  Can you tell me of any known problems with the 2009 Mazda RX-8? I’m thinking of buying one, but want to do my homework first.
• Best 7 seater 4x4 or similar? 5 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  But I love the cabin size etc Need a 7 seater for family/shared school runs but also one that's presentable for taking clients/work colleagues in. 4x4 desirable as we tow a kayak trailer from time to time. I also like the 'height' of a 4x4 type car. Considering xc90 or x5. But also an s-max. Any thoughts or other suggestions? Thanks
• All makes - Maximum fuel efficiency speed 15 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  Radio 2's homwork query today at 6.45pm was 'at what speed would a car cover a set distance using the least fuel?' The answer was rather flimsy, but apparently 52-56 mph [ignoring all the car variables etc].
• Ford Fiesta Mk 4 - Rattle behind dashboard 26 May 2012 (Forum)
  Hi My recently acquired S reg Fiesta 1.25 has an annoying rattle behind the dash on the near/passenger side. I thought it was the hard plastics around the bulk head under the bonnet causing it which I cushioned with some foam but it isn't??

• ford fieasta - Lights Off! while filling up 17 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  I've never experienced this at any other garage and wondeed if this is a new thing that is beginning to come into being due to the obsession with H&S. Have any fires ever happen due to lights being left on and what are the chances of that happening.?  Should Mythbusters be informed? :)

• Audi A3 - Lost MW on stereo 28 Nov 2011 (Forum)
  Evening all Medium wave on my A3's stereo has disappeared.  It began a few days ago with one or other of 693 or 909 vanishing and now I can't pick up anything.  FM is still fine and I need to check LW. I presume it's not aerial related as the roof mounted aerial is as it should be and I can still get FM.

• Average Speed Cameras 7 Nov 2011 (Forum)
  Another worrying development is the habit of HGV;s to travel in the middle lane of these road works, often undertaking traffic in the third lane. They are effectively blocking in other traffic with nowhere to go if in trouble; this is not just to overtake

• Recommendation needed, budget £1,000 22 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  A medium size car, for going on distance trips with passengers in the front and back. But not huge, because I like to be able to actually park it sometimes. I am a man in my 20's and it should not have a "grandma" style to it.  So far I was thinking about a Toyota (avenis) or a Vauxhall (Astra?)... anything really as long as it's a good car. I don't mind if it's 10 years old.
• Any - Potholes 1 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  From my experience it takes Essex CC about 8 weeks to (very shoddily) fix them, but you are helping others.  So I urge you..report several today and make the b*****s work for the cash they take from us motorists. Cheers.
• Volkswagen Passat - 1.8 non-turbo engine 25 Jan 2011 (Forum)
    So, if that 1.8 petrol engine is still around, I would consider keeping an eye out for a good used Passat, three to four years old. Has anyone any advice to offer on that petrol engine and, indeed, any other aspects of a s/h Passat?    
• Fiat/Hundai - small automatic high ground clearance car 8 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  I am not in a hurry to change the car and want to do lots of research to make sure I get it right this time.  What small automatic car(s) would you recommend that do have high ground clearance.   
• Nissan Micra 04 1.4 - 'Drumming noise' 20 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  Car went for annual service at the independent garage that we've used for many years. It needed a new n/s/r tyre and they could not source a matching Conti one, so fitted a Firestone instead. Straight away it was making a 'drumming noise' mainly in the 30 - 55 mph range. We assumed it was a problem with the tyre and it has now been swapped for a matching Conti tyre, but we still have the noise.
