• Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 31-08-2019 21 Sep 2019 (Forum)
  Which Car "expert" answered a query form someone about an HRV - he dismissed the HRV as under powered. This was probably based on their "expert review" of the 2015 1,5's. He recommended a CRV!! - the query was from a driver of a 12 year old Jazz - even the slow HRV would be OK for a driver of an asthmatic Jazz. Obviously they had not done their homework on the 1.5 Sport than can do 0-60 in roughly 8 seconds.
• Ford Mondeo - Mondeo Autobox 2 Nov 2023 (Forum)
  I am dubious that life meant much over 10 years old and 100k! Do you think the oil and filter change are worth trying in case it is now s sludge box rather than a slush box?  
• Ford Mondeo - Vandals 8 Mar 2018 (Forum)

• Max Bids at Auction 25 May 2009 (Forum)
  Hi All, Through a friend who had a BCA account I once bought a car at an auction without attending cos it was 200 miles away. This was done by registering a max bid for the vehicle. I got the car but I paid only £100 short of my max bid and ever since I have been suspicious. I mean it would be easy for them to work up the price a bit wouldn't it, even taking bids from an imaginary bidder to get the price and the commission up.

  Well done, accurate and right to the point. I love my C-Max 2.0 TDCi Ghia and rank it as one of the best cars I have ever owned. Maybe I'm getting older (heading for 50) but there's nothing out there I want to change it for.
• Which new car to buy? 2 Apr 2019 (Forum)
  Also very boring range of colours. Used Ford B-max - feels very comfortable but not a lot of choice in colours I like.   I haven't sat in a Jazz for a couple of years but I felt it was very narrow which made me feel cramped.
