  • Mercedes - Have they solved the rust issues? 21 Feb 2014 (Forum)
      I've tried asking at a main dealer but couldn't get a straight answer! Yes I know I'll be looking at getting a car that will be towards 10years old and accept the odd small rust spot, but you see many other brands that stand the test of time well rust-wise.  I don't want to buy a lemon that will blister with rust spots, as I plan on keeping it for around 3years.

  • Toyota Corolla and Verso (2002 - 2007) - Come back Laguna,all is forgiven!! 25 Nov 2008 (Forum)
    Hi, Having had a few largish bills for my old Laguna 1 in succession,I decided i would get rid and invest in a toyota as the trade tell me they are 'bulletproof'.So i bought a 05 Corolla Automatic...seemed like a good idea....big mistake! Although the Laguna is a much older design car,the level of comfort and refinement is way above that of the Corolla.Despite being a low mileage,fsh example i find the engine/gearbox very noisy at PARK or low revs,although the box is very smooth.Tyre noise from the front is,in my opinion,excessive.My wife has an old clio auto which is considerably quieter at 70mph!
  • Little things that prevent a purchase 27 Mar 2008 (Forum)
    My cash was ready and waiting, price almost right, deal nearly done. Then I got put off by the smallest of things. The Colt CZ1 is almost 2 years old with no problems (apart from a few rattle in the dash), with the Mitsubishi service deal at £150 it doesn't cost much to trade in for exactly the same car again, so I was ready to have one after a few calls.
  • mpv for towing? 14 Aug 2006 (Forum)
    Family of 6 need to upgrade beaten up old 405 estate and need some advice! There a fairly big list of criteria new car needs to fit! This is sole family car, so needs to be fairly economical to run - (at least, no really big 4x4's) At least 6 seats Not too low slung - We live out on the moors and lanes get big ruts - 405 just about ok, old Mondeo would lose it 's exhaust from time to time.
