• Volkswagen Golf V estate (2007 - ) - 10,000 mile report 18 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  Excellent front seats, with all the adjustments you could need - the steering wheel also adjusts both ways so if you can't get comfortable it's something you ate. Good precise gearchange: I miss an automatic less than I thought I would. I could have had DSG, but the Mercedes drone put me off 4-cylinder diesel automatics, possibly for life. Touching wood, nothing whatsoever has gone wrong or fallen off.

• Struggling to choose cars for under £8.5k, family 14 Jul 2025 (Forum)
  I know estates exist but I would like to avoid them (can't get the wife to agree to them!). Any other hatchback would feel like a sideways move. It would need to be automatic. And ULEZ compliant. And be nice to drive on the occasional motorway trip. I did have the "German luxury" itch a few days ago and started looking at 10 year old 5 Series', but they're so gosh darn long.

• Nissan Micra - Nissan Micra K11 auto-any good? 25 Oct 2023 (Forum)
  Hi there. A friend of mine is giving up her K11 Nissan Micra manual to her son-she wants an automatic as she feels less confident on the roads now. She wants another small car. I know that Japanese cars are very reliable, so I'm looking at Jazz's, Yaris', and some Starlets. However, does anyone know if the Nissan Micra K11 with the CVT auto gear box is any good?

• Who does the best/worst driver-assist features? 14 Aug 2023 (Forum)
  The car would routinely mis-identify lanes, sound a siren and flash a screen telling me to stop, pop-up unhelp warning whenever approaching roundabouts, and it would release the handbrake prematurely when starting on hills. It wasn't a feature set that impressed me. I've read that automatic emergency braking (AEB) triggering erroneously has been an issue with some cars, including Hondas. I expected better from Honda. There doesn't seem to be any quality standard for this feature set.
