The 2005 JD Power survey (see http://tinyurl.com/8dtbs )gives it a satisfaction rating of 77.5, which is significantly down on the 1st-placed Honda Jazz at 88.1, but not much lower than a Ford Focus on 80.2 or a Mondeo on 79.7.

  My wife has a Honda CRV and I have a Leon which I am intent on changing. I do like 4x4's and previously had a Diesel Freelander which was most enjoyable for the occasional week it wasn't back at the dealers :) Idea is to buy another 4x4 now in place of the Leon and change the 03 CRV in a couple

As a warm up for the season ahead, a nice flowing carve on the flowing A413 followed suit, in the company of a few like minded souls that I came across. With progress being made, though no heroics and everyone

  have any meaningful experience! An example that comes to mind concerns various assessments of the Honda Jazz vs VW Polo. I recently had the misfortune to be given a Polo 1.2 as a courtesy car while my CR-V was in for repair to accident damage. I thought the Polo was an absolute 'dog' even though
• Car Mag Selections of Group Test Cars 3 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  . It has a diesel engine widely praised and size / price-wise it should be up against 3 series BMW / C Class Merc / Audi A4 / Jag X-Type. But when we see group tests they only have the four cars above. Surely it would be good to see the SAAB 9-3, Alfa 156, Honda Accord, even high specced Mondeo's
• Grandad's Accord auto - advice? 16 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  I took the chance to drive my Grandad's Honda Accord SE 2.0 auto last night to the hospital to pick up my Grandma (my own car picked up a flat tyre and I didn't have time to change it - I'm on his insurance under some weird Saga emergency use thing so I'm pretty sure it was legal). Anyhoo - it's X
• Why don't cars look like proper cars any 19 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  I refer specifically to this year's Hondas and Toyotas, and their minivans. Talk about ugly. They used to make such pleasant looking cars, now their creations are the automotive equivalent of overweight ungainly middle-aged women waddling back from the January sales at Harvey Nichols. Maybe

• Why do people.... 24 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  Buy Fiats? Not dynamically very good nor very reliable, nor do they hold their value. The company is going bust for a very good reason. Think Yaris' are desirable by young drivers? They're for 70 year old women. And they have no character. And are expensive. (same for Honda Jazz) Use large
• Smartening up my car 9 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  As I've mentioned I have a Honda CRV ES auto with all the bits. I love it, but it's coming up for 6 years old and has had a very mucky winter.
