D. Don't know where you live but there is yellow warning out for gale force winds in Northern England tomorrow. Next week perhaps? TT

Just a couple of points guys. Obviously how you use the car will have most effect on mpg but the mpg will always be higher in summer. Also I garage my car each night and this beats keeping it on a frosty drive or street (I live in frozen North East England!) so where you live has an effect. I measur...

Thanks to W and Andy - just the sort of informed experience I was looking for - very grateful.

Now the hard part, I have to discuss with my wife who gets very bored with car talk...........zzzzzzzzzz.

Thanks to B above. Good to know you both are happy so thats a boost for us too. Also the same will be the gearbox we opt for; we've only driven auto BMWs for the last 6 years and find it much the best for overall use. I don't think my projected T5 Inscription has a glass roof but no matter - it does...

Thanks to S. Of course we will but if there's a couple out there with similar problems now overcome, I'd be grateful for the full SP.

My wife and I have a terrible dilemma in common with , I'm sure, a number of others. She is 5ft 1 and I'm 6 ft.

I've costed up the BMW X2 M35i and the Audi SQ2. To get the spec of a T5 Inscription (OK a bit down on their bhp), you are paying around £45,000 bef...

I would loved to be able to get the XC60, but emissions meant there were very few SUVs I could by. The D3 FWD Manual is the only that comes under the obligatory 130g/km rule we have. I also need good lumbar supports after thrice being rear ended by other drivers. That leaves me with this and the Ev...
