What is the difference between the VW Passat Comfortline/Trendline etc? The one that I am currently considering is a Volkswagen Passat 1.6 FSI four-door B6 115hp. Also are Audi/BMW generally expensive to service and maintain in comparison to a VW?

Hi, could you advise me? I am looking for a economical automatic car that is comfortable for long driving.

Thanks

How much should I expect for my 2003 Daewoo Kalos? It as 72,000 miles on the clock. Would be doing trade in.

Hello,

I am looking at buying a used car at the moment. Trying to decide between an Audi A5 and BMW 3 Series Coupe. The 2.0-litre diesels look like the sensible option. I would like low mileage, but don't want anything newer than 2008 really. I would get M Sport if I end up going for BMW, but S line not so important for the A5. Max budget is €25k.

I'm interested in your general opinion of both cars. Would you have a preference? Is there anything in particular that I need to watch out for? Better engine options keeping in mind the tax, resale etc? I only do about 10k miles per year...

Thanks in advance, John

Which is the best used diesel car to buy within a reasonable budget?

I own a 2009 Volvo V70 flexifuel. We love the car. We have two children and it is perfect for us. It is roomy, reliable and safe. We plan to buy a caravan so it will be suitable for towing. The only downsides are it costs €1,200 per year to tax, it is relatively heavy on fuel, it has a low service interval (10,000km) and the timing belt is due.

Should we cut our losses and trade it in for a diesel? We previously owned a diesel Mazda5 that gave us a lot of problems with the DPF, thus our aversion to diesel. We will be doing small mileage with long runs during the summer holidays (maybe towing a caravan). Am I being irrational in avoiding diesels because of the DPF issue? Currently I am spending €100 a month on road tax so I would be prepared to spend €200 a month on a vehicle if I was to change.

Your advice would be appreciated

2015 Ford Mondeo 2.0-litre 150 Titianium, registered in Feb 2015, now 98,000k miles on the clock and emissions rating of 115g/km: how much is VRT importing it from the UK?

Thanks

I have asked my Toyota dealer if I can order the leather seats for my 2018  C-HR 1.2 Luna Sports and he said it doesn't come with them, ut another garage said yes I can order them no problem, for €1,000. Can l or can't I?

I'm trying to source an 2008 Audi A3 five-door diesel and having real difficulty. A lot seem to be imported from the UK.

Any advice?

For €13,000, what car can I buy?
