• Ford Focus MK1 - NCAP - older vehicle safety. 28 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  In the frontal impact, the child restraints protected the 18-month and the three-year-old. But the three-year-old’s head was not contained within the restraint during the side impact. I am not in a position to upgrade to a safer vehicle unfortunately and we have a baby on the way, also the Civic is a 3 door which looks like a bit of a pain..But more alarming is the first sentence in the test.

• 60 plate Astra- two engines in two years 4 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  Been talking to my niece, whose friend's Astra's engine blew up last night due to lack of oil and they had to be towed 130 miles home. When I thought this was an old car, I was shocked to hear this was a 60 plate, which had recently had a full service, and apparently the engine blew up a year again due to lack of oil. This clearly is pathetic on a 2 year old fully serviced car and now the dealer is saying that her friend has to pay for the second engine, even though it was not his fault.
