Would an automatic Hyundai Sante Fe suit my needs?
I'm thinking of buying a 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe (100,000 miles). Is this a good buy? I have two teens and a toddler so want the option of seven seats. Is four-wheel drive more expensive to run than two-wheel drive? Also, any advantage in getting an automatic?
Thanks, Andrea

Would I be mental to buy the last of the Saab 9-5s?
I love the shape and image of the Saab 9-5 and the fact that they can be picked up for a song in the UK. Apart from the fact that they are now defunct and the resale value is thusly affected, are there any disadvantages to buying one?

What small car would suit my 20,000km annual mileage?
Hi, I am looking to move out from a town, which would mean commuting of about 15,000 to 20,000km per year. Should I be looking for small diesel or petrol in order to keep costs as low as possible? Ideally about 1.4 or 1.6 engine size...
Thanks

Mazda6 or BMW 320d?
Mazda6 2.2D or BMW 320d? Which of the two will be better as a fun-to-drive second hand 2010/2011 hatchback/saloon? The Mazda6 is cheaper to buy but would it be also cheaper to maintain and be more reliable? Would the BMW keep a higher residual value? Anything I should look out when going for a test drive?
