• Another New Car Choice Query 25 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  fittings to her Mondeo, such as heated windscreen and trip computer etc., all items which she is keen to retain in a new car. I run a Honda Accord Tourer and that is our general load carrier, so as long as her new car will accommodate her mother plus wheelchair then that would be ok. Almost all of her
• Toyota Camry (2002 - 2006) - 03 .65 A number of questions? 15 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  Please bear with me. Hopefully these questions do not seem too obvious: (The vehicles this is relevent to is a toyota camry and honda deauville) Q1. I have heard someone say that their renault megane uses 1/2 common rail. I cannot grasp this concept: what exactly does he mean? Q2. Can anyone
• The exponential ascent of the 'green' movement. 12 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  it makes you somewhat cynical of government initiatives. The kind of environmentalism I favour relates to the immediate human environment, not the arrogant notion that we can somehow wield power over the planet. As the Honda advert once said, question everything....................
• Volkswagen Golf VI (2009 - ) - MK6 Golf deals??? 11 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  one tomorrow. 1.4TSI 122 is a turbo only not supercharged/turbo so simpler. Thought it was a great unit better than VTEC honda's i'm used to. DSG was superb. On the 1.4TSI SE DSG I got my dealer to 'theoretically' match a 2k discount from drive-the-deal and found an 8.2% APR PCP deal through Car
• Winter Biking. 7 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  All this snow reminds me of a long trip I made in late November - 1978 or 9 IIRC. Surrey to Switzerland on a Honda 350K4. Off the ferry at Dieppe at 4am (ish), lovely ride across France, nice lunch somewhere. Then it got cold. Somewhere near Dijon I stopped to put plastic bags over my gloves
• US Car Industry - just import european versions? 22 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  in the US? May be they already do. If so then why are they bothering with duplicating design these days? Do honda build an Accors specifically for the States? Or indeed Toyota with the Camry? I understand why american cars were big and understressed for the geography but surely with advances in car design

  http://www.seatsportuk.co.uk/BTCC/2008_btccnews.asp?ID=21191405 Is there any manufacturer coming in to replace them? Field is getting narrower and narrower and is really only going to have BMWs, Vauxhall and Honda with I think only Vauxhall being a manufacturers team. I only hope this does't mean
• A Radical Approach To Performance Tuning.... 7 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  to port and polish the intake and exhaust. We found out they used abrasive material to do it like gritty sand. So I got with my friend that tunes Hondas and we decided to try it ourselves. We got a bag of sandblasting sand and hooked up into the intake and started the car. We had to hold the gas so
• How does public judge reliability? 6 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  outstanding reputation for reliability. I often see people boast that "My Corsa (or Mondeo) never broke down - so it is the best car." Then how can we continuously harp that Japanese cars are best? In fact, except Honda and Toyota, other Japanese brands are less known to public (to an extent that many

• £1,500 buying decision 23 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  a fortnight - so I don't want to spend too much. Up to £1,500 or so. There's only a year or so before I'm likely to become a family man, so I quite fancy a coupé - of which there's quite a choice in the 10-year-old plus category I'm looking at. I'm currently considering the last shape Honda Prelude
• New Rovers 4 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  year old car, that's done average miles, from just about any other manufacturer would cost far less and be a far better bet? Any why buy an MG-FT {or what ever it will be called} from this summer? The Mazda MX5 is far better. Honda , Alfa & othetrs all do much better 2 seaters, that are not based
• Powershift List Eligibilty 20 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  it has to be on the Energy Saving Trust Powershift List. This list includes cars such as certain LPG conversions, all-electric cars and all Honda, Toyota and Lexus hybrids. This got me thinking. Why are Lexus hybrids on the list? They are both large cars that emit more CO2 than many smaller cars
