Can you find me an economical SUV for under €12,000?
Hi there, I have €10,000 to €12,000 to spend on a used car. I drive twice a week from Kerry to Dublin for work. I dont NEED an SUV but would really really like one. I need the normal two things in a car: reliability and economy. Is there any SUV out there that won't murder my pocket in diesel costs?
Many thanks

Do you think my Fiesta is returning poor economy?
I have a 2010 Ford Fiesta 1.25. It's a great car and fun to drive, but very uneconomical for a small car. Is this normal? I average 6.7 litres/100km (42.2mpg) by its own computer and manually checked to be similar.

What car will I replace my Volkswagen Scirocco with?
Having recently been a victim of a car theft (they took my Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0 TDI), I am in the market for a new car. I am completely confused as to what to buy though; fuel economy is a major factor in my decision - the Scirocco was quite economical when driven correctly. I have been looking at Honda, both Accord and Civic though I am worried about the 2.2-litre engine size. Style is also a major factor and I have also viewed a Volvo C30 R-Design and Ford Focus 'WRC'.
Have a love of stylish hatches but not opposed to a change! Please help.
The insurance company will only give me €15,000 so that's my budget for now. I do about 30,000 kilometres a year so need something pretty economical, though I am single so practicality is not really a consideration.

Am I liable for a car's expired tax if I buy it?
Are there problems with buying a car for which the road tax has expired more than three months ago? Are there problems if in the past there are periods where the car was not covered by road tax?
