• Best 7 seater 4x4 or similar? 5 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  But I love the cabin size etc Need a 7 seater for family/shared school runs but also one that's presentable for taking clients/work colleagues in. 4x4 desirable as we tow a kayak trailer from time to time. I also like the 'height' of a 4x4 type car. Considering xc90 or x5. But also an s-max. Any thoughts or other suggestions? Thanks

  I'm currently looking for a second hand Saab 93 for upto £6500 but have noticied that there are a few nice 95's in the same price bracket.

• Ford KA, KA2, KA3 (1996 - 2008) - Ford Ka, good first car? 1 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  My daughter is hoping to take a test soon and wants to buy a car to practise in and drive once she's passed her test. (she's unable to add herself to our cars insurance) She has a max of £1,500 and likes the Ka. At this price there are quite a few available. I have to go and look at a few in the next day or so, so is there anything I should look out for ( I believe they can have a tendency to rust) and is it a good buy?

• Honda CR-V vs Mazda CX-5 30 Aug 2022 (Forum)
  Hi, My budget is £10k. Diving not much (max 3-5 k a year), mainly commuting and shopping on short distances. Looking for a SUV with petrol engine. I wish to have AT, however for newer models this would be much more than my budget. So I wondering, if would be better to choose older model of CR-V (like 2012-2-13) with AT and 2.0 V-tec petrol, which I can get under £10k depends from millage and condition, or CX-5 petrol 2.0 Sky Active newer model (2015-2016) but only with manual gearbox.
• Ford Focus - Ford Focus 1.0 ecoboost coolant fault 19 Jul 2017 (Forum)
    On checking FordETIS website, turns out there's a recall on my vehicle, and has been since April 2015.  I didn't buy the car until August 2016.  Should the garage that sold it to me not have checked there were no outstanding recall notices? If the engine does need replaced (if further damage has been caused), should the garage I bought it from be liable for the cost??

• Ford Mondeo Vignale - AWD estate 7 Aug 2017 (Forum)
  Hi Folks, I'm pondering replacing my trusty avensis with an awd estate. Safety and reliability are high on the requirements. I've been looking at xc70s 2015 onwards and possibly a mondeo vignale (I know I know) but discounts of 20% are available. I've discounted the skoda superb due to the weird load area. I had considered a Subaru but the dealer network is spa*** to say least.
