Is the Skoda Octavia TSI a good option for me?
Finally time to change my 2004 1.8 TDCi Ford Focus Estate. With 233,000 miles done, I think it has earned its keep. But what to replace it with? I only do about 20,000km now a year so dont really need the diesel though the torque is good for overtaking. I do need a decent boot as I fill it most weekends. Budget max €13,000. Interested in Skoda Octavia 1.2 TSI in hatch or estate. Is this a reliable engine and does it have enough power for overtaking? Generally only me in car and occasional towing of 500kg trailer also done.

What are the pros and cons of the Audi A4 Avant?
Hi, I am thinking of buying a 2005 Audi A4 Avant 2.0-litre TDI. What are the pros and cons with these cars? It has 160k kilometres on the clock and a full service history.
Many thanks,
Aidan.

Kia Picanto or Hyundai i10?
I am looking at a 2009 Hyundai i10 and a 2010 Kia Picanto. The Hyundai has 8,000 less mileage than the Picanto but then the Picanto is a year younger. Mileage on both is low. There is two years' warranty left on the Picanto, which is a plus. Is there anything that I should be aware of in connection with these two cars?

Should I repair or replace my trusty Golf?
I have a 2007 Golf that needs replacement fuel injectors. Obviously that's expensive. Previously the car gave me no problems, however I'm wondering is this the start of issues. Is it time to replace or should I repair?

Any issues with nearly new Mazda6s?
Are you aware of any issues with the Mazda6? I am thinking of getting a Platinum model , but am a little worried as there are a good number for sale (six- to nine-month old cars being disposed of so soon). Are the salesmen holding something back?
Many thanks
