Nice Spec, beige leather interior - try and get the dark leather.
Really nice to drive and quite responsive, but I cannot get the seating
position right. Continue reading ...

Chrysler
Loads of gadgets including DVD screens in the rear, automatic door and
boot opening, Sat Nav with Hard Drive Entertainment System and iPod
control! Full leather on all 7 seats! Engine is alright but the
automatic gearbox seems to confuse itself. Was getting about 30mpg out
of it. The only reason I would buy this car is for the gadgets! Continue reading ...

This car looks fantastic front
and back, interior looks the same as the Standard Laguna and as
expected the rear seats are limited. But you don't buy one of these
cars for the limited space. Driving the car is fantastic, very quick
with fantastic response on accelleration. 4 wheel steering feels weird
but not scary! Renault have done a great job on this car Continue reading ...

I probably sound a bit one sided on this car as it I drove it the day
my Scirocco was delivered, but Renault have done a nice job of the
interior and all of the controls feel really good and actually better
than the New Laguna. The engine is great but still not as nice as the
Scirocco. But would definitely recommend it! Continue reading ...

I really enjoyed driving this
car, very comfortable and a pleasure to take anywhere. Not very thirsty
even for an automatic. Full leather interior with heated seats. Multi
Changer with MP3 reader and Bluetooth Phone. To keep the MPG up, you
can swith the car in to 2WD only mode. Continue reading ...

The car had loads of gadgets,
Full Colour Sat Nav, Bluetooth, Aux Input, Full Leather and a nice
engine mated to a 6 speed gearbox. But the ride was soft and spongey,
and even going round the slowest corners made you feel like you were
going to fall out. I took the Koleos to Wales over August '08 bank
holiday and even as a driver I felt travel sick. Cheap on Contract Hire
though. Continue reading ...

VW
Only had use of this vehicle since February 2009, but first impressions o this car is excellent. The car is set up almost perfectly. With buttons to adjust the suspension. The engine is nice and nippy, but also very drivable at slow speeds. I am already averaging 42mpg in the car! Will keep you updated on this car as time goes on. Continue reading ...

When we originally looked at replacing the Mini, we were going to Opt
for an Cooper S. But we looked at all of the details including Fuel
Costs, Road Tax, Insurance and Residual Value. Although the Standard
Cooper has a better residual to a Cooper D, with the price of Petrol
and Road Tax going th... Continue reading ...

Extras; DVD Sat Nav, 6-CD MP3 Compat. CD Changer, Pre-telephone Equipment, Metallic Paint. About;
This car is a great drive, and being my first Audi I am overly
impressed. The gearbox is fantastic and being Multitronic can adapt the
Gear Ratios to my driving. When in S mode, the car flies with smooth
and precise gear changes. Space in the car is always important and
with this car, it excels itself. I have plenty of room on both the back
seats and in the boot. The car's equipment is also importa... Continue reading ...

Sound Kit ABOUT; This is the most fun you can have out of a
little car, and with the Sound Kit the car sounded fantastic. Fuel
averaged about 42mpg, even the way Sam drove it. Definately recommend a
Mini to anyone! Continue reading ...

Alfa Romeo
My first Alfa, probably won't be my last, but very unreliable! This car
was such a nice drive... Everything about this car made you want to
drive, and put your toe down! Even though this was a diesel it still
had a very nice "Alfa" roar! and was extremely nippy. The car still
returned 40mpg. Now for the bad bits - First day I had it, it broke
down and almost had a fire - FAULTY WIRING LOOM. Key Lost its coding,
Fuel Cut off switch activated, car would unlock on its own, boot would
unlock on it... Continue reading ...

The Spec of this car was brilliant! Leather Seats, Climate Control, CD Player, Bluetooth. But driving it was another matter! The car was very clunky and so uncomfortable. Handling was fine, and very solid. I think this was down to the sports suspension, but would not recommend this car at all. Continue reading ...
