• Mini Cooper S - Older Purchase Advice 15 Aug 2022 (Forum)
  may be ok and what is worth avoiding. I am probably looking at pre 2013 Cooper S, so the1.6 petrol with 173ish BHP as I understand that the 2.0 engines were only for post 2013 models.  Ideally I would have liked an auto but something tells me that's worth avoiding given the age of the car
• Toyota RAV4 - Stolen S-Max Hybrid Replacement? 9 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  My S-Max Sport Titanium was stolen on Monday, so I'm looking for a replacement and thinking of going hybrid.  We already have an older Leaf, so we like electric but it doesn't have the range or capacity to suit as our main car. I need something that can seat 5 adults comfortably
• Porsche Cayman S - Intermittent Problem with Brakes 22 Oct 2019 (Forum)
  I have a Cayman S which basically has almost zero braking maybe one time in 20. On the other occasions it brakes ok. When it doesn't work properly the pedal stays firm rather than going to the floor but just doesn't slow the car down properly The front discs & pads were

• Audi A4 1.9 TDi S-line or Honda Accord 2.2 CDTI? 5 Dec 2011 (Forum)
  one I prefer the most and which one I would be happy living with, so thought I would get some opinions. The Honda Accord would be the great 2.2 CDTi in EX trim on a 57 plate so it has leather, sat nav and climate etc, whilst the Audi would be in S-Line trim with the reliable 1.9 TDI, the Audi
• Nissan Micra S 54 - Short brake pedal travel 12 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  Have recently bought a Micra S 1.2 manual, 46000 on clock.  The problem I have is that the brake pedal seems to have a very short travel which means I have to slow down well in advance of junctions etc to save being propelled forward if I touch pedal too firmly.  Am experienced driver

• Astride the `Hobby Horse` scrunched up bikes 7 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  . the seats seemed to be where I would expect the fuel tank to be and I felt like I was on that horse that belonged to a girlfriend years ago.

  Hi everyone, I'm now the proud owner of a Jap import Prelude Type-S (the 220bhp monster jobby). For a six year old car that's done 75000 miles it's in absolutely gorgeous condition, and the engine is amazingly sweet. (Revs out to 8000rpm without missing a beat.) It's been well looked after

  smoothly forward and in reverse, controlling the handbrake herself and without having to look down at the pedals or gear stick.
