What is your opinion of the Renault Dacia?

I'm looking at a 2006 Fiat Punto with 110,000 miles on the clock. It has a small ding in the rear door and I'm told needs a new top mounting shocks on the left hand side. He will do the timing belt for me if I agree to buy, it's been regularly serviced. It's €1,900. Does this seem like a good buy or should I steer clear?

Is the Hyundai i10 reliable?

Volkswagen Golf or Ford Focus?

Hi, I'm wondering about the 2013 Ford Focus diesel 1.6 TDCi. How reliable are they? I never had a diesel before and would prefer petrol but none available to me at the moment.

2007 Volvo S60 with 140,000 miles on the clock: how many more good miles has it on it?

What should I look out for in a 2003 Jaguar XJ6? Mileage 122k. Excellent condition, one owner from new.

Hi there.

What your opinion of the Opel Insignia? What kind of common weaknesses does it have? And what parts need to be changed regularly? For example I have B5 Volkswagen Passat. From my experience I can say that suspension (independent) is not good for Irish roads therefore it's a weakness of this car. But engine is good - never had troubles (200,000 miles).

Thanks in advance

Living in a rural area with bad roads, which car would be most suited for lady driver: Ford Focus diesel (131 plate) or 2012 Honda Civic petrol?

I am looking at upgrading my car to a one or two-year-old Volkswagen Golf 1.6 TDI Highline or a Skoda Octavia 1.6 TDI Elegance. There is as you know a price difference, but which would be the better buy? Should I look at something else?
