I was thinking of buying a 1-2 year old petrol qashqai +2 for my dogs as i like the boot room, driving position and space. However i've read some dire reviews of the car with numerous problems. I was wondering if anyone had an independent opinion (unlike the cut and paste what car, auto expres etc) opinion or even better experience of a +2 petrol model. Read more
When slowing down to about 10-15 mph, when I let my foot off the brake there is quite a loud "clunk" from the rear brakes. Has anyone else experienced this, if so is it normal, or should I have it checked out under warranty. Read more
Information. Clunk stopped, all fine. However when I filled the car the noise started again. Phoned Jaguar and apparently it's somthing to do with the securing/insulation around the fuel tank which they know about. Booked in for modification.

Kia Magentis.
Leeds-Cardiff and back. And how happy am I not to have to spend my working day on the road!
It led me to wonder how areas will cope with traffic increases over the next 20-30 years. At a basic level all motorways will need to be 4 lanes and in some areas 5.
Managed motorways such as the M42 are all well and good, but when its bumper to bumper with a 40 limit, yet hard shoulder running is not permitted thereby reducing capacity, what is the point in spending the money on the system to permit hard shoulder running?!
I was happy to get 46mpg over the trip. Read more

Those with a sense of humour are having the better of this discussion (current posts are halfway up the thread). Keep it polite please, or the virtual blue pencil will come out.

My sister in law needs a new car since her Ford Ka has rusted away and did not pass MOT. Given that she wants as little maintenance as possible and has a budget of only £2000, I recommended a Japanese car such as a Yaris, Honda Jazz, Mitsubishi Colt Daihatsue Sirion, or a Kia Picanto or Hyundai Getz. Would it be possible to get a reasonable car of any of these types for £2000?
A futher problem is that she lives quite far away in Twickenham and neither I nor she has any clue of reputable car dealers. Are there websites where second hand car dealers are reviewed? Read more

I think the reason for petrol Tiguans being few and far between is that, unusually, the petrol 2.0 costs more (new) than the diesel with the same equipment level.
