Advantages: Picture quality and value for money Disadvantages: Freevie guide is not very user-friendly
I bought this television as I was purchasing a Playstation 3 and so needed a High Definition TV. I liked its sleek black design, and it looked much more stylish than any other TV I could find for the same price. The specification are also fairly impressive, with a dynamic contrast ration of 5000:1 and a brightness of 550cd/m2.
As well as hooking up the TV to my PS3, it is also connected to my PC and works as a second monitor. Some of the connections on the rear of the TV though, are a little close together. The VGA connector from my PC and the HDMI lead from my PS3 only just fit in next to each other. All of the other connections (Component and 2 scarts) are well spaced.
I was also impressed that you can display in the full 1366x768 resolution from my PC, as I have often read that many HDTVs only display in 1024x768 which is not ...
Advantages: reasonable price, only insurance and road tax to pay after the first year. Disadvantages: Insurance and road tax only included for first year
When my 10 year old Nissan Sunny was needing to be replaced (MOT, insurance and automobile rescue almost expired, service and repairs required) I looked around for a second – hand car, I also had a look in a Daewoo garage and saw the 3 door Lanos 1.4S for £7999, which I believed was out of my price range, however on discussion with a showroom assistant (“they don’t have salesmen”), I was offered the Lanos at a price I thought I could afford, with a special offer of 1 years free insurance and cut price purchase scheme. Delivery was scheduled on the day after the MOT expired on the Sunny, but if they could not bring this forward by a day, then they would provide a courtesy car for this period. I had just bought six months road tax for the Sunny, and was told that as the car would not have a MOT, then I would be ...
Advantages: Epic fuel economy Disadvantages: Uncomfortably loud on the motor way
If all you want is a cheap and chearful run about, the Citroen C1 should be a contender. I own a Vibe in red which is the bottom of the range model.
Features, or lack of.
Electric windows, Electric mirrors, Central locking, Air con, are just some of the things this car doesn't have. Which I do miss, but it does keep costs down. Although the integrated CD player and mp3 input are a great touch. The rear window wiper is adequate and another nice touch. As I have the three door version you have to move your seat to allow passengers in, annoyingly you have to find your original seat position from scratch.
Is it safe?
Fingers crossed I've never had an accident in it but according to Euro NCAP it has a four star safety rating. However the Vibe doesn't have side impact airbags unlike the next model up, the Rhythm. What I did think was ...
