• MINI Options 11 May 2004 (Forum)
  I\'m looking at getting myself a new Mini. I can either get a regular Cooper, or stretch to a pretty poverty-spec Cooper S. Has anyone any idea how this will affect residuals. A/C is a £700 option and I\'m concerned that not having it will make it harder to shift a few years down the line. Would I be better off giving up on the Cooper S and settling for a well spec-ed standard Cooper?

• V8s, boxers, V6s why sound nice? 1 Mar 2004 (Forum)

There must be a scientific explanation somewhere why an offbeat V8 burble sounds pleasing. Something to do with odd and even harmonics perhaps...?

• Toyota Yaris - Replacement car for daughter 25 Aug 2025 (Forum)
  Possible alternative vehicles could include Mazda 2, Hyundai i20, Ford Fiesta and Ka+, Suzuki Swift, Kia Rio and maybe Ceed. Not on the list would be anything with DSG, powershift, pure-tech, 1.0 ecoboost. A preference for Japanese/Korean and as young as possible, and to avoid small city type cars.
