choosing used car

I'm thinking of buying a MINI Clubman Cooper Diesel with about 83,000 miles on the clock. Am I crazy?!! Is there anything I should be alert to or questions I should ask? The only obvious problem is a sort of blistering on the alloys. Would this indicate any misuse? Also is there an issue with timing belt/chain? It's a UK import. Thank you

Hi. I'm looking at buying a 2008 Chevrolet Captiva 2.4 LS. Just looking for your opinion on this SUV. Are they an ok car or should I stay away? Thanks!

What do you think of the Hyundai i30? Am hoping to buy a 2008/2009 model - are there any specific problems with this model/year thatI should look out for?

Hi, should I buy a 2010 Honda Jazz 1.4 petrol or a 2010 Toyota Auris 1.33 petrol with stop-start? Another question is: does the Auris with stop-start system cause more problems than Jazz and what car parts are more expensive?

Hi, I need a replacement car for my ageing Toyota Corolla. I'm six-foot-four and need room front and back for passengers. I travel three hours a day to work and need comfort and reliability. I like the 2011/12 Volkswagen Passat or Skoda Superb, but which is best? Has the Superb electrical issues?

Thanks

Thinking of buying a 2006 Saab 9-3 1.9 diesel. Good car or not?

Toyota RAV4 vs. Honda HR-V vs. Honda CR-V: which is the better and most economical cruiser?

Is the Honda CR-V 2008 model with 2.2 diesel engine four-wheel drive?

2008 Suzuki Swift: any known problems or issues?

Thanks

I am going buying a 2010/2011 Toyota Land Cruiser. Is there anything I should look out for in particular? What is your opinion regarding long/short wheelbase? Would automatic or manual be a better buy? I would not be doing a lot of trailer pulling?

Thanks
