I'm surprised they sold this many to be honest, not mention 84 suckers who parted with a large sum of money to buy a Civic.

A friend bought a Patrol Ti V8, it is nice. I think if it had black badges and exterior trim it would be spot on. I’m surprised Nissan aren’t selling more, but there is a fair bit of competition in that segment. |

Another good month for Ford. Its great that overall Ranger beat Hilux, but even better that in the 4x4 segment, nearly 900 more Rangers where sold than Hilux... Pretty good stuff...
As for Toyota as a whole, I don't think they have any reason to worry, they are still 6500 better than 2nd position which is crazy.. For the "whitegoods" of the vehicle segment.

Tell you what though, when we bought our Escape, the salesman was not doing a real good job to sell us the Endura we were also looking at, to the point he said the name "poor as it sounds like a condom brand"... That is hardly the type of sales man they need...perhaps they need to improve at the dealers... Lucky the Escape was the best deal being an demo...may have ended up with a x-trail that made our short list...

Every time I've bought a car, be it for my employer or myself I've known what I wanted before I even stepped foot into the dealership. Why can't I pay for it online then it turns up in my driveway? I've never met the spare parts blokes from my local Ford dealership but they've been dropping off parts to me for the last 8 years, why can't they do the same with a new car? |

I use to own a Qashqai in Ti spec with a six speed manual,just a great car,could have done with a bit more power, but never ever gave one ounce of trouble,did a few big trips out to Broken hill & Hervey Bay.Could easily cruise on 140 comfortably,very good tourer.Wish I still had it,& would not hesitate to purchase another one if I was in the market.(which I won’t be for a very long time.) I would happily have a joke er Juke as a 2nd vehicle.Great little 3 pot turbo engine.

But sadly neither car has a manual box which would make them both a much better drivers car. One thing on three cyl engines - there is no nil engine braking you have to take care on steep downgrades |

Puma has the 3cyl Ecoboost Tubo engine(same as my Fiesta ‘S’. )They do come in a manual in the UK, but alas not here.At least Ford saw sense to get rid of the ‘wet belt’ & go to chain instead.Nothing but trouble with those wet belts. Mine seems fine @ 94,000kms. Frequent oil changes is a must with these little engines.

Could the rise in Ranger 4x2 sales be on the back of its 5 star crash rating compared to its rivals?

Honda(what they say anyway) are going for the ‘premium’ end of the market,crazy really.There cars are very well put together & quality is top notch as they are all coming out of Japan, except CRV which is due to start coming out of Japan late this year with the new Hybrid model.All future Honda models will be Hybrid & EV(down the track).The majority of Civics would have been Hybrid anyway.Overpriced? Quite possibly, but it is what it is.Nothing is ‘cheap’ anymore.Majority of manufacturers are increasing their prices quite frequently, so Honda’s pricing is not looking that bad.They have always said right from the very outset, they are chasing profit over volume which to me seems unsustainable.But,what would I know!
