• Polestar 2 - Test drive 24 Jun 2021 (Forum)
  Just had an enjoyable morning heading to the Trafford Centre to test drive a Polestar 2 at their site. They don’t have any dealerships, just a permanent centre in Milton Keynes and the TC, and regional ‘pop up’ test drive centres that operate for a few days then move on. I went out in the Long

• any - Driving without MOT - what are the restrictions 22 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  on the road, the problem is, of course, that it first needs to be taxed and MOT'd. For it to pass its MOT it will need a bit of work, but I'd rather have it done at my local garage as I know and trust them. The car is not dangerous to drive, there is little rust and everthing works as it should
• KIA Rio (2005 - ) - Diesel driving tips 13 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  I have just recently purchased a new Kia Rio Diesel (1.5l) and am very impressed with it. Since this is my first diesel engined car I would imagine that I am driving the car wrong (I.E driving it like a petrol car). My first tank full worked out at 46mpg and I expect this to increase as I get
• Driving in the USA - continued 29 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  Out here now and settled in, have the choice of a Ford Explorer or a Kia Sedona to drive. Not had any problems so far, driving is very easy here. Being able to turn right on a red light is brilliant. They have a much better drink-drive policy and I'm a big fan of the way they double penalties

• How to drive most economically? 23 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  Hi, I've been driving since 1985 and am having a mid-life crisis regarding my driving style. What I'd value your opinions on is this: Is it more economical to accelerate slowly and gently, or accelerate more quickly (not in a boy-racer, tyre squealing style of course) to reach your desired speed
