Looking at purchasing a Kia Rio as a second car. Found a car I like and made initial enquiries with the dealer. What are people's opinion on Kia Rio Read more
Would be great to get some advice....
We bought a second hand car from a dealership a couple of years ago.
7 months after purchase the car developed an engine fault and had to be repaired which was done by a dealership. 5 months later another engine fault and this time we were told that the repair was incorrectly done so we took it back and had it repaired again. 9 months after this we have an engine fault again this time it could cost us thousands to correct. It’s now 2 years since we purchased the car and I’m wondering if anyone could advise me where we stand legally. The car has had a history of engine faults now. Does the dealership hold any responsibility?
Any advice would be ace!
Thank you Read more
Is it a petrol or diesel engine? Mazda's petrol engines are very good and reliable, on the whole.
However, the diesels have a terrible reliability record. What exactly are the faults that the dealers have been supposedly repairing?

Gonna need to change my car in the next few months. Currently drive a Toyota Yaris which is ok but it’s starting to get uncomfortable and giving me knee pain... Being 6ft4 doesn’t help but it’s my wife’s old car as I bought a new estate last year for her and our two boys; so this is the cheap runaround... We’ve had it 5 years and it’s never been a problem and cheap to run also....
I only use it for the work commute that only 15 miles of 30/40mph zones and occasional stop start traffic... but I am in the car for an hour each morning and night so bring comfortable is a big thing..
Before you go and say how about this BMW or this Mercedes Benz.... I can’t afford anything like that as I already have a big car to pay for so don’t want something that’ll drain my money away....
Here’s my specs:
I am 6ft4 (with a 34” inside leg)
£13k max
Petrol (only cover 7-8k miles per year)
Newish car (3 years max)
Reliable
No bigger than 4.25m(space on drive)
It will only be serviced at a manufacturers service centre....

How much of the knee pain is down to the stop start driving as much as the car itself?
A smallish automatic may actually be as comfortable as a larger car. That would avoid probably a few hundred clutch movements and gear changes every day....
Twitter on fire tonight as a German auto magazine is reporting that Nissan is set to announce the closure of the Sunderland plant?
FWIW, I import from Germany (for the past 26 years) and I've found out today that the minimum charge I will face to make an import from 1st Jan is £55 per shipment, (I will have to make import declarations by law, whether there is any additional duty to pay or not). This is whether the package contains a €50 part or a €10,000 part, how wonderful! Read more
Keep looking for advantages to not being in the EU, you will not find any as there are none.
I think quite a few advantages were imagined or dreamt about, but hardly anyone stopped to think how they might be achieved in the real world.
