• Honda Jazz - Replacement for Honda Jazz 1 Jun 2025 (Forum)
  I was told in no uncertain terms to leave well alone, and flagged instead towards the no doubt excellent Mazda CX3 and its slightly bigger sibling, the CX30. Still thinking along those lines, and I now have the money in the bank to do something decisive. Question this time, however, is about the Nissan Qashqai.
• N/A - Low-profile wheels/tyres 31 Dec 2023 (Forum)
  I've been meaning to post this for a while. As some may recall, I'm running a Mazda CX-5 and have been very impressed with the car - except for one thing. It's the SportNav model and that means the dreaded low-profile wheel/tyre set-up. (The specs are 225/55R19/99V.) The ride, on original Toyo Proxes tyres, was pretty harsh.
• Time to choose another car 19 Oct 2023 (Forum)
  I drive over 15,000 miles/year, mainly motorway miles with a 270-mile each-way trip once a fortnight.  My trusty 2012 Mazda 6 2.2d at nearly 200k miles is going from trusty to rusty, so time to think about replacing it.  I average around 56mpg on the motorway, and do very little town driving.  The other car in the family is a Renault Captur, which I enjoy driving but it's not been reliable unfortunately, as it doesn't like periods of not being driven, e.g. 3 weeks between being used.
