• Citroen DS3 - DS3 Xenon Full LED H/L, a Dazzling Fashion Icon ! 19 Sep 2014 (Forum)
  Indeed, when driving along country lanes at night it should be possible to build in a sensor that detects the lights from any oncoming car and then automatically switches your head lights from 'full power on main beam' to 'a lower power on dipped beam', as per traditional Halogen headlamp bulbs rated at 60/55 watts. 5)  However to actually be proud that your latest DS3 cars will dazzle everybody is HIGHLY IRRESONSIBLE.

• NEVS 9-3 is up for testing! - Saab 27 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  First out was the magazine “Vi Bilägare“, one of Sweden’s biggest car-magazine. Their tester Calle Carlquist drove a car with the automatic transmission, and he thinks the driving experience is completely modern and he also think NEVS has succeed with their idea that the car should feel sporty but still be comfortable. So he has a positive first impression and think it’s a good car that don’t feel ready for retirement, but the drawback is that it’s missing some of the latest techology.
• Ford Mondeo IV (2007 - ) - Three weeks with a 2.0 TDCi auto 15 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  I could adjust volume, but changing channels or the radio band/cd proved impossible. Bluetooth didn't automatically pair the phone every time it found it. Not everything has been moved for RHD - in particular the heated screen and rear window buttons are a long way from the driver. In LHD they would be perfect.
• Volkswagen Golf IV (1998 - 2004) - Diesel versus Mazda 6 Petrol 13 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  I do mostly short urban runs, and I've decided it's going to have to be a diesel. It also has to be an automatic, and most crucially of all, must not cost any more to buy than I can get for my 6, which is in the region of £4.5-5K. It also needs to be at least a Golf sized car, and it has to have ISOFIX and a minimum 4-star NCAP rating.

  this is why I loved it: great looks, stealthy, and in dark perlescant blue, a real head turner (yes I know this is subjective) gorgeous leather interior well kitted out, CD Changer, AIRCON, electric sunroof (after market fit), Good value, I found an immaculate example with 80K miles on it, R Reg, for under £4K.. lovely responsive automatic Smooth power delivery Fast cruiser as opposed to hard core sports appeal Exclusive, you simply do not see many around - I like that. Friends were stopping and asking me what it was. In original (un modded form) avoids boy racer image But, i wrote it off after 2 weeks, first road accident in 18 years of driving.
• Towing Trailers..... 18 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  There was a change on 1 January 1997 to the category of licence issued to a driver on passing the car driving test. Previously, categories B, B+E and C1+E were granted automatically, but Since that date it has become necessary for further tests to be passed. This does not apply to holders of licences issued before 1 January 1997, where "grandfather rights" apply. In other words, the additional categories are not removed.
