  • Mike Rutherfords Champions 7 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    expected to be later this year, the Italian firm that makes it will deservedly receive its biggest boost since the glory days of the original Panda and Uno. Closer to the top of the rankings, Mazda and Honda are taking over from Toyota/Lexus as the makers of the most reliable cars. Nissan is another
  • Can you get a sat nav for bikes? 27 Nov 2019 (Ask HJ)
    Obviously I’m not expecting this to be a full sat nav like a Garmin or something like that, but is it possible to get a small sat nav system for a bike...
  • Which dash cam gives a good value for money and specification? 15 Jul 2019 (Ask HJ)
    I am buying a new car in October and wish to fit a dash cam. I've looked at various comparison sites and wonder what, in your opinion, gives a good value...
  • My car was repaired poorly after an accident - can I get it repaired elsewhere and claim the money from the insurer? 13 Feb 2018 (Ask HJ)
    My Mercedes-Benz was damaged whilst parked recently. The other driver admitted liability, and a claim form was submitted to his insurer (AXA). I returned...
  • Top 10 diesels on the market 11 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    is, but it?s brilliant. Invest with confidence in a badge that now rivals Lexus and Honda for rock-solid quality. The Roomster has all of the utility of a Citroen Berlingo but none of the odour of Millets. It?ll swallow a brace of mountain bikes without a whimper yet drives like a thoroughly modern hatchback
  • 2yrs on from buying a 9yr old dpf-equipped diesel 10 Sep 2019 (Forum)
    TOTAL COST - 2 yrs of motoring, exc fuel, insurance and VED - £5658 Finally, some subjective comments on the car itself.I targetted this model specifically, drawn to the fact it's Nissan developed and Korean built. Having owned a W124 Mercedes E280 and various Honda's this car compares
  • Skoda Yeti - My third Yeti 22 Sep 2015 (Forum)
    player worked very well. I ran it with a 64 Gb SDXC card (formatted to FAT32) and found it especially suited to Audiobooks. The residual values on this occasion weren't great though, the car returning 65% of it’s new cost when traded in. WBAC had offered ~£11K and the local Honda
  • Choosing an MPV 14 May 2007 (Forum)
    the rears can be dropped in to the floor. Never liked that, and was surprised they kept that when they went to Mk II. Too ?mumsy? you simply see too many of them at the school gates. We wanted something a bit more distinctive. What else did we look at: Honda FRV, only seats 6, not really capable
  • I'm selling my 2017 Toyota Auris Estate, what's the best way to get a good deal? 25 Jul 2023 (Ask HJ)
    I was offered a deal with my local Toyota dealer to p/ex my Toyota Auris 2017 (67) Hybrid Estate for a 2018 Yaris Design £13,800 (ticks all the boxes)...
  • Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 diesel - First 5 months of ownership 25 Feb 2012 (Forum)
    . Other cars I considered were the VW Tiguan, Mitsubishi Outlander, Honda CRV and Toyota Rav4. They were all expensive spec for spec with the Santa Fe by the time I added dual zone climate, leather and auto. On the road the Tiguan was the nicest of the others to drive, responsive and far less road noise
  • BMW 3-Series E90 (2005 - ) - 325D Final installment 24 Apr 2008 (Forum)
    . Eat up your greens. Might not bother. It is a small, calm motor car which seems able to keep up with the traffic, has comfortable but not yet soggy suspension, horrible audio and is reasonably frugal. Just like the Accord I test drove two years ago, except that in the Honda I could have happily
  • Gear Oil Questions and Answers 15 Mar 2020 (Forum)
    oil? MTF ( manual transmission fluid ) is a term preferred by some OEMs, perhaps they think it's more descriptive than "gear oil". It doesn't call up any particular performance or viscosity. For example a Volvo MTF will not be the same as a Honda MTF. How do gear oil, atf and mtf viscosities relate
  • Dilemma of dilemmas of dilemmas 2 Feb 2012 (Forum)
    oil Mazda 2.0: Large potential to run on sump oil.  Likely DMF issues. Toyota 2.2: Large potential to blow head gasket Toyota 2.0: "Don't reckon on very high, trouble-free mileages for these engines" Honda 2.2: Failed turbos, high oil consumption, poor economy, Teves ABS issue
  • 16 important OIL questions answered! 8 Jan 2013 (Forum)
    /low drag oils to release more power with no reliability loss. These can be (and are!) used in road cars, but 0W/20 is not mentioned in the user handbooks, so there is always some warranty risk. Honda is perhaps the only exception! 13) How does a high-performance oil allow the motor to produce more
  • letter from the colonies vol 14 18 Aug 2006 (Forum)
    !" There sits William in his tricked-out Honda, engine rumbling, while beside him and behind him recline two utterly beautiful young Filipinas, 15 or maybe 16. "This is Cherry and this is Jessica". "Hi Lolo (Grandpa, kumusta ka na?)" Hmph. "You drive carefully young feller" I admonish William, and remember
  • Anatomy of a ride 23 Mar 2005 (Forum)
    rules in these wretched days of political correctness. But, make no mistake, she knows what she's about when she kicks her leg over a bike. It's customary to make a short pre-ride prayer. GRowlette does this. We fire up and head out. 10 Harleys, 1 Honda (well he can't help that). We accelerate rapidly
  • from Catherine about my motorbike course 30 Apr 2004 (Forum)
    Catrina (bad me). Another thing this really surprised me! how if you drop your bike you sqat down and use your back muscles to pick it up. Jake made us do it with his Honda. I'm only little just 5-1 and 110 I think and I never thought how I would pick up my bike if i dropped it. Really that is amazing, we
