• Two cars to choose from - what would you choose? 9 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  I'm coming up to changing my car -I get a car through the Motability scheme and have previously had a Ford Focus, and now have a C-Max. I'm looking at the price list and have narrowed my choice down to two cars, the new Mondeo 2.0 Zetec Diesel, which is my sensible choice.

• Volkswagen Passat CC 08 - Is this even right or what? 5 Feb 2015 (Forum)
  I have talked to many people who own cars with similar amenities and they say their average consumptions is 42-45 mpg. I think its just a huge-huge diffrence. However during driving it goes up to 27mgp or max 30mpg. But I tried to clear the data during driving and once it was cleared the consumption was at 47mpg.  To check the final value of the consumption I have  filled up to the max and I drove a 100 miles and after I refuelled to max again.
