I just want trouble free second hand motoring. Really want a 330d touring but dont do the mileage to warrant and bills scare me. Pointless running a 330i for my mileage. Something Honda seems sensible. Was originally looking at type s’ but for the price I may aswell spend a couple of K more for...
Toying with the idea of one of these for my daily 4 mile work drive and abit of weekend fun. Reviews are so indifferent though. I liked my EP3 but they abit long in the tooth now.
Issues aside would you recommend?
Did quite a few hundred miles in a mates a couple of years back. His was circa 400bhp and it was a right laugh to drive, and seriously quick once moving. Will 1000% own a green one when I can afford a garage queen.
Only downside is the theft aspect.
Same engine as mine. Perfectly acceptable for what it is. Mine averages 50. 60 on a long run.
You can’t get the auto in the 125ps variant only the 150.
M140i is definitely my next car. As always with BMW, the facelift just instantly makes the pre-facelift completely undesirable.
Looks well in black though.
Regardless of what Ford are doing, I think you’ve reaaaaaaaally stretched out the content covering this issue. Do we need a video every time a Ford service advisor takes a sh*t. I appreciate your channel is your platform and if I don’t like it then I shouldn’t watch, which is fair enough. But...
I think most logical people would let the car be repaired in whatever way Ford see fit and proper to cure the issue. Anyone who would walk into a dealership and say, ‘I don’t wan’t a recall fix, I want a brand new engine’ is a bit of a tw*t imo.
Just to update this, the car has dissapeared without a trace. Not even a word off the police since it was reported. I suspect it was taken for parts but I suppose I’ll never know.
Settled with my insurance for £5000 which considering I paid £3500 for it is a decent outcome.
I’ve got a Leon FR technology on order. It was before the car got nicked hence why it was up for sale. Changed my job and need something economical/motorway friendly. I think the Civic will be my last foray into older cars for a while.
It was insured for £3500 as thats what I paid. On AT/PH it is probably a 4k car, which i think is why so many people wanted it. I certainly can’t get Premier Edition on 84,000 miles for 3500 from what I can see so I just hope they play ball.
Pretty annoyed as i’ll won’t get the money I could of for it. It was up for £3500 and i’d be lying if I said I had less than 40 messages in the space of two days for it.
Was up for sale. No viewing but one potential (seemed genuine) buyer had my postcode. Nicked without the keys, i think it got picked up onto a low loader if i’m honest.
So the car got nicked a week ago sunday, not heard a thing since. When I initially phoned the police their response was, ‘if it turns up we will let you know’. So yeah, i guess it’s goodbye lol.
We parked in a random field and trekked for an hour and 30. No idea the stage but we were pretty close to the action. Can’t upload images to the forum from my iPhone for some reason.
Yeah there are no toys on it, but overall it feels much more like a ‘car’ than a 1*2 does. Not a single squeek or rattle from the interior which is amazing for its age really.
Gearbox really is a gem though. Steering hasn’t bothered me either as such although i’m yet to really drive it at 10...
I agree. It doesn’t feel all that fast to me tbh, although it does feel like it gets into abit of its stride in 3rd, by which time your doing 80 so is abit pointless. Granted i knew of the lack of torque, but its really difficult to drive quickly unless your on an empty b road.
Evening. After moving into my house a few months ago and after sharing a car with the fiance for 15 months, I got on the hunt for a weekend car/2 mile round trip commute car. Didn’t want to spend much with an upcoming wedding blah blah blah.
Ended up settling on an ep3 for various reasons...
The only reason i've not gone sim only on my 6s is the other halfs s7 is destroyed, and she's ont about 6 months into her contract so she's having this.
