  Our latest test of that here:  /road-tests/mazda/mazda-cx-5-22-se-l-nav-auto-2015-road-test//   Scouts honour On 19 March I was 60 miles from home in my 30k mile 2011 Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI Scout (with which we regularly tow a caravan to Spain) when the “engine management” warning graphic flashed. I phoned my dealership (40 miles away but on the way to my home) and responded to their request to bring in the car for an inspection.

  Full Auction Report: Bangers to Supercars on 23-10-2013 26 Oct 2013 (News)
  A 14k mile 2011/61 Subaru Forester 2.0XS was £200 under ‘below average’ at £14,800s. And a 100k mile 07 Mercedes R320CSI SE 4-Matic with a tow hook was £575 under ‘below average’ at £6,300, but at 100k miles trouble was probably about to start. Potential taxis also sell well at this time of year and a 64k mile 08 Mondeo 2.0TDCI Zetec automatic made a resounding £5,400, £450 over CAP Clean.

  Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 27-6-2015 27 Jun 2015 (News)
  I have driven for over 40 years without accident or incident. Last week, the car came to a frozen halt. I was rescued and towed back 50 miles from work to Robertsons Skoda garage in Norwich where they found a burned out clutch. I am not a clutch slipper and never have been. I was charged £700, despite having told the garage in February that there was a smell of burning when I took the car in for its first service.

• Motorcaravans towing 28 May 2007 (Forum)
  I've seen increasing numbers of them towing small cars. I thought the whole point of a motor caravan was that it's a caravan that you don't have to tow, so why tow a car with it? Surely if you don't mind towing you'd just tow a caravan with your car.
