2014 Dacia Sandero or 2010 Toyota Yaris?
Which car would be more reliable/efficient: 2014 Dacia Sandero 1.2 or 2010 Toyota Yaris 1.0? Both come with one-year warranty at the same price.

Any pointers on the Nissan Tiida?
My budget for a car is €6k approx and the Nissan Tiida (2008 or 2009) 1.6 four-door manual petrol seems good value for money. I would do low mileage per year, mostly city/urban driving.
Any pointers?

Does this 141 Audi A3 Saloon sound ok?
I am seeing a 141 (2014 Apr) Audi A3 Saloon 2.0 TDI 150hp, SE with Milano leather, a good spec car overall and has done only 10,000km so far. The price being quoted is €25,000. I am actually worried because the price quoted is low for its value. What could the seller be hiding? Any suggestions to help not to get cheated? Seller is a dealer (not SIMI) and has no problems me getting a Audi showroom health check.

Should I go for an old Saab 9-5 auto?

I'm thinking of taking a chance on a 2007 or 2008 Saab 9-5 automatic. Any advice appreciated: 2.0-litre petrol or 1.9-litre diesel?
Many thanks

I'd like a newer seven-seat people carrier.
Hi,
I have a 2002 3.3-litre petrol Chrysler Grand Voyager with 100k miles on the clock in great condition and never giving any trouble. But it costs €1,800 a year to tax and is not fuel efficient, though small mileage is done annually about town (Dublin). Am considering a newer seven-seater say 2008 with lower tax and better fuel consumption, but that brings possible depreciation costs. Maybe a smaller seven-seater.
Would welcome advice

With €10,000 I need room for my bike, please!
Upgrading from a 2001 Nissan Almera 1.5-litre petrol. I cycle to work so only drive at weekends so thinking I should probably stick to petrol. I'd like to come up to a 2010 model with a maximum budget of €10,000. Maybe a hatchback to fit my bike; what do you recommend?
