    New Mazda 2

    You can’t really compare those results when the tests used very different criteria. The Mazda 2 was tested in 2021, when Global NCAP was still based on the much older Latin NCAP 2013 protocol. Scoring four stars under that standard probably isn’t particularly impressive.

    Suzuki Swift 2025

    A three star Euro NCAP rating isn't bad, but it hasn't been tested by Euro NCAP. The Japanese version is sold in countries with higher safety standards. The closest test result is probably the Dzire sedan that scored 5 stars in Global NCAP, but it probably wouldn't achieve more than 2 stars...

    I don't think it works via the Asap app anymore (it did when they first became an eBucks partner), but it does work in store. I normally do it at PnP Clothing without purchasing anything else.

    I'm sure they'd need to approve/accept. The exact requirement is stated pretty clearly on the eBucks website, but it's currently down.

    2018 VW Polo Vivo Repair bill

    Are all of those items actually needed though? It seems a bit unusual for so many things to needed at once, unless it was never really maintained.
