• Who killed the British car industry? 25 May 2009 (Forum)
  An old topic, perhaps, but it would be interesting to hear backroomers theories on why this country has no home grown car industry to speak of, despite such having such an illustrious history in car manufacturing. Surely Britain could have had a car industry as strong as those in Germany and Japan

• Travelling to buy a (used approved) car? 22 May 2014 (Forum)
  drive, (and if all is ok) leave your old car with them and drive the new one home? Or is it a case of negotiate over phone, drive down, test drive, agree to buy, drive home, wait a week, repeat to pick up the car? Not knowing much about what makes a good car, and what makes a lemon

  After 4 years in a Zafera 1.9 diesel with 6 speed auto, I have changed to a 2 year old Qashquai manual. Having read all the reviews, I was expecting a big improvement. I now realise just how good my old Zafera was. The 6 speed auto was as good or better than any used before. The ride
