• Audi Q2 - a year and a bit 22 Jul 2019 (Forum)
  Things worth having: Lumbar support; heated front seats (for SWMBO); power tailgate (well worth having, not least so that you can open it remotely and find the car in a car park); rear view camera; automatic high-beam assist; space-saver spare wheel; auto hill hold; and auto-dimming rear-view mirror (the last two shouldn't have been extras). I went for, but not sure I would again, the Tech Pack with the 'virtual cockpit': the main screen is atop the dashboard and angled towards the driver, so having the same map in front of you isn't much of a bonus.

• Multiple - Thoughts / opinions on the listed car ads 2 Mar 2019 (Forum)
  2) https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201902114833607 Another Auto Honda Jazz. I don't particularly require an automatic. But I am open to a change, after driving manuals for the last 22 years. Also I understand that in theory a CVT gearbox can provide optimal fuel economy, that cannot be easily matched by an average driver.

• Cadillac innovations 19 Aug 2018 (Forum)
  Cadillac's chief engineer was sufficiently intrigued to take him on, and after 1.5 million test miles, the 1929 Cadillac's debuted with the system. 1930, First production V16 engine. 1941, Fully automatic transmission. Though this actually debuted on an Oldsmobile the year before, it was a Cadillac employee (Earl A Thompson, again) who developed it. 1952, The 'Autronic eye'. This was a device which detected the headlights of oncoming vehicles and dipped the headlights.

• Jeep Grand Cherokee 2006 5.6l Hemi auto. - How compliant must I have been to use SOGA? 10 Dec 2010 (Forum)
   I parked on the road that night, and when I came to start the car in the morning, it refused to engage a gear of any sort (automatic).  I called the AA, who ran diagnostics but could only reset warnings and get it into 'limp home' mode (3rd gear).  They drove it round the block like this (a few hundred yards), and we came to the conclusion that it needed to be got to a garage.
