Do you agree the new Mazda3 is a good replacement for my BMW?
I am changing car; I have a BMW 318 at present but the new one is quite pricey! I have test driven the BMW 1 Series, an Audi A3, Volkswagen Golf Highline and a Mazda3. Whilst they are all fine cars I found the Mazda very good value and an excellent drive. Can you comnent?

Would I be mental to buy the last of the Saab 9-5s?
I love the shape and image of the Saab 9-5 and the fact that they can be picked up for a song in the UK. Apart from the fact that they are now defunct and the resale value is thusly affected, are there any disadvantages to buying one?
