Should I go for this Mazda6 I've found?

Hi, I am looking at purchasing an 08 Mazda6 2.0 diesel. I did a history check and I can see it appears to have a full service record. It is originally a UK import. There is about 85,000 miles on the car. I am now deciding between a Mondeo, Volvo S40 and this Mazda6. I still have to find a Volvo in the same price range of the Mazda. Is it worth paying out on average €1,000 more for an S40 or is the Mazda6 just as reliable and considered a good purchase? Any particular known issues with this car?

Are 1.2-litre diesel engines economical?

Hi there,

What would be a typical mpg from a 2009 Polo 1.4 TDI if you're a steady and careful driver? What do you think about the 1.2 TDI engines? Are they too small to get good mpg? All the websites that deal with cars' mpg show 1.6 as being the most economical. Is this changing at all?

How can Toyota claim to make the 'best cars in the world'?

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
