• Ford Scorpio 16 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  In my quest to find maximum front leg room and comfort the one I experienced recently would almost put my fathers Lexus LS 400 to shame, though, granted, without the quality and inherent reliabilty! Views of real owners most appreciated.

• Skoda Fabia (2000 - 2007) - VRs Residuals. 25 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  Apologies for going off on a tangent here...this may be of interest to you BobbyG Last Saturday I borrowed my ex's IS200 SportCross and called in at her local Lexus dealer on her behalf with a query regarding the wheels which were in a dreadful condition...she wondered whether there was a 'recall' on them. Anyway, they had a pair of 2005 Skoda Fabia VRs which had just been part exd, 23k miles on the clock, looking in as new condition.
• MotorEasy extended warranty 26 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  Unsurprisingly, all exotica are excluded (including the Fiat Croma), and higher premiums are required for large BMWs, Jags/Daimlers, Land Rovers, Audi Quattros/Turbos/V8s, Alfa V6 and turbos, Renault 25 Turbo and Safrane, and the Rover 825 -- which I guess says something statistical about not only maintenance costs (Merc and Lexus are in the same bracket in that respect) but also reliability. No additional premium required for Mercs and Lexus, it seems. Any comments?

  I want a nice car for the occasional long run and holidays. Having considered Lexus LS, Audi A8, BMW 7 series I have come to the conclusion that a nice CLK in a strong colour below 100k miles would be best. But which one and what should I be getting for £10k? Thanks
• D.J.Walker puffs HJ 8 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  The subject was that Skoda is right at the top of the favoured second hand cars, along with Jaguar and Lexus. Then JW praised HJ's column very highly. I didn't think that he would read the Telegraph, but there was I listening to Radio2.

  Looking for a used car with low cabin noise - Lexus IS250SE and Audi A4 2.0 petrol come to mind as good examples. Current car is Mercedes C250 CDI Bluemotion. Its my second in a row, and never again. Wouldnt want anything bigger than any of the above as its my "retirement" car.
