• VW customer service... 22 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  whos dealers are really focused on customer satisfaction? Where they are glad for custom? As I am now looking at a new car and although I like the 3.0 litre BMW Z4, I'm wondering whether a Honda S2000 may prove less stressful experience from this point of view?

  and has an, admittedly high, mileage of 63,500 miles but in very good condition. Please can anyone give me any advice on whether this is reasonable or not. I was offered £7,500 by a mini dealer and £7,800 by Honda at the end of August and have done little mileage since. The reason I have been
• How many do you need? 28 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  . Just how many ratios do we need? My present Hondas have: 1, a four-speed auto with lock-up overdrive and sport mode which I don't use because it works perfectly well without; 2, a four-speed auto with lock-up overdrive and 'sequential sport mode' for manual use, which i don't bother with very often
• Good salesmen - Skoda and MINI 25 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  that our experience of Marshall Honda and Greenoaks Mercedes, both in Reading, have so far been excellent, both for sales and service.

• Volvo ETM 28 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  there is a problem. 1. Is the ETM really such a problem that it should radically influence my choice of car? I really won't be happy to fork out £700 repeatedly on a car. 2. I am currently thinking of a honda prelude 2.2 VTi or perhaps a Beemer 325i, are there any significant issues with these further than the CBC
• What to do! 24 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  I'm going travelling in July for at least a year. I own a Honda Jazz that I bought new in January 2003 (53) and I love it to bits. It's the SE model, has done just over 15000 miles and is in good condition except for a few bumps (2 of which caused by people opening their doors into mine). It's 3

  Hi all, Been a keen reader of this forum for a while, but apologies nonetheless for making my first ever post a cry for help! I have a 1998 Honda Civic 5 door which is normally flawless in operation, but I noticed that as Mrs Plums dropped me off at work this morning that the brake lights were
• Torque peaked? 6 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  of variable valve timing has given us 190 to 200, or 240 in the Honda S2000. (In fact didn't the first Civic VTEC get towards 160 bhp from 1.6 litres?) However, whilst better breathing/higher revs has allowed power outputs to rise by 30 % or more since 1987, maximum torque output for a 2.0 litre appears
• Luggage capacity 20 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  explained and a 'google' search has not helped! For example, I am looking at the Saab 9-5 estate and the quoted luggage capacity seems to vary from 416 dm cubed (VDA) to 890 dm cubed(SAE) with the seats in place, but say the Honda Accord has 626 Lts (VDA method) rear seats up (to window line

  I have owned my new Honda Jazz for exactly 3 weeks now. I washed it today and discovered a nice dent in one of the rear door panels caused, judging from the shape of it, by some kind person smacking their door into it at some point....thanks for that. To top it off, I went up to my local Halfords

  My '99 2.0 VTEC Accord has been regularly serviced by the Honda franchised dealer up to it's last service at about 86,00 0 miles. At 90,000 I checked the oil and the dipstick was dry. Dealer said bring it in for a top up and consumption test. So it took 1.3 litres to bring it back up to level. I
