  What the AA and RAC Don’t Tell You 24 Sep 2003 (News)
  That’s because they’re based on real, hard average costs rather than perception, opinion and memory. Top and bottom rankings are less important than the overall index based on average warranty costs for each marque and each model in each marque for which there is sufficient data. Mazda does particularly well in all the surveys.

  Cheap and Dear at Auction Today 23 Aug 2002 (News)
  With a Tsunami* of September part-exchanges racing towards us, prices today polarised between fair to dear for the status stuff and rock bottom for repmobiles. The 2000W Merc SLK200K six-speed manual in the photo was an import with 22,000 miles. The good book says a high £20,875 for a UK 200K and I thought this was dear selling at £18,800. A 33,000 mile 2000W BMW 320D SE Touring also took all the money at £14,100.

  Q&A: Moray Callum, chief designer of the new Ford Mustang 5 May 2015 (News)
  We took on board the criticism of last time and I think we’ve fixed it now in terms of the quality of the materials and the level of craftsmanship. [But] it’s still visually very much a Mustang interior, which is really important. You also have to remember that this is a real value proposition – it’s not a supercar. Although we have great performance it’s still a very good value car. I think the overall balance is really good.

  Opec deal could push up fuel prices by 9p-per-litre 1 Dec 2016 (News)
    Check out Real MPG "The oil price will react in the coming days and weeks, likely pushing pump prices up in the short term, but it is what happens into 2017 that will be most important in determining if the days of relatively low price of fuel that drivers have benefited from this year are coming to an end," said Simon Williams.  "The sterling/dollar exchange rate is also crucial – as oil is traded in dollars a weaker pound, like we’ve seen since the EU vote, can have the effect of pushing prices in the UK up.
