choosing used car

Is the older model of the Toyota Avensis as reliable as the new one that came in 2003?

What is the best second-hand SUV with seven seats from between 2005 to 2007?

What car would you recomend for a 24-year old, price range €15,000 approx. I am considering Honda Accord, Lexus IS or something similar.

I am thinking of buying a 2004 Daewoo Lacetti 1.4. Anything in particular I should look out for in this type of vehicle?

I'm driving a 2012 MK6 Volkswagen Golf Edition R (1.2 TSI). While I like a lot of things about the car I am increasingly frustrated by the significant understeer, lack of steering feel in general and the poor seats. I am thinking of changing to a BMW 3 Series M Sport (318d or 320d) around the 2009 or 2010 mark, using this as a trade in. I do very low mileage but I don't mind spending a bit more. Am I mad? I have a bit of a mental block changing from a 12 reg downwards.

I am looking to trade in a 2008 Citroen C4 Coupé (three-door) for a more economical family car with at least four doors, low road tax and I have a tight budget. I need either a saloon or estate and have approx €6,000 to spend with my car - any recommendations?

What is the best MPV available for under €8,000? It can be either a five-seater (C-Max) or the full seven-seater. My priorities are reliability and fuel economy.

Thanks.

I am looking for an economical used car for under €7,000. I do about 15,000 miles per year with a 40km round trip daily commute in city traffic so fuel economy is important - I am thinking diesel. I have two kids under seven so need space for those (although I have considered a roof box for them - imagine the peace!!!). In seriousness though safety is a factor - boot space not so important. Don't want to go over a 1.6-litre; what should I be looking at? Please help...

What's the best car I could buy for €1,200? Around 1.4-litre.

Any common problems with Mitsubishi's 2005 Pajero Sport? I need it for trailer work.
