• Ford grand cmax. - honda crv - What's best 31 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  Hello all I have another post about the honda CRV . But on this post I wondered what people thought about spending £10k on a ford grand c max 1.5 diesel that's about 3.5 years old or a honda CRV that's nearly six years old . Not so much about the cars as such more about reliability and general running costs over the next few years

• PT Cruise replacement 22 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  I don't know if a petrol Berlingo would be OK or not ? My suggestions are: ? Citroen C4 Picasso or, original Xsara Picasso. ? Ford C-Max, possibly S-Max ? Maybe, a SEAT Altea (XL) not sure if it is raised enough. ? VW Touran ? Nissan Cashcow ? At a push a Renault Scenic or Vauxhall Zafira though, he may not remain a friend if I recommend either of these.
