• Mazda 3 - Mazda 3 (Previous) 16 Jan 2014 (Forum)
  I have had one before but hadn’t driven it to the extent that I drove this one. What a great car this is to drive, the steering, the handling, the gearchange and ride are all excellent. I regularly drive a Focus for work and I can honestly say that the Mazda is at least on a par with the Ford from a driving enjoyment point of view.

• Citroen Xsara Picasso - citroen xsara picasso juddering in gears 29 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  hi, i've just bought a citroen xsara picasso, 06 plate, 1.6 petrol. it's done 34,000 miles and is an ex mobility car. the problem i have is as i'm coming down the gears the car seems to judder or kagaroo. it is as if the car wants to stall and the only way to stop it is dip the clutch. for instance if you drive in 3rd gear then let your foot off the throttle it only takes a second before the car starts to judder??? never had a citroen before so i'm wondering if they are high geared and i have to adjust my driving style (a driving style thats been fine for the last 13 cars i've owned) or is it a clutch or drive shaft problem?

• Will I be allowed to retake my driving test? 27 Sep 2011 (Forum)
  I'm not very confident driving (even though I have a full licence) and would like to retake my driving test to see if I could pass and hopefully get better. Would I be allowed to do this, as it's surely a sensible thing to do if I'm feeling low on confidence, and I definitely want to do more than just having some refresher lessons and a mock test.
