• Honda Jazz - Honda Servicing - Am I getting a proper Service ? 26 Jun 2012 (Forum)
  On behalf of my Mum - 75 years young :-) She bought a brand new Honda Jazz i-Shift in 2009 and also the Honda Happiness Fixed Price Servicing Plan for 5 Services.  Bought the car as it got good reviews from HJ and wanted as little trouble as possible - she is very happy with the car and finds i-Shift no problem.
• Lexus RX400h - RX400h owner's review for gordonbennet 20 Jun 2019 (Forum)
  I bought a 2006 Lexus RX400h four years ago, despite being and old git I was stupid enough to land myself with a young child and couldn’t spend four weekends a year maintaining my beloved P38 Range Rover, nor risk it breaking down – not that it ever did. So I bought Japanese. The car had done 50K miles, this period coincided with a massive drop off in my annual mileage so I’ve only put another 50K on it since.
• Scooter and motabilty car - Whiplash scam best way forward advice needed 2 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  The damage is consistent with a front end impact followed by the vehicle falling to the ground. A young man was also present at the scene we presumed him to also be in the car however the claim form states there was only one other person in the vehicle. Only damage I noticed on the vehicle was that the rear bumper had been dislodged on the left hand side and had 2 small holes.
• Nissan Micra - 14 day French road test 27 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  One afternoon my wife and I walked down a scenic country road near Cahors in a touristy area for 4 km and were not passed by a single motor vehicle. Driving showed little gallic flair - drivers were invariably polite, and in 2 weeks I didn?t see any driving that raised my eyebrows. If I may be permitted a non-motoring tip, French supermarkets no longer give out poly bags. We learned this the hard way when we popped into a supermarket and loaded up with supplies.
• RIP Diesel Hatchback 20 Jun 2020 (Forum)
  As a young junior salesman I had to pick my cars from the low value or supermini range and while there’s fun to be had from wringing the neck of a small capacity normally aspirated petrol motor in a small fwd car I soon settled into the habit of picking what is fast becoming extinct today, the diesel supermini.
• Letter from the Colonies 5 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  Every establishment has a security guard on the door and if you tip him P20 (that\'s about 5 pence) he\'ll watch your vehicle for you. Taxi hire in UK: I have a very nice driver chappie who will pick me up at LHR and take me to T/Wells. He has a comfortable Vectra and is very chatty and reliable. He charges £75 for an hour and a bit journey. I have no doubt this is reasonable.
• A week with an MG3 26 Jun 2014 (Forum)
  It wouldn’t get kicked out of VW’s quality bed for badly designed f***ing. The only let down is the driver’s seat in this car which sometimes creaks. Day 4: Britain is gripped by WIND CHAOS this morning. The MG3 seems to cope perfectly well with a firm breeze. Mind you, so do all the other cars on road.
• First wheels 7 May 2007 (Forum)
  The oscillation was far more violent than I expected and I lacked the courage for the McRae solution, being a very inexperienced driver, so I slowed to a crawl instead and then cautiously got back up to speed. It occurred three times on the way to Chiswick. Having no money and no licence I gave (he says I took 25 quid off him for it, but I don?
