What do you think of this Ford Fiesta?
I've found a 2002 Ford Fiesta with 87,000 kilometres on the clock. It's a 1.2-litre engine, timing belt done, looks and drives great, it's from a garage and well looked after. It has a Donegal registration, but came from Scotland at some stage. The car will be used as a second car to do light driving. I would be grateful for your expert opinion.
Thank you

What's the 2008 Kia Sorento like?
I am interested in a 2008 Kia Sorento. I have been told by a mechanic he would never buy a Kia or Hyundai as they are substandard and Japanese cars are way better. We are aware it has a big engine (which we don't need to be honest), but we can't find a car we both like for approximately €10k and this seems to be the compromise position. Have you a view on the Kia Sorento, as all my online research has made me quite positive about it, but the mechanic I was speaking to is worrying me? We are down to one car so prompt response appreciated.
