• BMW 116d EfficiencyDynamics - BMW 116d EfficiencyDynamics fuel consumption? 4 Oct 2016 (Forum)
  Having read the claimed fuel consumption figures for the BMW I was expecting to get well into the mid 70's mpg. so you can only imagin my dissapointment in only achieving figures in the mid to high 40's, despite driving as feather footed as I know how to. If there are any other 116d EfficiencyDynamics owners on the forum, or even HJ himself, I would be interested to hear what kind of figures they are achieving.

• Inconsiderate car door opening 16 Jul 2016 (Forum)
  There are two categories: a) Those who stop at the side of the road and leave the o/s car door open in traffic coming, forcing the traffic to give it a wide berth or stop if there's something coming the other way. I always either let traffic pass before opening the door or if I need to get something out, I'll open the n/s door and reach across if needed.

• Ford Focus Mk1 - Ford Focus Mk1 or Mk2, Zetec.. Or ST170 24 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  Is it false economy if it needs constant repairs etc.,    I see no end of Mk1's on the road which is a good advert  to the quality, but my gut feeling is to hold on until I might be able to afford a Mk2, that said they still seem out of my budget. If a car this old is really not an issue and I check F/S/H service stamps etc, then would the ST170 be worth looking at as it seems to have everything- only thing that concerns me is the mpg which if I am on a tight budget it seems daft to buy something that is going to consume fuel like there's no tomorrow!
