Thanks wachyracer, but if you mean the loudspeaker icon on the right, pressing that has no result. I've tried adjusting the volume to the highest but that doesn't work. I'll try with it programmed for a destination - perhaps DutCHR that will work. I'm travelling tomorrow and Sunday which is why I w...

I understand it perfectly well. It is just too wrong too often. If there is a road off to one side with a different (load) speed limit, the car sees the 'new' limit and shows that and starts beeping at you for going too fast, when you are actually adhering to the speed limit for the road you are on...

It isn’t perfect but I find I can almost always get an accurate figure from either this or the sat nav. Eg the satnav will not tell you the speed limit on the motorway is reduced to 50 for road works, but this will. Sometimes the road sign recognition will see a sign that does not apply (eg on a sli...

they just are built that way, i.e. rock solid suspension.

No they aren’t. Witness several other posters on this subject.

I dont have experience of tbe Corolla/Auris but I LOVE my CHR, so does that make me biased or experienced?! I say go for the CHR every time - provided you want a gentle comfortable ride mos...

Glad to hear of your excitement. I am sure you will enjoy it - EXCEPT that Carplay is not available. If you do a search you will find several topics on ten subject

Got my first long journey next weekend270 miles Manchester to West Devon. What sort of figures should i expect being 80% motorway?

The seat going down is a mall function.
I'm driving mine for 26 months now and since I found my perfect seating position, nothing had changed. I don't have to readjust my seat.

Me too.

Thanks for this interesting observations, and welcome to the forum.
I wonder if your tailgate might be faulty as I find it easy to lift and put down.
Never had buzzers passing roadside boxes (unless passing very close)

How could I have forgotten? The horn is absolutely abysmal, sounds like Noddy's car, if you can remember that far back? For a car of this expense it is unforgiveably pathetic. Call me old fashioned but, I would be happier with a spare as standard. The tyre deflated warning light comes on every time...
