  • Buying a new car is nightmare 24 Nov 2008 (Forum)
    SWMBO X reg Yaris 1.3SR is now due for renewal - so I spent this last week looking around and being a long term Mazda man - we ( I ) decided on Mazda 3 auto - ran down autotrader etc and gleaned prices of 06-07 -08 cars and prices - fine -- today we went to local Ford/Mazda dealer to look and in showroom was a unregistered 1.4 Fiesta Ghia petrol on offer for £9999 (pre facelift)- £3k off list (Yea) this car has everything but auto and heated seats but doing the sums it seems more practical to go for manual than auto and it's cheaper to run than Mazda.
  • Hi-viz or not ? 1 Mar 2025 (Forum)
    Front-page news in today's Times says that a US study has found that 'hi-viz jackets and reflective strips ... can make cyclists and pedestrians invisible to modern car safety systems'.  The vehicles tested were a Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5 and a Forester.  'Every time, the Honda and the Mazda hit a dummy with strips without slowing' - the Forester was rather better. Back to the drawing board ?
