  • New Car Time - Replacing Nissan Primera P11-144 6 Dec 2013 (Forum)
    - Decent specs and OK looks, ticks all the boxes for MPG, CO2 etc for sub £4000 (60k mile cars). Could add an MDI unit. Think these are timing chain, don't know how reliable compared to the Primera. Honda Civic 1.8 Petrol - again for sub £4000, can get a great car, but I don't like
  • FIAT Panda (2003 - ) - Panda in Austria (review) 5 Nov 2008 (Forum)
    there was some sort of foul play. Hmmmm. The mix of cars on the road was not dissimilar to that in the UK, though there were more German cars, and it seemed, fewer Hondas and Toyotas and French cars. (And Rovers!)

  • C4 Picasso 6 Apr 2007 (Forum)
    comfortable drive, with some very nice design features built into what I think is a very good looking car ? would I have one? Well I hope in 3 years time we will be able to buy my fathers one off of Motability to replace what will then be our aging Honda Shuttle.
  • Buying a new car 22 Dec 2013 (Forum)
    , VW, Hyundai, Citroen, Peugeot, Vauxhall, Mazda, Seat, Toyota and Honda. Most of these test drives were booked online so relied on the dealers getting in touch with me and while most of them did there were a few exceptions. I would like to share with you my opinion of the cars that I tested
  • Spartan Warriors. 7 May 2020 (Forum)
    reliable too. Honda Acty Van - A Tiny 550cc two cylinder engine with 30bhp from memory made these very entertaining on the road. Getting past 40mph was a battle. Nissan Micra K11 1.0L - Didn’t even have wheel trims. No equipment at all but what it did have was a revvy wee 1.0 twin cam motor

    don't want to boil the vacuum-pot ancilliaries which I can't get off.   I've done a couple of simple motorcycle ones (Kymco Zing 150cc Honda CG125 clone, and Yamaha RZR 133cc 2-stroke) a few times and had evolved a technique involving boiling with automatic washing powder
  • Hyundai Santa Fe long term test 15 Apr 2015 (Forum)
    ’ metallic paint. Which means we’re on the road for £32,315 – slightly less than an equivalent Honda CR-V, slightly more than a Toyota RAV4 and heaps cheaper than a decent Freelander 2. So, while Hyundai doesn’t own value, you’ll find it rolling up its sleeves with gusto when

I'd like to compare it one day to its most direct rival, the Honda Insight but with a good four year old Prius going for around 6k and the Insight only being out for a year or so if you want a big five door auto with cheap tax, insurance
  • 2008 Motorshow- Good Bad and Ugly 30 Jul 2008 (Forum)
    to have taken a backward step from my old 2000 model year Cordoba! Away from the car stands, the Honda show was well worth the money, with some amazing driving/ riding- although the hosts seemed to be local radio wannabes- and "to dream the impossible dream" was sung/ played ad nauseum. Dont know whose

  • Choosing a second car - ideas? 10 Feb 2008 (Forum)
    Honda dealer and sat in a Civic ES. Wow, lots of space in the cabin, beautiful quality leather seating and materials all round, and of course as is well documented a rather space age looking dashboard.
