I know engines and chassis are the same. However, I think I prefere the seeming beetroot badge of the Toyota as resale values should hold stronger. The slightly better sound system and interior finish in the Toyot appeals to me too. I believe that the marginal better turn in of the Subura not that big of a thing and appartley the GT 86 over steers a tad sooner. Guess I answered my own question. What do you think?

Which do you prefer and why? For me in cars a turbo for good torque and lighter engine. In bikes normally aspirated for throttle better and best response. What do you think?

Where and why? Thanks

Or is the economy recovering fine regardless of want we are told by polities?

If so does the tester perform the test or does the owner do the brake test with guidance from the tester. This method has been introduced locally and there is concern about H&S and what would happen if the bike falls on the owner or the bike is dropped and damaged. Can you say what happens in your area and comment please. Thnaks

I want to film from on-board of road and off-road motor-bikes Which model would suit best? Thanks.

My Endowment Policy taken out in 1988 ended recently but there was a quite a shortfall of a a few thousand pounds against the original borrowed capital. I wrote to he mortgage shop that sold me the policy back in 2006 but they wrote back basically saying that they were not liable. How do I go about following up getting the compensation that ia available for mis-sold policies to help cover my shortfall. Many thanks in advance for help, please. Cheers.

I am thinking of buying a 2008 VW Golf R32 DSG are there any major issues that I should be aware of when looking at and or driving one. I know that the DSG gear box means more expensive servicing. Thanks in advance for help!

Ok a turbo engine of the same power will be smaller and lighter that a normally aspirated engine with the same power. So is turbo always better in all ways?

Who is the better actor?

Or is Robert De Niro's acting performance as good as or better than Al Pacino's in Heat. I am not talking about the merits of their characters in the film, just who do you think and believe gave the best acting performance? I.e. Who was better that who? Or were they equal? All comments welcome, please. Thanks!

Did you think the victim Casey's fight back was a) measured and b) spot on? How much bravery do you think the victim have to find after year of being bullied? Do you think the victim Casey got his fight back spot on?

Is there too much expectation, to really enjoy the day? Depends on the person i reckon, but costs seem over inflated once wedding is mentioned. What are your thoughts?

Do you think that a 06 Fox-eyed Subaru Impreza Sportwagen Estate and a nice 3K dirt bike would be more fun and better that buying a Mark 5 Volkswagen Golf 3.2 R32 4-Motion? Note the R32 would be around another £3000 on top of the WRX and bike. Have i answered my own question ;-) ? Which would you go for? Thank you...

Ok. I do know they are two completely different types of car, as the Audi is a AWD 4.2 V8 Estate 02-05 and the Mazda is a FWD 2.3T Hot Hatchback 06-09, but they in the same kind of £6500 to £10500 price bracket.

The extra practicality and 4 wheel drive system of the big Avant may be good very occasionally, but the extra running costs during my other normal motoring trips may be quite a disadvantage.

I guess that I am in a good buying position to buy something good at the moment.

What would you buy and what do you think ?

Thanks.

My (car dependant) budget is anything from £6000 up to £11000 for the right car. I guess the question is long long is a piece of sting. But any insights on eBay buying would be appreciated. Thanks.

Should I buy an Alfa-Romeo GT or 147 GTA with the normally aspirated 3.2 litre V6 engine or the Mazda 3 MPS with the Turbo charged 2.3 litre 4 cylinder engine? I test drove a 2007 Toyota Corolla 1.8 TSport TTE Compressor, recently, it was good but the car was a bit on the small side and I would like more torque. I think the answer is going to be Japanese. Which or what car would you buy?

For example:

a) are Volvos' boring?

b) are 100% waterproof welly boots exciting?

c) Am I bored?

d) Are you bored?

e) does sex releif boredom?

f) OMG, where is this going, lol?

Ok, I know the (05-08) hawk-eye Subaru's are 200cc more and are full 4wheel / All-Wheel-Drive. However, i like the more subtle looks and fresher look and rarity of the 06-09 Mazda 3 MPS. On power figures (which are not everything) the Mazda is more powerful. Which would you buy with a £6000 to £9000 budget? Or what would you consider and please don't say GTI Golf (too common for me).

Thanks in advance...

and why does it raise you?
