Is the Volvo S40 worth going for ahead of a BMW 320d?
I'm looking at a Volvo S40; basically just got permanent contract at work and want something to take me from my boy racer days to a more complete car with nice kit. It's the 2.0D version, and wanted to know what power the engine has. Secondly, is this a wise choice? I.e. in terms of a complete car has Volvo done at least a solid job on these? I don't want to go for a BMW 320d! Cheers guys!

I'm thinking of buying a seven-seat MPV.
Hello, I’m thinking of buying an MPV, possibly Citroen Grand Picasso or Renault Grand Scenic. I have max €10,000 plus 2004 Renault Mégane 1.6 petrol Dynamic with low mileage to trade in. I’m reluctant to buy another Renault as I had many electrical problems with the Mégane. Also, petrol or diesel? Any advice? Thanks and regards, Carol

Should I change to Fiat from Fords?
I only ever drove Fords and I saw a Fiat Punto that I like. How reliable are Fiats and how different are they to Fords?

Petrol or diesel for a seven-seat MPV?
I am buying a second hand seven-seater and wondering which is a better buy - petrol or diesel. It will mostly be used for city driving, probably less than 10,000 miles a year. I will only be spending €4,000 - €6,000 on a car. The choice seems to be a petrol car with low mileage or a diesel with high mileage.

Why is the Opel Cora more expensive than the Meriva?
Is the 2004-2005 Opel Meriva a good car? I find it strange that the smaller Oper Corsa (of same year/mileage) is more expensive in the classifieds.
