What should I replace my Toyota Verso with?
What should I replace my Toyota Verso with? I have a 2006 model with 130,000 kilometres on the clock. I no longer need a seven-seater and I want a car that can be used for both commuting (50km a day) and family (two kids). My budget is €6k on top of my existing car. What is your recommendation?
Thanks in advance, Rao

Should I change my Skoda Octavia for better economy?
Hi, I've a 2010 Skoda Octavia RS 2.0-litre diesel and thinking of changing to a 2011/2012 1.6 diesel Octavia. Just wondering is there much difference in terms of mpg or would I just be better off keeping the RS? I do about 45,000km per year mostly on motorway so reason for thinking of changing are the high fuel costs.
