• Does new consumer rights act 2015 apply to my car? 21 Nov 2015 (Forum)
  First post - apologies if this is not the right place. I purchased a new car (Vauxhall Astra).  The car was registered on 30 Sept, but I didn't pick it up from the dealer (& part exchange my old car) until October 2nd.  It now has a major intermittent fault which started in the first 2 weeks and which was attempted to be repaired by the supplying dealer.

• Yaris - Yaris 1.0 Kerb Weight 19 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  Now the little 1.0 is just about OK pushing my car along, but have the newer models gained weight over the years?. I just took a test drive in the latest model, and whilst it felt OK, it seemed to need a bit more reving. A may get a newer version of the old shape (3 years old), and again is that the same weight as my current yaris?
• Honda Jazz Hybrid - Honda Jazz Hybrid 15 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  My wife is in the market for a year old Jazz CVT.  We've been offered a year old Hybrid by a Honda dealer.  We hadn't considered a Hybrid but the price for this one is attractive and all Hybrids have the CVT transmisssion.    The reviews on the Hybrid are broadly favourable.
