    , board the Better Half (by now the Bitter Half)'s Ford Lynx 1.6, zip away from the car park with a tropical spec aircon blasting ice-cold air, room to move one's corpus, plenty of space for the luggage, and to be thankful for being reminded of the American interpretation of what automobile travel should

    and the size. Before that I lived 11 years in the United States where I drove mostly Subarus which I love dearly.

    sites. So I went for a test drive and simply loved it. It drives way better than the above two. The way the steering feels and responds is brilliant. It totally took the effort out of driving, especially when combined with the S-Tronic gearbox! I totally recommend test-driving this before deciding. Less
  • BMW M3 CS - Multiple Faults from purchase, No Help from Dealer 15 Jun 2013 (Forum)
    5 days but the fault was covered under warranty. Fast forward another month (still only had the vehicle two months!) and the o/s/f brake caliper seizes on which again means the car is off the road. I call the warranty company and they say that calipers are not covered under warranty
  • My Toyota Prius Review 7 Sep 2011 (Forum)
    in a box and decided to develop my opinion on what its like as a car, and nothing else. Im also going to attempt to be fair to it and not compare it to the 230+bhp S-Type i usually drive too much. Right, the car, its a 2007 07 plate Prius in black, the T3 model and its done just over 46,000 miles
  • Insurance claim hassle 27 Nov 2008 (Forum)
    My patience has been tried sorely these past few weeks. Wife's car was parked o/s our house, in the street, 3 weeks ago and was clonked hard by a local council minibus, meaning the car will need a new wing. Fortunately for us, as the minibus drove off without stopping, my local newsagent directly

    by the boot size and the rear legroom. Are both definitely cars I would be more than happy to own. Of the premium brands fell in love with the Merc CLS I sat in, but was left a bit flat by the S Class, and the SL. Guess without actually driving them cant get a complete picture, but whilst the CLS gave me

    moves electrically as well. * USB connection: for me, the simplest but best option if your like music in your car, as you don't need an IPOD to take advantage of the I-Drive - simply load up a memory stick(s)/ MP3 player and the whole lot can be accessed, with track listings etc, through the controller
  • Choosing a second car - ideas? 10 Feb 2008 (Forum)
    is woeful compared with latest Mondeo / Mazda 6. They don?t have an MPV to tempt me from my Grandis or to compete with S-MAX, C-4, Espaces, Galaxy? they don?t have premium mid-size saloon either like Audi A4, BMW3 / Lexus IS ? nothing!!!!! what do they have? Oh.. the GT-R coming! Wow! But what a price
  • Mike Rutherfords Champions 7 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    the firm has recently had to take out to help keep itself afloat. Jaguar, Ford's deeply troubled daughter company, is also a candidate for relegation - at least until the desperately needed replacement for the S-Type appears in showrooms. And unless a cash-rich buyer can be found for Aston Martin (yet

    (possible the same seats barring material are in the Bayon?). No heated seats or steering wheel on this spec (but I could pay a £299 advanced payment and get the GT-Line S with the same 120PS MHEV as the Bayon and which has the heated seats and steering wheel
  • Bad overtake? 6 Oct 2010 (Forum)
    ? Well what they did was obviously dangerous driving wasn't it? Despite there being oncoming traffic they still didn't want to let me in. Were they trying to cause a head on collision? If the police officer(s) 'saw everything' then why didn't they stop them instead or at least mention it to me? Although
  • Volkswagen Golf IV (1998 - 2004) - Golf GTI 1.8T - first impressions 25 Mar 2010 (Forum)
    that included a week of some of the worst traffic I've ever seen on the M3, and a dash down to Southampton and back that was certainly not economy minded. Similar use would have had the Volvo well down into the 20's. The 1.8T engine is very impressive, being flawlessly smooth throughout the rev range
  • Seat Altea XL - first impressions 21 Jul 2007 (Forum)
    , why? Oh, and one gripe I do have, the car only comes with one remote control key, the other is just a normal key. For a car that should be £17.5k, surely you would expect 2 remote control keys? That?s what my Skoda has. Shortly will be taking it to France and back so will report back in a few weeks
  • 2004 Pontiac GTO - Motor Trend review 7 Dec 2003 (Forum)
    automatic is standard), the Vette V-8 kicks the GTO with inspiring swiftness. Even wearing its standard M+S tires, our test car scorched from [B]0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and tripped the quarter-mile lights in 13.62 seconds at 104.78 mph--numbers that would leave a 1960s-vintage GTO seeing yellow[/B

    goodbye as each one takes his/her exit home. Road is clear so I manage 110 mph for a couple of minutes. A couple of R-1's and and a Fireblade storm past us with a wave. Cops stare but they can't catch us on their Chinese 125 cc's. GRowlette slows down and pulls alongside as we enter our sub-division
