I recently sold my KIA carnival as it wasn't getting its intended use.  And in exchange I decided to buy at the time a 2019 Mazda BT50 pro which I thought would be useful for the bike.  Used twice for that purpose and if I am honest I have the ride and I am not looking forward to the school run from Min Buri to near the main Airport. 

I am consideting a an S60 or V40 2013-2015.  Prices are in thw region of 400-600k  We already have a new CX-5 which the wife uses for work, and I have been through Honda and looking for something different 

 

Any feedback on reliability, feedback and part here hete useful.  Cars I have browsed typically have 80,000 to 100, 000km on the clock whichdn't be 

Suggest you do not buy a Volvo – new or s/hand

Have a friend in Pattaya who has now bought new 2 Volvos and has trouble with both- both have broken down

One important problem is he has to take them to Bangkok to fix anything more than an oil change, forget local Dealers!

Sexist !

And there is still a dullard without a mask !

At the moment I read the Guardian and The Bangkok Post online, albeit neither everyday. I used to subscribe to The Times, but stopped because their format made it almost unreadable on a tablet or smartphone, and because I was too often seized by an irrational compulsion to punch that simpering failed politician and journalist Mathew Paris whenever I reached their op-ed pages...

 

The Guardian (and the BP) are both free, and although I don't agree with much of it's politics ( The Guardian) the writing is good, the factual reporting accurate, and for the most part it's op-ed content is liberal enough to acknowledge opposing views. I think that I am grown up enough to form my own opinions, but I do like to be kept informed and read  perhaps opposing views; I bung it a few quid from time to time - I think it's stance on not going behind a pay wall is quite principled.

You should check The Times on an iPad now - very easy to read

I changed from The Telegraph to The Times (even though I prefer The Telegraph) when they changed their online format – The Times being far easier to read, even more so when read on an iPad

Well it even made the Beeb :  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-55391417

Hate to think what he would have done if he had to pay for a prescription at a Private Hospital

Now that photo has me all hot and sweaty

But they haven't bought a British performance brand name (MG) and stuck a Union Jack on the boot to sell a Chinese slug.. ????....Their slugs should be called "MORRIS", as all Morris Garages grocery getters were..........????

 

At least Chery have made an effort at performance with a 1500cc turbo, whereas, the MG ZS will get a 3 pot 1.0 Turbo "upgrade"....????

MG a performace brand 555
