Swapping my Passat for an Insignia - thoughts?
Hi what would I get for a Volkswagen Passat 2.0-litre FSI Comfortline with 109,000 kilometres on the clock in excellent condition and with a full service history - against an Opel insignia 2011/12 (is it a good car?). Any advice greatly appreciated.

Which compact SUV would suit my needs?
Can you recommend an affordable two- to three-year old SUV/4x4 that has relatively low road tax, is fuel efficient and would have cruse control also?
Thanks Sinead (Limerick)

What used SUV should I get for up to €8,000?
Hi, I have €7,000 to €8,000 budget to buy a used SUV. I only drive 3,000 miles per year and I have been told by friends to go for the Toyota RAV4 or Suzuki Grand Vitara. What do you suggest? It will not be used for work or off road etc.
Many thanks, William.

Ford Focus or SEAT Leon diesel?
Hi there. I'm trading in a 1.6 petrol 2006 Mazda3 for a small diesel hatchback to commute in. Looking at a 2010 Ford Focus with 41,000 miles for €7,750 or a 2010 SEAT Leon with 47,000 miles for €7,950, both 1.6 diesel. I prefer the Ford's stats and Leon's looks - any advice?!

I need a high-up car to get comfortable.
Hi, I was wondering which is the best second hand car for me. I would like a high off-the-road car because I have back problems. I have between five and six thousand to spend.

What newer car should I replace my Mazda3 with?
I currently have a 2005 Mazda3 saloon 1.6 petrol. Would like to get a new car to upgrade to at least 2008 and still stay with a saloon type. What would you recommend? I'm sick of paying crazy tax for the 1.6 petrol. Thanks
