Not a compact price. What's reliability like? In a massive customer survey recently in the USA, Mercedes came 15th manufacturer for customer satisfaction, reliability being one of the problems. Not what I would want having paid premium prices. BTW, Hyundai Genesis came out as No. 1. Read more
Hyundai Genesis is a serious contender however the snobs wont buy it even if it is better than a Mercedes. Hyundai /kia only issue along with residual value mind you c class drops 27 percent in its first year. Most mass produced cars are built cheaply and efficiently. Ile stay with my skoda had it since new serviced it everytime myself and soon to break 500K. All cars are over hyped and over priced all that changes is the body shape lol with added toys and thats all they are is toys and gimmicks.

Not the same sadly, I always watched this programs and it’s reruns. No longer interested in the new version, I consider they have broken a outstanding program and degraded it to one of many that you can take or leave , but would not go out your way to watch
This is my first post so I do apologise if it's in the incorrect section.
My question is: when maintaining and taking care of your vehicle, which has more weight on its value later down the line? Taking care of the interior, or taking care of the exterior aesthetic? ... Read more
You've missed out the third, equally critical item : the mechanicals !
If a car looked really tidy on the outside, but had ripped, torn, fag-burned trim I wouldn't touch it. Same if it was immaculate inside, but loads of dents and scrapes on the outside. Because in either case, it shows an owner that doesn't care about their car
In a recent car review, the writer mentioned the so-called "parcel shelf" fitted to the SUV he was testing, which, of course, has never borne a parcel. Which got me thinking of all the antiquated and sometimes weird names we continue to use for interesting (or mundane) parts of a car.
Has anyone actually stored gloves in a glovebox - and how many cars have sidelights at the side? Mirrors migrated from the wings long ago and there surely hasn't been a fan driven by a belt since the threepenny bit went out of circulation. No doubt an engineer can explain what a throttle does, and whether cars actually have one. Handbrakes are sadly not long for this world, I fear. The quaintest term of all, though, must be "dashboard"; which was originally "a barrier of wood or leather fixed at the front of a horse-drawn carriage...to protect the driver from mud or other debris "dashed up" (thrown up) by the horses' hooves"....

Isn't that Audi drivers? ;)
My understanding is that in recent years Audi have deleted indicator and dip switches. Also I was recently told that 30% iof drivers do not know what the blue warning light on the dashboard means. I suspect this rises to 70% of those on the school run!
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.....
I'm interested in buying a new car from a private seller. It is four years old and was first registered in September 2014. The HPI check flagged up an unusual sequence of mileage. Within one month it has an RMI mileage of 53,664 (October 2014). Not sure if that's even possible!... Read more

My husband and I are expecting twins. He is quite tall so a lot of seemingly big vehicles are too small to fit a car seat behind his seat when he is driving.
We thought we had it narrowed down to a Citroen Grand Picasso or a VW Passat Estate. He prefers the VW but I really hate the idea of constantly bending over to put 2 babies into car seats. Also, the interior of the VW feels so cramped compared to the Picasso. My in laws are really against the Picasso because they say it won’t hold the same value as the VW but at this point I’m more worried about space vs value.
I think a SUV would be a happy compromise but most of them aren’t big enough. We need lots of boot space as you do when you have 2 kids and 2 small dogs.
Our budget is roughly £12k. Is there a make model out there in our price range that we are over looking?
Should we bite the bullet and increase our budget? Read more
A 5-seater S-Max would fit the bill.
Ok, heres a really unusual tale, please take it as 100% gods honest truth and advise only if you definately know the answer.
i sold a vehicle last september to a lady, car was delivered to her which is nothing unusual and she didnt have my address, again nothing unusual there as we often recieve phone calls, take depositss, and deliver cars. Lady did grumble a few days after saying shes spent £275 on something that im afraid she already knew about. She had paid £2850 for the car.... Read more
