I do remember the engines in the cooper of the R56 generation (N12 I think it was), being a bit gutless. I was given a convertible one about 15 years ago as a courtesy car and with 4 passengers, performance was somewhat stunted..Either way, I'm still following with interest as you always have interesting RR threads! Thanks.It’s not particularly fast, but that’s fine. I’m not sure I’ll actually drive it much anyway because my wife has her eyes on it, so I’ll take one for the team and

Demonix said: £92k for an uber RS3, Audi can jog on when a shade under 53 large buys https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/21069186A bonafide junior supercar , no it's not a hot hatch but it's saved 40 grand that can be spent on fuel, tyres, maintenance, rfl and insurance or a speedy little used daily to do the commute or station run. Not one of the 11 people in the UK that buy this RS3 will be cross-shopping with 14-year old R8. Most will already have something (or things) exotic in their garage already and, if they wanted an old R8, they'd buy one. Comments like this totally miss the targ

Been an expensive week so far. Monday was monies and quotes concerning day one of buying a house, plus it peed down with rain all day. Yesterday was a lovely sunny day so in order to save money and take the little 4 month old Mazda for a spin, I decided to return my wrong prescription glasses to the factory in Amersham by hand. Oh how I now regret that Funny thing is I'm normally naughty in the 2 seater but I didn't go crazy on that bit of the M3 from Sunbury to the M25 junction. Enjoyed sitting at the limit and then the 60mph limits, followed by the 40mph limits. A mile from the turning west

Having decided that I wanted to SORN my Boxster for the winter, it was time to look for a cheapish third car that wouldn t take up too much space. I originally had my sights set on a Honda CR-Z because they re a bit weird and very cheap to run. In the summer there were loads on buffet but when I was finally ready to buy one, pickings were slim. Prices seem to have risen in line with high fuel costs.I went to look at a few; one had a rusty rear arch that had been touched in really badly. Another was quite expensive but rough, especially the interior. The passenger seat had a massive rip in it c

Terminator X said: Chinese PoS badged as a Lotus. The market has spoken.Indeed, the market has spoken - just not in the way you think. In 2025, Lotus Technology's total global deliveries of 6,520 units broke down into 4,204 lifestyle vehicles (ie BEVs and PHEVs) and 2,316 sports cars, representing a 64.5% to 35.5% split. In H1 2026, they recorded 3,904 total global deliveries (delivering 1,922 lifestyle SUVs/sedans against 891 sports cars, up 39% YoY), where lifestyle models made up roughly 77% of total volume. In other words, much as the Cayenne has done for Porsche, Lotus BEVs and PHEVs gen

TV8 said: The car has been locked in the garage for a few weeks as I recovered from some surgery and having to much time on my hands resulted in me buying a new exhaust system. It was fitted this week and overall sounds good but something isn't quite right and reading up tonight, hopefully, some adjustments will improve the situation!It certainly looks good!These "bypass" pipes (assuming they're not Helmholtz resonators) look like a Gundo hack type arrangement to increase noise levels.The whole system looks somewhat poorly conceived, overly complex in its Mk2 guise, and poorly executed, to th

DonkeyApple said: In addition the heat pump subsidy has a catastrophic flaw in that they only work in homes that are already sufficiently efficient so we are subsidising households that have zero need to be in receipt of benefits. The heat pump grant appears to be the only one that you can get if you're a homeowner and not on benefits or a pauper. So if you're not in one of those categories, you'll need to find a few quid to insulate your house before you will be given some towards a heat pump.

I've threatened to do this so here goes, I've got my anti-EV flame suit buttoned up and gone and leased a new Ford Explorer EV.It's an Extended Range Select rwd in Rapid Red and it arrived this morning.Any questions fire away. One little nugget though, it's on staggered wheels, 235 front and 255 rear. I don't know of any 'normal' car with that outside of say a 911 or the like.

Hi everyone,I’m interested in hearing what people here look for when choosing a car for everyday use. For me, a good all-rounder should be reliable, comfortable on longer journeys, reasonably economical, and enjoyable to drive. Running costs also matter, especially fuel consumption, insurance, servicing, and unexpected repairs.Some cars look great on paper but can become expensive to maintain as they get older. On the other hand, a well-maintained used car can offer excellent value and plenty of driving enjoyment without the cost of buying something brand new.I’d be interested to hear what car

I've been contemplating my next company car and with BIK regs changing I'll need to move from hybrid to ev. I'm in a 330e Tourer currently. I don't like SUV's so figured the only viable future option was the new i3 Tourer when it launches next year however I think this new Polestar could be a genuine alternative. There really isn't much else in the premium midsized ev estate space currently so this could sell like hotcakes..I wish it had more buttons and was a little lower but otherwise it looks like a great proposition

A very handsome car. I’ve played with the configurator and on the big wheels with the performance pack it’s more estate than SUV and all the better for it. With a set of coil overs it would look better still. Not cheap mind you but I’m considering it.

Whilst more and more of us charge in off peak and with people doing so for house batteries too, the whole low load argument will decay. The consumption of electricity will also go up significantly. The holiday is about to be over . The other argument is sharing out any low cost slots not just to people who have leased Chinese electric vehicles.

Well this project came about entirely by chance, a fleeting mention of an early S2 escort for sale on a whatsapp group, a need for a winter project and a deal was done! The car came from Mr Gallonspermile of this very parish who was its custodian for around 16 years. It was taken off the road a good 12 years or so ago where the shell was sorted, painted and undersealed and then has sat ever since.After we agreed a deal the next hurdle was getting it home to me, the car was in Dover and I'm near glasgow, a nice even 1000 mile round trip. I considered using shiply but I really wanted to get a go

Someone at work had the SUV version in a lovely verdant green colour, it looks fantastic.As a financial decision they probably are a bit of a risky one, but then I drive a Jag that lost someone 54 grand in 34,000 miles.
