  Future Classic Friday: Rover 45 16 Feb 2018 (News)
  While a Civic Aerodeck estate appeared, for example, there was never a replacement for the old-shape Rover 400 Tourer, while the four-door model needed extensive additional engineering from Rover’s own body development team before it went on sale, meaning the 400 was introduced as an incomplete line-up from the start. Honda also charged Rover full retail price for the D16 engine and automatic gearbox fitted to self-shifting 400s, making the company’s heartland of elderly motorists trickier to sell into. By the time the 45 arrived, though, Rover had moved on. It was stuck for now at least, with the Honda architecture, but it had developed its own range of CVT transmissions in conjunction with German gearbox specialist ZF, along with new derivatives of the K-series engine such as the small capacity 2.0-litre KV6, used to great acclaim in the Rover 75.

  Is this Britain’s cheapest car? 24 Mar 2017 (News)
  Well, it was filthy and for the first few miles of driving it, I did think it was destined to be a breaker - although it ran well, the heater was refusing to generate any warm air.   Given the K-Series engine’s reputation for head gasket failure, my automatic mindset was to think the worst. It was also somewhat frustrating, as on a damp and cold day, the only way to see out of the blinking thing was to keep wiping the windscreen clear and drive with the window open.

  Happy Birthday: Alfa Spider 9 Mar 2016 (News)
  The last incarnation of the Spider again saw some styling modifications – softer, rounder, body-coloured bumpers, a more upmarket cabin and an automatic transmission option were introduced, recognising the car’s appeal now as more of a grand tourer. It still handled well, but other, more modern cars were easily more nimble and it was very much the Spider’s retro appeal that was its main selling point.

  Car Crime Census 2013: How to beat the thieves 19 Aug 2013 (News)
  So you get in the house, put the kettle on and simply forget to lock your car. If you have a car with automatic folding mirrors it's a great visual way of checking whether it's locked or not, but nothing beats the reassurance of going out before you head to bed and double checking that you've locked it. Don't leave your car keys by the door  - and hide the spare We've all heard the stories of people using coat hanger wire to fish car keys through a letterbox from a hallway table, yet most of us think it will never happen to us.
