Mazda CX-5 - Buying Advice 18 Apr 2020 (Forum)
We would be buying used (2017-2019) and looking to spend £22-25k, hoping to keep the car for 7+ years, potentially to carry around a second child too. We will buy an automatic.

Ford Fiesta - '09 Fiesta Electrical Issue 4 Jan 2020 (Forum)

Lexus 460 - what connects the steering 27 Apr 2019 (Forum)
If the driver then returns the steering wheel very fast, this could lead to a steering wheel off-centre condition even though the driving wheels would be straight. This phenomenon will be resolved automatically in a few seconds and the driver may notice this correction as the steering wheel centre moves slowly by itself to the centre position when driving straight during the correction operation. -
