Hi,
I'm considering purchasing a small-mid sized SUV. I'm a tall chap and would like a car that's easier to get in and out off. I'm not looking for anything flash. Something simple (so not a never ending list of gizmos) and robust (isn't known for failing or released with loads of design faults).

At present, I'm considering a T-Roc, Ateca, CX-30, Xceed (although not really raised), a Golf (again, not raised but smart). I would prefer it to be raised more than a standard hatchback but should a deal come up then I may forfeit the higher driving position. The car will be 2020 or later and it will likely be an automatic.
Can I ask for your opinion on these cars. Are any of these known for having problems, design faults? Is any more recommended over the others.... Read more

How many motorists know whether their car is fitted with summer tyres which are unsuitable in temperatures below 7 deg-(i.e. most of the winter months). The tyre manufacturers do not approve their tyres for these temperatures due to lack of grip & particularly in snow or ice conditions. How often we see cars in the UK sliding around with just a light sprinkling of snow. Annoyingly, many car manufacturers fit summer tyres as original equipment-any slight advantage in the summer months is more than outweighed by the dangerous disadvantage of poor grip in winter, even without snow. For the UK ,car manufacturers should be fitting 'all seasons' tyres or they should tell the customer they have summer tyres which should be changed to winter tyres for their safety. Although our winters are not as harsh as places such as Germany (where winter tyres are legislated) it doesn't need freezing conditions for summer tyres to become inefficient-7deg or less is fairly common in UK winters.

Well i have finally decided on a car to replace my trusty Astra. 2022 Skoda Scala 1.0 SE. I thought i would have something different. I looked a Astras and Focus, but the Scala caught my eye. And i had a newer Scala from a Skoda Dealer for a better price than an Astra or Focus.

I am waiting for the call for me to collect it. Exciting times Read more
