• Second hand van advice 20 Sep 2024 (Forum)
  With fairly decent tidy bodywork but don't mind the odd ding.  So it's really down to - Ford Transit, Citron Relay, Renault Masters or Vauxhall Movano. I understand that the Relay and Masters are essentially the same van just with a different badge? And that you pay a little extra for a Ford.  I really like the Transits having driven a few but I'm just wondering whether it's worth paying the bit extra, if you get anything more for that such as reliability or cost of parts, servicing etc or whether it's just the name?

• Kia Ceed - Technology and Driver Conveniences 31 Dec 2021 (Forum)
      It’s interesting that the manufacturers don’t necessarily follow the good ideas of other manufacturers. When I have driven Renaults the feature where if you squirt the screen wash and there is a few second delay before the last wipe which clears away the inevitable drips from above the screen is not there on the KIA.

• James Ruppert 26 Apr 2020 (Forum)
  This week he has written an article about buying a car for the price of an annual bus pass (£625 from memory) but instead of suggesting a list of robust, simple, reliable petrol engined mass produced cars for which parts are cheap and available he’s went off on one with a list of the worst cars you could possibly buy on such a tight budget from a turbo diesel Renault Espace to big BMW’s, Mercs, Jags, a V8 Audi through diesel Volvo estates with interstellar mileages and Saab Convertibles even an Alfa Romeo. It is in fact a list of cars you shouldn’t buy for £625.

• High seating car with low insurance. 28 Feb 2017 (Forum)
  Currently drive a renault kadjar on fleet insurance. Hopefully daughter should pass her driving test in a few months. She is 21. My contract at work is due to end soon and due to bad health I might take some time off. I am a large guy width wise with bad back and knees.
• Citroen C4 BlueHDi100 - Potential power steering fault 14 Feb 2017 (Forum)
  I have recently bought a C4 BlueHDI100 new from a Citroen dealer simply because it was well equipped, comfortable and had exceedingly cheap finance after all the discounts (what can I say, cheapskate). After having a Peugeot, Citroen and Renault before I've never really had problems. The car has covered 2200 miles in about 1.5 months from new. I have noticed in my last trip to the midlands, the steering feeling abnormally heavy.
• Which of these cheap 90s cars as my first car? 3 Feb 2017 (Forum)
  I don't really care about age or mileage (I like old stuff anyway), just for it to be a nice cheap starter with some character. I've gained an interest in the following cars: Renault Clio (1991) Nissan Micra (1993) Nissan Micra (1998) Fiat Cinquecento Toyota Starlet (1996) Vauxhall Corsa (1993) Citroen Saxo/Peugeot 106 (1996) VW Polo/Seat Ibiza (1994)   I seem to really like the Clio but the problem is all the ads I've seen for it was the 1.4L model, and I'm looking for a smaller engine that is cheaper to run.
