Hi,

What are your views on the lack of transparency of dealers' delivery and related charges that get added to the brochure price of cars? Surely it is in the consumer's best interest to know the actual price of a car up front?

I need a medium/small automatic car with high seats, with air conditioning, mirrors that turn in when parking. What do you recommend?

Which seven-seater is safest?

Which car is the best secondhand buy: SEAT Leon, Skoda Octavia or Volkswagen Golf? I just changed jobs and need a new car. I'll be doing 25-30,000km a year so I'm only really looking at diesels in the 2005-2008 bracket. Which of the cars is best value for money in fuel efficency, cheapest repairs, car longevity etc. Any tips on what I should look out for when buying or any other cars you would suggest?

I have a 2003 Nissan Micra 1.2 and I am forever putting coolant in it. The person I bought it off said it was the radiator and replaced it but, I have since taken it to another person for them to tell me it's the head gasket and will cost me the price of a new engine if that is the case. I have no water oil mixing just the temp light coming on so I add coolant.

Any help appreciated

Does Kia Optima 2012 onwards have timing belts or chains?

Tyre rating for 2010 Honda Accord - 225/50 R17 - 94W or 94Y?

I'm thinking of buying a 2007 Saab 9-3 Linear Sport, 1.9 diesel. It's in good condition and seems to be a very good price, but I'm told parts for Saabs are becoming ridiculously expensive and that's why you can purchase them so cheaply. Can you shed any light on this?

Thinking of buying an Opel Insignia... How would you rate them? Anything I need to look out for?

Hi, looks like my 2002 Renault Laguna has called it a day... engine blown. It was a great car while it lasted. My question is what value has it now with a blown engine?
