The latest version of Kia's full-size 4x4 Sorento was launched in the UK in February 2010 and immediately impressed the Total 4x4 team.

What Effect is a £2,000 Scrappage Scheme Likely to Have? 21 Apr 2009 (News)
On top of which I don’t entirely agree that scrapping a perfectly good 1999S Mondeo (Warranty Direct’s most reliable 10 year old car) will benefit the environment, or society in general. Scrapyards may not be able to cope, and small garages that kept cars like this on the road will go bust, as they have done in Germany. -

SE, via email I guess you mean: /carbycar/audi/rs6-2008/ Avant and saloon. Has had terrible results in the Warranty Direct Reliability index, based on actual warranty costs for RS6s more than 3 years old. Awesome to drive and, as we point out, it has more performance than you can actually use.

Used Van Buying Guide: Nissan NV200 2009-2019 16 Jun 2025 (News)
Around £3000 will buy you the earliest, highest mileage examples, though the £5000-£6000 price category provides a huge choice of newer examples, in higher specifications (Bluetooth equipped) in the 30,000-60,000 mileage range. Look for those offered with additional warranties from traders, or having the balance of Nissan’s own five year warranty. Spend £7000 and above and you’re getting into two to three-year old examples with good specifications and the later 90PS of the base engine, and more choices of the 110PS version. -
A rugged winter weather solution - Lada Niva 1 Sep 2011 (News)
It’s also, quite importantly, only available in left-hand drive form. That’ll put most drivers off right away, but it only takes a few minutes to get used to and the large door mirrors make visibility acceptable. It’s ideal for country lanes, too, allowing you to get right over to the verge without scraping along it. Despite all of these rather major drawbacks, which would in normal circumstances utterly blight a modern car, it’s entirely forgivable in the Niva. -

Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 16-5-2015 16 May 2015 (News)
I had to get the fan coolant unit replaced and was told this was a common problem, but unusual for such low mileage. The car was vibrating at idle when using the a/c. Also replaced have been brushings, a CV joint boot and mention was made of front and rear struts that may need attention. Would you replace or accept that these problems are the norm for this car? -

Used Van Buying Guide: Ford Transit 2006-2014 20 Nov 2019 (News)
Where can I get a van history check for a Ford Transit? Many companies offer a van history data check and we’d recommend using one, even if a used car seller says this has already been carried out. Better to spend a few pounds and be safe than sorry – and checks can be carried out online, via mobile phone or by apps on tablet PCs.
