Hyundai i30 (2007 - ) - Better than Golf AND Focus according to Autocar 7 Oct 2007 (Forum)
One tester got out of the Focus swearing blind it was the Golf because of its weighty, solid feel. I thought I was going mad saying the S-Max I drove recently was as well made as any VW I've driven, but it seems if improved Ford quality is an illusion, I'm not the only one falling for it. I know Hyundai have had moments of brilliance before (with the Coupe mainly) but it's nice to see them properly challenging the "establishment". 3 grand cheaper than a Golf model for model too. -
Built in Sat Nav overpriced? 8 Nov 2006 (Forum)
Since then, the cost of sat nav units has plummeted together with all things electronic so you can get a NavMan in Tesco for under £100. However, if I want a sat nav in next year's Ford S Max, it is still going to cost £1500! That buys an awful lot of electronics these days. I appreciate that car manufacturers hope that a built in sat nav continues to have a certain cachet but I for one thing it should be included in the top of the range cars in the way that Honda do with their Exec Accords and CR-Vs. -

Octavia tyre speed rating 14 Mar 2005 (Forum)
The car is a 1.9 Skoda Octavia TDI, max speed 113 mph (181 kph) I'm looking at replacing all four tyres, so I want to shop around. The required tyre size is 195/65/R15, and the current tyres are all 'V' rated, which goes up to 240 kph (The ratings are S=180, T=190, U=200, H=210, V=240) The Michelin web site suggests H rated, and I may well go for that, but not necessarily for Michelin tyres - V expensive and quite noisy by all accounts). -

Focus gear ratios 19 Oct 2005 (Forum)
A query for any Ford experts out there. What is the correct fifth gear mph/1000 rpm figure for the C-Max with a 1.8 petrol engine? On my wife's example it is around 20, which seems a tad low to me. I'd have expected something closer to 25. -
