Insurance: Hip, hip harass

In November 2009, my son borrowed my Hyundai Getz because his car had developed an electrical fault. He set off on his journey and when crawling down the slip road on to the motorway, rolled into the...

Butch craft

What I want is a car that looks like a Honda CR-V - chunky with high seating - but is not 4x4. Is there such a thing? Also, I hear on the radio today that Carcraft is offering a £2,000 scrappage deal against...

Two grand turismo

Our second car is a 1998 CR-V and whilst it is currently reliable I am concerned that we may miss the opportunity to get £2,000 for it under the scrappage scheme if that scheme closes. My wife has taken...

Mille miglia

We are retired and own two cars: a Jan 99 BMW 318iSE and a Feb 07 Jazz. We keep the BMW for three or four 1,000mile round trips to visit relatives down south. It has covered 70,000 miles and because of...

I’m looking for some pointers towards a new car. I’m about to purchase a mid-sized caravan and want to trade in the wife’s 04 Golf 2.0 TDI for a 4x4. We will only be towing 3-4 times a year so the car...

Ticking off

I bought an i30ES in June and have now done 3,000miles. Very pleased with the roadholding and the dealer was a pleasure to do business with. The tyres are noisy, but I will keep them until they need replacing...

The White stuff

The Government scrappage scheme gave me a welcome opportunity to get a new car, and probably the last car I will ever own (I'm 74). Your frequent mention of the Hyundai offers sent me the walking distance...

Enough puff?

At present we are looking at the Hyundai i30 as a good new buy. However I am not too sure if the 1.4 petrol engine would have sufficient power for long distance or Motorway driving. We took it for a test...

Part-vexed

I recently bought a Ford car, and decided to trade my wife's Hyundai Coupe in part exchange. I thought the dealer's offer for the Coupe seemed rather low. He insisted that, although the car was immaculate,...
