• Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 diesel - First 5 months of ownership 25 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  I've towed a 750kg trailer almost fully loaded several times and that was hassle free and helped by the self levelling suspension that comes as standard with the 7 seater. Sitting higher than in a normal car means that I can now see what else is behind me rather than having a mirror full of trailer.
• Poor service at Honda dealers 15 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Unbelievably considering that I have just payed £364 for a service, they haven't even cleaned the car, so I advise him of this as well, and he says 'we were short of drivers, so nobody had the time to do it, but I'll make sure it gets cleaned this time'. Fine I'm happy. My wife drops the car in monday afternoon of this week, with toddler in tow. They are advised it'll take about half and hour, so she meets up with some of her mumsy friends outside and they go for a walk and a tea in some (probably) overpriced coffee shop and she returns to pick the car up one and a half hours later.
• My 1st month, 3300 miles, with an S-Max 1 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  m certainly not complaining. I have it 6 up and the engine didn?t struggle at all. I guess if I was towing, the 2.0 plant would be the one to go for. One thing I?ve discovered is that sitting higher up than I used to, I can generally start my overtaking earlier than I could in my old BMW. In reality thin means that my slower S-Max can take all the overtakes that my old BMW could.
• [C]5 go on a trip........ 21 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  The torque converter slips all over the place, it over rides you when you least expect it, and I can only imagine two uses for it ? when playing in a sporty car ? and this isn?t one, or when towing to stop it hunting. Well, it will probably do that ok. It has traffic master. It?s obviously in its early days. I got on quite well with it on motorways and actually managed to miss a couple of jams.
