  • Mini Sony Nav-U70T satnav review 13 Mar 2006 (Forum)
    It also doesn't do that irritating thing of trying to re-route you back to the original for miles after it's obvious a new route is better (a la Lexus I'm afraid) Three D map zooms in and out automatically as you approach junctions nicely, and there's a two D one too that shows points of interest etc. There seem to be about a billion of those. We haven't yet worked out if anything can be done with speed cameras - not built in as poi.

  • Replacing my Audi Convertible 13 May 2024 (Forum)
    So after a suitable period of mourning I am looking for a replacement.  Looking for something similar, convertible or coupe but now want an automatic. I like the A5 but understand the multitronic gearbox is to be avoided, which leaves BMW or Mercedes. Looked at a C class coupe and E class convertible over the weekend. The sad thing is that 4 years ago I paid £3,600 for an 11 year old car with 100,00 miles now I am looking at £7,000 for a 12-14 year old car, also with 100,000 miles.
