What fun car will I replace my Honda Civic with?
I have an 08 2.2 Honda Civic and want to change soon. Budget is €17/18k including trade-in value. Any ideas on what to get? Have seen 2010 Citroen DS3 with extras (nav, leather, etc.) for €17k. Like that it's not the norm e.g. Focus or Golf. Would it be a good buy?

What small car for €8,000 could replace my MINI?
Hi, I am driving an 08 MINI Cooper 1.6D that is a work lease car. I want to buy a small car for less than €8,000 - ideally a 1.1 or so that I don't feel the drop too much! I do very low mileage - 5,000km per year - but want something that could manage a motorway journey or two a year ok. What would you recommend? I have been looking at something 08 or newer: Hyundai i10, Toyota Yaris; old model Fiesta/Polo - any other ideas?

Ford Focus Estate or Renault Grand Mégane?
I need to replace my 2001 Ford Focus Estate and have a couple of options to choose from: an 09 Focus Estate (Style) 1.6 with 87,000 kilometres (UK import) or a 2010 Renault Grand Mégane (Royle) with 58,000 kilometres. Both are around the same price (Mégane is only €650 dearer). Which of these would be the most reliable and of better value?
