• Any - Cars for tall people (6' 4")? - and my experience. 26 Mar 2017 (Forum)
    My criteria for a car is as follows: 1) Smallish - so I can park in tightish spots (Fabia, Jazz to Focus, Civic) 2) Good on the MPG - I don't want a thirsty car 3) Something half reliable - something that isn't French :-s 4) Cheap - I'm not fussed about the make as I'm not a label person I guess I'm looking for suggestions like, for example, "I would've thought the Ford Focus has lots of legroom but it doesn't", or "a Honda Jazz looks tiny but it has lots of legroom".

• Ford SportKA SE 1.6 (2004) - Temperature light keeps coming on, but not overhea 24 Mar 2016 (Forum)
  It was cold from overnight and I had drove just 1 minute when the temperature light came on. It wasn't even hot. It was a 20 minute drive to the garage, 3/4's of the way there I could hear very loud bubbling inside as I stopped at the roundabout and I could see some very slight steam coming out. Giving the garage all the information and pulling the car into their bay with some steam coming off it, I left it with them.

  The 19 year old had apparently admitted liability. All was fine until now, 7 months later, the little s*** is now saying he has "changed his mind" and he wasnt even the one who crashed the car. When you google his details, you see that he sold the accident damaged car just over a month ago.... and thats when he magically changed his mind about what happened.

• Skoda Roomster Se TSI 86bp - The first new car purchase 16 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  We went to the local Maidstone dealers and test drove all found nothing wrong with driving the Ix20 and the Venga in fact quite a nice drive but found that the boot space was not big enough to accomidate a rather athritic old colly and a colly cross lab also the dashboard controls resembled a fighter plane and rather confusing. We then went to the local Maidstone Skoda Daler and they led us have the Roomster S with theTSI 86 bp engine for the morning to road test so we were able to drive it on motorway, A roads and minor country roads. I was an experience, lovely car to drive. It has reasonable acceleration we got to 80 mph without knowing it on the motorway, great visability all round as you are seated higher than a normal car and a great experience.

  Hi All Bare with me here, I tend to go on a bit! I currently have an Audi A3 Sportback S-Line 1.4 TFSI Auto company car, this goes back in September.  I cover 20k per annum roughly. I have recently become a father and am finding that space is previous, cloth seats get stained, and sports suspension + low profile tyres are killing me.
