• MPV for 4 kids. 27 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  The Mazda 5  realistically is 2+2+2  as the middle rows, middle seat is probably too small for a booster or child seat. I am leaning toward the FR-V with the thinking that as the children are all so small shoulder room wouldn't be a massive problem in the front, especially with the offset front centre seat.

• Any - Recommend me an automatic family car 17 May 2024 (Forum)
  I've previously had manuals but my wife will only drive automatic and whilst this will be my car, I'd like something she can drive when needed. My previous cars have been Honda CR-V and Mazda 6 both of which I loved but don't necessarily need something as large. I do around 12,000 miles a year, with regular dual carriageway and around town driving. Budget is £15K, and whilst I'm in North East Scotland, I'm happy to travel anywhere in UK.
• ADVICE NEEDED: getting rid of old car 22 Apr 2024 (Forum)
  We can't have a gap with no car but equally don't want to spend money on the old car unnecessarily.  Current car is 2006 Mazda 6 which we got 3 years ago from a family member for £400. It's been very reliable, no problems, but will now not pass MOT and is likely to cost about £500 to get required repairs done.  How can I replace this car quickly, without spending loads of money on it?
