• Looking for a cheap car? Try one of these

  • My only point is that, relatively speaking, if the majority of cars on the road switches to compact rather than SUV, people way well be safer. If my chances of being hit by a small car are higher than being hit by a freakin truck, I'll be happier.

  • But how much does it cost? If I'm not mistaken, and Lancer will set you back more than the compact cars on the list. And overall cost, not fuel efficiency, was the article's focus. Mitsubishi make great cars, but you do pay more for the quality.

  • If there are more and more smaller, fuel efficient cars on the road, I dare say people will be safer - they don't have to worry about the idiots in their under-utilised SUV plowing into them.

  • That is exactly my car in the picture - same colour, same number of doors, same year. I paid less that $15k for my Yaris, all included.

• ‘Ponyo’ is a charmer for kids and adults alike

  • Nooooo! They dubbed it?! With a Jo-Bro no less? I love Miyazaki's films, but still need to catch up on Howl's Moving Castle anyway. I guess I can wait for the Ponyo DVD.

• Tiger says he'd play in Olympics if golf added

• Muslim in 'burquini' barred from Paris pool

  Wed Aug 12, 2009
  • If the rules were prominently displayed, then she doesn't have much of a leg to stand on. If, however, she came to the pool complex, changed into the burquini, then she is well within the rules, and it would appear that management are reaching for straws.

• JetBlue offers 'all-you-can-fly' pass for $599

  Wed Aug 12, 2009
  • It would definitely be worth it for business travellers in any of the JetBlue hub cities... for the average person though, you would have to cram a lot of last minute travel into your month to get your money's worth.

  • My thoughts are with the families of the travellers...

• Blocked from checking in - and charged

  Tue Aug 11, 2009
  • Agreed that the traveller is entitled to a refund of the charges. I'm not sure what time they called, but even if it wasn't within cancellation policy time, hotels will usually be quite accommodating when it comes to things out of your control that stop you getting to your destination.
