• Coolant disposal 2 Jul 2013 (Forum)

• Road tests 7 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  Yes, the later focuses handle and drive well, but the front wheel drive transmission noise on these, Ka's, fiestas sound like a tractor. The 1.3 engine in the old Ka [and some of the old fiesta's] is little changed from the unit in the old 1960s Anglia. And the seats in the Mondeo are the only car guaranteed to give me back-ache aftre more than 30 mins. Mind you, Ford's corporate hospitality is legendary!
• £5k, 22yrs old & 60 mile commute 23 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  Hi all, I was wondering what people would suggest for the above - a total budget of £5k (preferably including insurance) for my 22yr old sister who will be commuting 60 miles a day. I'm thinking it'll need decent fuel economy, she's never had her own car so has no NCD (so insurance will be painful) and it'll need to be reliable. Any sensible suggestions would be appreciated and considered!
