At risk of being lynched I'd suggest something Japanese. My son's 1.33 Yaris was bought with about 60K on her. She's now over 110K with absolutely nothing changed/replaced etc, except routine servicing & tyres. Cheap tax and good mpg. Another one in the family was similarly reliable. Maybe worth...

As far as I can find out the RCD300 does not support either USB input or 320kbps format. :( So, my question is where to next? I do not need S...

PS. Anyone any suggestions for the best "Haynes" type manual?
