• Any - When Will the Americans Learn 20 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  something like a 5.8 V8 Chevvy Silverado or Ford F350 'Super-Duty' truck. I have to admit they do sound like rolling thunder pulling away from the lights though !

• Kia - Should you buy an Optima? Another accomplished Kor 11 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  styling and abundant value for money on the Kia’s side, in fact, it’s not difficult to imagine the open-minded giving up a VW Passat, Vauxhall Insignia or Ford Mondeo for one. Not difficult at all.
• 'Manly' cars 4 Sep 2011 (Forum)
  I have just read the HJ article about the most 'manly' cars.  I suspect, since the poll was conducted by a shaving foam company, that mostly men answered it.  The Ford Mustang was voted most manly.  The list of least manly cars had the lovely MX-5 on it, and it would seem that men

• Citroen C5 - C5 or E-Class 30 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  to me that the gap between Ford/Citroen and BMW/Merc is much less than what it was. This brings me to the question - is it worth paying the extra? What to you get for the extra money now? A badge? or is there still a significant difference?

• What unusual car did i see? 28 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Was passed by a most unusual small car today, it had a very curved bonnet and boot lid both of which were corrugated, not sure how many corrugations on the bonnet but the bootlid had 3 i think. The rear window was reverse sloping like a Ford Anglia, the car appeared smallish, it seemed

• General servicing bills of various makes 1 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  , Fords are cheaper than, what shall we say, Toyotas and Hondas which are cheaper than VW or Audi and so on and so on. Just trying to gauge how people conclude that such and such car costs X to service when buying a new car?

• Fusion or 206 26 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  In the never ending search for a replacement car for the missus, I think we've narrowed it down to either a 54reg Peugeot 206 1.1s, 15000m, £3995 or a 52reg Ford Fusion 2 1.6, 20000m £3995. Both are from a trader and appear in good nick. Wife prefers the fusion and it is the practical ,but I'm
