• Do all cars drive the same these days?? 4 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  I've had 2 vectra's (the first one was so bad, I thought there was something wrong with it, hence the 2nd Vectra - which was even worse), a new shape Mondeo, a Volvo S40 and a BMW 3 series compact. In my opinion, all of these have been dreadful to drive compared to the cars I used to drive in the 90's, and maybe even the 80's. Can anyone recommend a medium size car that has a supple suspension and a civilised, smooth drive? Preferably not French, and pref not a Ford or Vauxhall and 3k - 4k to spend.

Wondering if gear box problems are common on the splash and most importantly what the consequences of the drive shaft seal leaking might be, ie, what else should I check with this in mind?

• Hard ride German cars - Long distance driving & prostate problems 24 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  I managed to get a urinary infection as a direct result of too much high speed high-adrenaline driving. The prostate is slowly recovering its old shape but its made me acutely aware of my suspension & I now drive fewer miles. I have a foam cushion {http://www.icnsales.com/chair-cushions/} which is great & am thinking about softening the suspension with new springs & shocks.

• Peugeot 406 Petrol - Driving without rear silencer 6 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  I was advised by the rescue service that they could remove the hanging silencer and then it would be safe to drive home. Bearing in mind that the remaining exhaust system would be without one of its supports and the possible intake of exhaust gases into the car, would it be OK to drive home?  Could any damage be caused to the engine?
