  • Aygo review 23 Mar 2022 (Forum)
    are. This one had everything I could possibly need, air con, climate, dab radio, Bluetooth, Android pairing , reversing camera etc etc. The 3 cylinder engine pulled nicely, with a very agreeable sporty sound, nice slick gearbox, well damped ride, decent handling, safe rather than ultimately sporty. But a lot
  • Hyundai Tucson - Advice please first big purchase 5 Mar 2019 (Forum)
    preferred the tucson, she liked the qashqai n connecta. We compromised and decided to look for a tucson but diesel version with some toys on it (reverse camera, sat nav, touchscreen infotainment system).  Budget 12-15k. At least 2 years manufactures warranty left on the car

  • Aping their betters 17 Jan 2010 (Forum)
    of their cities with incomprehensible paint and irritating signs and arrows. In the case of Bath, these frightful men and women, worthy successors to the syphilitic, nose-dripping, smelly-trousered aldermen of a couple of centuries ago, and the vacant uprooted peasants who man their Mickey Mouse camera systems
  • New car for Mrs Happy Blue? 24 Oct 2015 (Forum)
    .   Any other suggestions?  She wants automatic, SatNav and a reversing camera and style/image is important to her, so suggesting a Kia Venga will not go down well.......Is a Mini Countryman a sensible option?  
  • Nissan Leaf - My Leaf experience 30 Jul 2016 (Forum)
    think "P" is for when you are ready to leave the car as I needed to turn the car off and restart with the footbrake pressed. Full satnav with camera warnings, rearview reversing camera. Only downside I found was the seats which aren't very supportive.   I also didn't have time
  • S 280/C/Others - Mercedes Diana's Death 20 Oct 2017 (Forum)
    .  It was the South African ones that were faining. Two had failed overnight and when the car was reversed in the morning the front wheel broke away from the wishbone and folded up into the wheel arch. The cars were delivered to the Merc dealer in Worcester where I was surprised to here from
  • any - Taxi Drivers 7 Mar 2016 (Forum)
    .  CCTV showed that a liveried taxi had done the damage pulling out of its parking slot. Worse, that the driver stopped, reversed, looked at the damage he'd caused, then drove off.  Local facebook (where the cctv was uploaded) identified the taxi firm - and within a few hours the firm's proprietors
  • Best MPG automatic 9 Jul 2013 (Forum)
    Hi All During the period while my loved 504 cab was repaired after a lady could not find enough space in 7m to reverse and damaged the door, I was given to drive a Nissan Micra 2013 auto. I have not driven any new cars for a long time, specially an automatic.  I discovered
  • Mitsibishi asx - Mitsubishi asx - 3 or 4? 3 Jan 2011 (Forum)
    and we're not bothered), reversing camera (useful safety feature but the 3 has beepers) - so the only other difference is "iPod control". Now the 3 has a USB socket, so presumably you can plug in an iPod and play it through the stereo, but I was wondering what control you get - I assume you can't use menus
  • Traffic Light 24 Feb 2006 (Forum)
    Hi all, I was wondering exactly how the traffic light cameras work that we see on the roads. The other day, I was driving in an area completely unfamilier to me and being given directions by a friend of mine who failed to mention turn-offs until the last minute. Regardless, I had to turn right

  • Motoring in Tenerife 3 Dec 2006 (Forum)
    , but no the driver just couldn?t reverse. We covered almost 500km most of it in 3rd gear or lower and the ?bus? did over 30 mpg - but at less than £2 a gallon fuel costs aren?t really a concern! No speed cameras and decent road surfaces, worst parts were actually on the motorways where parts of the surface
  • Tokyo and Toyota 19 Jan 2003 (Forum)
    which switched, when reverse gear was selected, to give you a view in colour from a camera in the rear bumper along with a superimposed depiction of the intended direction of reverse travel. A small button on the steering wheel could also be used to activate two corner cameras in the front bumper
  • Land Rover Range Rover Sport - is the least reliable car to buy for the 2nd year 14 Nov 2019 (Forum)
    .    Away from onboard electronic gremlins, owners of Range Rover Sports up to three years old also reported plenty of suspension issues - which tend to be very pricey in big SUVs - and recurring woes with parking sensors and reversing cameras.  The likelihood of breaking down was also cause
