March 2017
The first incarnation of the 3008 won the car of the year award also from one British car magazine. Sadly it was not as well built as one would have expected, I needed to tighten the door stops every 3 months as they worked loose on mine, the rear drop down tale gate which was a selling point needed to be fixed on day one by the RAC as I sat on it and at 13 st I'm not heavy & i managed to push it out of alignment so the central locking would not work ( I believe this was a later a recal). Later in the ownership at just after 30,000 miles the clutch started to slip so a new one fitted. On return it kept hoping out of gear, so after many returns and and many weeks I think 10 + weeks I finally got it back with all the gears working with a depleted tank of diesel and not even clean and no apology. So if the new one follows in the same vain I would be very very cautious. Read more
3 exhaust pipes???! Are they trying to outdo razor blade manufacturers for superfluous extras? No need for the boy-racers (assuming they can afford to buy and insure one) to mod them after a few years - its a pre-modded car!
Obviously Honda haven't learned any lessons from the previous models (paritcularly the last one), which probably sold a tenth as much (or less) as the 'original' Type R from 2001- 06. Why is it that Honda now sell either Granny and Grandad cars (woefully slow and not great handling) or pre-modded road racers with rubber band tyres, rock hard suspension and engines that can keep up with an M3 but are nigh on usless (in my opinion) in everyday driving/traffic...
I was looking forward to this latest (hopefully much improved) Civic as an alternative to a Mazda3...not any more. I may have to consider a new KIA Ceed or Hyundai i30 with the 1.4 turbo engine - reasonable performance and size (the new Civic is as big as the previous Accord) but without the modded look and very hefty price tag (even for the 1ltr turbo - and, as usual, little discounts). Shame, as the interior is quite nice (apart from the silly touchscreen controls for the A/C and fan).
Oh well... Read more
You state that " Both engines will be available with Suzuki’s SHVS hybrid system, which provides a mild economy boost."
This is incorrect - only the "conventional" 1.2 engine has this option ! Read more
Anything helps, I guess. Especially for a 2.0 litre, performance wise it was hampered on all fronts, economy, emissions and on the road performance wise. Especially when tested with the CVT gearbox (allegedly, I found no issues with the CVT Forester that I drove for a day) And as mentioned in the article, the high price didn't help, even if you factored in the generous supplied equipment levels and four wheel drive. I'm a bit miffed that the 1.6 turbo engine from the Levorg won't be offered, but I'll be in the market for another car in 2019, so I'll defer purchasing until I actually get a real time road test in one. I no longer trust most magazine test drivers reports about Subaru cars. They seem to be extremely biased for German diesel cars for some reason (can't think why) Read more

I've had my 2006 Ford Mondeo for 4 years and got it for a bargain price, been happy with it but the last two MOTs have cost £400 or so and the next is due end of March.
I recently put in a new drive shaft after hitting a pothole, there are various problems with sensors and the clutch so I feel the car has reached end of life and no longer wish to MOT or keep it on the road.... Read more
My opinion is different
I like the cut of your jib JEREMYH, wouldn't have the foggiest idea if i had a good credit score, whatever that is when its at home, deifinately don't believe in paying interest to people or institutions who are already rich.
Hi all,
After a few 40 mins throughout Saturday, the last trip we started the car to a worrying sound.... Read more
Hi all - alternator. New one fitted and running fine again now. I had the battery changed 4 months ago, wonder if it was actually the alternator. New belt too as some of the piece had damaged it.
