One car magazine too many.

Advantages: Lots of colour. Smells great!
Disadvantages: Facts incorrect. Biased tests. Messy layout. Overuse of colour.

...to read were the comparison test on my own car. (Just in case you are interested, they wrote this article using a combination of 17 different print / background colours!) I did not have to read very far to realise that the car they had photographed and tested was not the car discribed or priced against its more expensive competitors in the comparative data section.

The simple mistake was that they had an £18,900 Sport model rather ...
...so many publications that do this so much better - stick to "What Car" and you will not go too far wrong.

My advice firmly remains however, there is no substitute for a decent test drive, whatever any magazine says one man's meat remains another man's poison.  ... more

How to pass your Driving Test in 3 months flat!

Advantages: Amazing sence of achievement, and FREEDOM!!!
Disadvantages: Very soon you become Mum's TAXI!

the speed limits on those roads, and drive to just within them if it is safe, otherwise you will be marked down for not making reasonable progress. - Make sure you know the car you are driving for your test, especially for the 'show me tell me' part. You also need to know how to turn on the headlights, windscreen wipers etc just in case. Make sure you know how to lock / unlock the car, it sounds obvious but modern cars can vary. - Make full use of your ADI's knowledge all the way through, if you don't understand, ask. You are paying him good money so get the most out of your lessons. - I took the herbal remedy 'Kalms' for a couple of weeks leading up to my test, and for a couple of weeks afterwards, too. This helped me a great deal. I was so chuffed to pass first time, after 3 months and 43 lessons. That was two and a half weeks ago ...

Review of Member advice on Passing your Practical Driving Test

Renault Clio dCi Dynamique!!

Advantages: Very Economical and stylish
Disadvantages: None

Wow!! What a excellent little car !? I have just passed my driving test, so after many months? if not years of scrimping and scraping so that I could save up for a car I went out and bought the first car that I like the look of. And I choose this beauty! (I know that was foolish as I should have done my research but that gut instinct was correct and I'm pleased with my choice.) The car I choose was a Renault Clio Dynamique (100) 1.5 dCi Its features: Standard Renault alloy wheels Remote central locking Powered steering Air bags ABS brakes Along with the standard spec of a Renault Clio but ? what sets the Dynamique version apart from others is its sports styling; It has 15-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, front foglamps and sports seats. Automatic headlamps and rain-sensing wipers as standard ...

Review of Renault Clio 1.5 dCi

BMW 325 ci coupe (2000-X)

Advantages: powerful, good build quality, reliable
Disadvantages: thirsty. expensive servicing

Having been looking for a bmw coupe for several months and test driving various models i bought a 325 the car drives superb as well as looking great. It has all the buttons and gadgets you could possibly need. having test driven the 316, 318, and 320 there was just no comparisson between them the 325 just blows them out of the water the cars appear to be flawless and if well looked after i have been informed can easily reach 200000 miles so dont be put off by high milage cars. My car has done just shy of 100000 but i had a drive in one that had done 47000 and even with the mileage i couldnt tell the difference. as with everything there has to be a couple of downfalls. they are thirsty dont believe what the book tells you there is no chance of you getting 40mpg out of one of these closer to 30 if you drive sensibly also ...
