• 21 Apr 2018 (Forum)
  RE: 'Reduced circumstance' and 'Gearsick' I'm surprised, given he likes and recommends it, that HJ didn't recommend the Mazda CX-3 2.0 petrol SE-L Nav Auto for these people - a decent drive, ride comfort is fine on the 205/60 R16 tyres and the seating position is raised compared to the 2 and 3 - essentially a small CX-5 with a very nice auto box for the petrol engine. Neither party said they needed huge boot space (the CX-3's is average if you avoid the Sport model and get the add-on [expensive] space-saver tyre/wheel). I found it very good to drive when I tested it, just rather over-priced when new. I would hope if the people above go for a test drive in the newer KIAs/Hyundais (not the old Venga/ix20) that they check the ride quality, as the review on the HJ website side they were rather firm riding, like CX-3's Sport version.

• Ford Fiesta - condensation in fiesta headlight 29 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  Hi all, just a quick query, if i may?. My daughter has a standard 2005 Fiesta 1.25 Zetec and the O/S headlamp is always full of condensation, the N/S is fine. It's becoming a pain in the butt, as in the past three weeks she's had to have two blown bulbs replaced. The car was dealer bought a few months back, sadly now out of warranty, although all the lights were fine when she bought it.
