If you had up to €10k to spend on a hatchback with low running costs (small diesel ideally) with enough room for a couple of bikes in the back, what would you spend your money on?

How much is my Toyota Corolla Luna worth?

How much is my 2006 Toyota Corolla 1.4 Luna worth? Alloy wheels, 89,000km, one lady owner, NCT 3/16. Recently serviced. New battery. Maintained and serviced all along by Toyota garage. Thinking of downsizing as I just retired and will be doing very little mileage from now on.

Ford Mondeo or Volkswagen Passat for an auto diesel?

Hi,

I'm currently looking to purchase either a Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi Powershift or a Volkswagen Passat 1.9 TDI DSG. Looking at year ranges from 2007-10. Can you please advise on both cars in terms of smoothness of gear change and fuel economy? Also, If I do purchase a 2008 or above model can you tell me the road tax based on emissions for both cars?

Thanks

Should I go for 1.6- or 1.9-litre TDI Audi A3?

Hi,

I'm looking to buy an Audi A3 diesel, changing from a 2003 petrol Toyota Corolla. I would like to go up perhaps five to six years. There seems to be a lot more 1.9 TDI engines around than 1.6, which was what I had thought I would go for. Would you be able to tell me if there is much difference in mpg between them? I would do a good bit of driving per week and I want something that's more fuel efficient.
