresters Turbo and NA Suzuki Wagon R+ Honda CR-V plus lots and lots of run of the mill FWD cars and none of them gave a moments cause for concern except in very icy conditions, during which time the 4x4 cars were a doddle. What

• New Mitsubishi Colt 13 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  Smart. Ride/Handling - not bad, but I don't remember the Honda Jazz being any worse.. Value - very good, but somehow I think if I were in the market, I would have to have a really good look at the Jazz and Micra, as well as the european models before I bought a Colt. Its biggest competitor
