Dumb pop-ups=dumb marketing people 14 May 2003 (Forum)

A most reliable car 17 Dec 2002 (Forum)
: the 1980's one which looked like a copy of the Merc 190E is still a favorite with Manila taxi-drivers today and Lord knows what they must have survived to still be running. I also owned a couple of Mazda 929's in the Saudi days - again very troublefree. Linking back to Mark's "why do we cosset cars -

Alfa 147 Selespeed 10 Aug 2001 (Forum)
are of higher quality so it\'s more comfortable. I would argue that general cabin ambiance is easily won by the Alfa too, another contributory factor toward a \"good drive\" Under heavy braking over uneven or potholed roads AND whilst simultaneously cornering the 147 is simply incredible. If you need to stop -
Skoda Fabia - Is there known issue for VAG 1.0TSI ? 14 Nov 2024 (Forum)

Used Cars - Towbars 27 Nov 2022 (Forum)
I have just googled my recently trade-in Seat Toledo, not least because I'm always interested in the margin that gets added. I'm impressed to see that it has already moved a from a Seat/Skoda main dealer in Newport (s. Wales) to an independent trader in London. They have done some nice -
