• Prius PHEV, circa 2017 to 2022 model. - Toyota prius braking system 8 Sep 2025 (Forum)
  So as not to further disrupt another thread i've started this one. Depending on my work situation in the next few weeks/months our choices of vehicle(s) might change, having recently had a solar system fitted it would make most sense to have a plug in hybrid, i'll only consider Toyota or Suzuki badged (made by Toyota) hybrids, Prius Plus PHEV would be better for us but are usually snapped up by taxi operators.

• Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe - Help! This is complicated.. 10 Jun 2024 (Forum)
    I hadn’t involved my insurance for the merc as I didn’t want the claim to make the new policy more expensive, and am stuck as to how to fit all the pieces together without losing too much money I don’t have.   I just need an i****s guide to the best steps to take regarding getting rid of the merc, whether to inform insurance and get it written off, how to just sc*** it without ID, or what to do with it. I’m sort of resigned to having to wait for my licence, but still don’t know whether to go through insurance or not.
• Sub £3k Petrol Estate vs Petrol MPV 3 Mar 2024 (Forum)
  For example, Ford C-max vs Focus estate, is one better for load carrying than the other? Are Zafira's any good? Are bigger MPV's like the S-Max and Alhambra uneconomical as petrols? Are Peugeot or Citroen estates/MPV's worth a punt or are they danger territory in the £3k range? It was a minefield of a search when I had just one or two models to look at, now I'm extending it to dozens of potential vehicles I'm a bit overwhelmed.
