• Further to the views re. Vitara offered here .... 24 Dec 2018 (Forum)
  (They do the one litre auto. in the SZT which is around £18,500 at a broker.)   If you compared it to a KIa Niro Hybrid DCT automatic  (as they all are) it would be £21,400 in the "2" spec. at a broker. Both sensible and similarly sized. One has 3 yr warranty, one has 7 yr warranty. One will be more economical fuel wise.

  Hi, I after a practical 4 door car with a big boot size/good rear legroom that is classed as fast from late 2009 reg onwards. Preferably petrol automatic and preferably a smaller engine so engine can get warmer quicker for cold starts for city driving needed for a quicker better MPG.

• Any - New car purchase - which one of these 3? 11 Oct 2017 (Forum)
  Looking at the Alfa Guilia Veloce (280 BHP), a BMW 440i Gran Coupe or the Jag XE (300 BHP).  All 3 are petrol automatics. I've negotiated (to a point) deals on all 3 cars.  The cheapest is the Alfa (£32k), next is the Jag (£33k) and then BMW (£37k). I've had test drives in the Alfa and the XE and will do one soon in the 440i.
• Ford ku - Gearbox replacement charge 27 Sep 2017 (Forum)
  Apart from appalling customer service I have an issue with charges ford are trying to apply. In Feb this year I purchased an automatic 3yr old kuga with FSH and 17,500 miles on clock. Also purchased 3yr extended warranty. Six weeks ago whilst driving there was a huge bang under the car followed by rattling noise. Garage have said bolt has become loose which has caused irreparable damage to gearbox and gearbox casing.
• Any - Cheap Reliable People Carrier 16 Aug 2017 (Forum)
  The first was a grey import diesel Lucida that blew its engine after a year and was sold for peanuts. After that they got a Galaxy automatic diesel on HP. Now after an expensive year (injectors and other issues after the relatively short warranty expired) it is another non-runner. The engine shakes more than the Austin Cambridge I owned forty years ago did after a plug lead fell off!

• Rover 416gsi 1993 - Driving a car thats been stood for a few years 1 Mar 2017 (Forum)
  Hello folks,    I recently have been given a 1993 rover 416gsi from an old relative who has given up driving,and as i now need an automatic thought it might be worth a shot. The car has done 66,205 miles and has full service history and has been garaged all its life. The only thought i have had is the car has done barely 400 miles in the last three years and in the last 10 years has not even done 3000 miles.
