Any pro/con to prefer home Tesla EV charger for non-Tesla car?
An unexpected car bill means we're looking to see if it's worth getting a newer car. Is there any expectation that prices become lower in the next year? I've not had to look for a car for over a decade, but used EVs/PHEVs are, perhaps, just within our price range given that we rarely do long journeys. I see numerous…

Would a high-mileage Honda Civic still be reliable enough?
We've been without a car for about two years now as we rarely used the car - about 2.5k miles a year, of which 1.5k were a single, long trip. However, we may need to buy one again and we're looking around. The key criteria are that it is cheap-ish (£10k at most - or thereabouts), (ideally) Japanese, automatic and, most…

Hello. On holiday this year, we stopped for fuel (Scotland). I'm the driver and my husband hopped out to put in the fuel and went to pay. He was ages.

Car Insurance comprison sites?
I have trust issues. MSE seems to have lost/buried all other car insurance comparison websites, except it's own ('Compare+' tool - and DirectLine). Years of indoctrination with MSE has taught me that when a site offers no choice except what it offers, then it's only looking out for itself. Where's the transparency? If I…
