choosing used car

Which one to go for? A 2006 Audi A3 2.0 TDI or 2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCi,both of which cost €6,000.

What is the general consensus on the 2005 Chevrolet Nubira 1.6 automatic?

I have a budget of €10,000 to get a car. I was thinking BMW 318/320, Honda Accord, Volvo S40 2.0 07/08 etc. What would be your preference and should I go petrol/diesel with less than 8,000 miles annually?

Which secondhand SUV should I go for? I'm getting more confused as my search goes on. I had my heart set on a Toyota RAV4. But now I realise I should widen my search. Which would you recommend, assuming similar miles and age (2007/08): Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Suzuki Grand Vitara or another (all between 35-50k miles)?. The cabin and feel of the RAV and Vitara seem very similar, but the later is €2/3k cheaper for 07/08 models, why?

Many thanks, Sharon

Which would you go for: an old Toyota RAV4 with lower mileage or a younger model with higher mileage (2007 with 26k for €10k or 2008 with 44k for €10,800). Also, auto or manual? Lastly, do they suffer from clutch issues? Test drove a 2008 version today and clutch was heavy.

2013 BMW 320d M Sport, Audi A5 Sportback S ine or Mercedes-Benz C-Class AMG Sport? Want something that's well built. Am hearing differing stories about the quality of the BMW, DPF issues on the Audi 2.0 TDI, the Mercedes more expensive that either.

I just crashed my 1.9 Octavia. I travel about 20,000 kilometres a year. I was thinking of getting a 07/08 Hyundai Tucson 4WD but am concerned about the difference in fuel economy. I live rurally (the Skoda slipped on mud) and on a steep hill. I also travel to scenic locations as I take landscape photos. I've read conflicting reports with regard to the economy. I've a loan of a 2007 Fiesta 1.25 and have put €70 into it in the last five days to do about 300 miles. Is the Tucson a realistic choice?

What would be the most suitable fuel-efficient car (diesel) to do circa 1,800km per month (five-door preferably with space for a buggy in the boot)? I have a budget of about €7,000.

Any issues with buying a 2007 BMW 316i ES with a reconditioned engine?

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.
