reliability

Is the 2011 Renault Mégane estate 1.5 dCi a reliable car?

Hello - can you tell me how Toyota can claim to make the 'best built cars in the world'? It is not making this claim in the UK, only in Ireland. Even Carlsberg isclever enough to say it is 'probably' the best. There have been a number of Toyotas in our household and they were as troublesome and any other comparable model.

Many thanks

I need a second hand seven seater. Have seen a 2005 Renault Grand Espace automatic petrol, 95k miles, leather priced at €3,850. Fallen in love with a 2004 Land Rover Discovery 2.5-litre, auto, diesel, leather, 150k miles too. Price €5,250. Would I be crazy to go for Land Rover? Difference in tax isn't too big. Two trustworthy mechanics told me Renault give expensive problems but didn't ask about Land Rover!

I'm thinking of buying a 2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0-litre diesel with 69,000 miles on the clock. I need to know are they good engines and troublefree?

Thanks, Noel

Is the 2007 MINI Clubman Cooper a good purchase and what would I have to look out for?

Is the 2008 Peugeot 1.6 Solaire diesel reliable?

I am interested in a SsangYong Actyon 2.0-litre. I am told that it is a chain drive engine; is it reliable?

Is the Rover 75 a car to be avoided? Looking at a 2005 1.8 with 117,000 miles on the clock. Is the head gasket failure a big issue on all 1.8 Rover engines?

What should I look out for when buying a 2009 Opel Insignia?

Any known issues with the 2008/9 Renault Mégane range?
