Honda went all out on this model, hence the fascination.... It's a more modern car, for cheaper money..... Not an everyday vehicle, probably would be used mostly for long Europe trips.........

The full tank of that car wont get you to Paris. It's too big for a saloon car

Of course you know hybrid vehicles on motorway driving are useless......

Just drive on motorways, like its a conventional engine... And your fuel tank and pocket, would be very happy......

My E-fam, I need advise biko. Our car is still having the transmission issues despite updating d software and whatnot and we have to fix it ourselves since we dont have extended warranty.

We have decided to sell it once all it's fixed and now trying to research on cars with reliable manufacturers.

It is between Peugeot 2008 or Renaultt captur but more inclined towards the Peugeot. Does anyone have experience with both make or any other suggestion on a car with much legroom than saloon or MPV cars and good capacity for load.

Thank you.

Ha! From Captur to Aygo grin

Aygo is for a single somebody that wants to just started driving in the UK. Not for someone that’s got a family and has been driving for a while.

Golf, Volvo and Mercedes are very reliable cars and have very low depreciation rates.

Nigerian women warned not to come to Britain in government campaign
‘Modern slavery is one of the greatest human rights abuses of our time,’ says Penny Mordaunt
The Independent
Catherine Wylie,Peter Stubley
15 hours ago

The UK government is backing an advertising campaign urging Nigerian women and girls to find jobs at home instead of “risking a life of modern slavery” in Britain.

Posters are to be placed in schools, churches and marketplaces in an attempt to reduce human trafficking, sexual exploitation and forced labour.

The campaign focuses on “aspirational stories of women who have established successful careers in Nigeria”, according to the Department for International Development.

The Not for Sale campaign is supported by UK aid and involves the National Crime Agency and the UK’s Joint Border Task Force as well as Nigerian law enforcement.
