• Japannese car/truck sales in Japan Fall 8 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  Daihatsu was the worst off with sales slumping almost 50%, followed by Nissan whose sales fell 9.7%. Overall Toyota sales fell 6% though sales of its Lexus marque rose. The figures exclude 660cc minivehicles. Is this an omen for UK sales?
• Father's Day Presents Road test 20 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  No I did not get a Lexus or BMW In the land of cars I got a Meguiars Washmit & Some Autoglym Goodies. Autoglym products I have had before and if not the best available they are very good. The Meguiars Washmit is a revelation, infinitely better than "the old sponge" and a lot better than using the power Washer + attachments I bought a few months back.
• JD Power survey 2007 results 19 May 2007 (Forum)
  NA=225557&EL=3196982 {please do not post direct links to 'What Car' , ie, leave off the http part of the link - DD} A lot of the results are fairly predictable (Honda, Toyota, Lexus, Skoda at the top), but there are some unexpected ones. A few that jump out at me: 1) The most satisfying (or should that be 'satisfactory'?) Ford is the Fusion. 2) Merc A-Class beats every single Subaru. 3) In the manufactuer's league table, Jaguar beats Audi, BMW, Mercedes, & Volvo . . .
• Electric cars: new threat 16 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  I was told yesterday by a friend who has a pacemaker that someone was about to give him a lift in what he called an 'electric car' (my guess would be Prius or Lexus hybrid, as I can't imagine anyone offering anyone a lift in a GWhiz) when they thought of checking the instruction book (a substantial document, my friend said, laughing) to see whether these vehicles are contra-indicated for pacemaker wearers (or Robocops as we prefer to be known).

• Audi A4 Avant - £5k Petrol Estate 9 Feb 2021 (Forum)
  For that kind of money my options seem to be cars from about 2005 to 2010 with about 80-125k miles, things like Audi A4, Volvo V50/70, VW Passat, Ford Mondeo, Subaru Legacy. Also maybe Lexus IS250 if I'm happy with saloon. I'm looking for some thoughts on the relative reliability of cars of that age/mileage and any ones to either short list or avoid. Thanks in advance, Rhys.
• a Newer car. Used. Your suggestions 30 Jan 2021 (Forum)
  My very old diesel Volkswagen Lupo is completely unusable. And now I want a more comfortable car and a bigger one. I was thinking about a Lexus ct200h or Toyota Prius, but from the review I understud that a hybrid is more of a city car. And I live outside the city, I do not stand in traffic jams, I live in the suburbs, but I often drive on dirt roads and there are also intercity trips, the driving style is not hasty.
