What alternatives are there to the Ford S-Max? We want to trade ours in. We want a five-seater with the option of easily converting to a seven-seater when needed.

I'm 17 and bought a Toyota Corolla 1.3; around how much would insurance be on that does anyone have any idea?

What options are out there for diesel auto car or SUV under 2.0 litres, that will take two bum boosters and an Isofix car seat? Without going for an MPV!

2008 Lexus IS 220d Sport: tell me more.

How good was the 1970 Daimler Double-Six, and have they any really bad points to look out for?

Is it possible to get scrappage when buying a used car?

Do you know if the new model Volvo XC90 will be here in January or is it more likely mid-2015? Also any idea what price level it will be? I would expect it to be more expensive than the current model but will they try and pitch it at BMW X5/Audi Q7?

I'm driving a Audi A4 4 1.9 diesel and I will be trading in over the next few months. Mercedes-Benz has offered me best deal so far to buy a GLA 220 Urban model. I am also looking at 3 Series BMW Sport 318d, and the Range Rover Evoque and I looked at the Mazda CX5. I drove the Audi Q3 last year and I was very disappointed with the seats. Which of the above would you recommend? My heart would love the Evoque, but my head says it's not a German. I am a lady driver doing mostly motorway and around town driving. I would appreciate any opinion you may have.

What is my 2009 Ford Focus Ghia 1.8 diesel with 106,000km worth? Brand new injector set installed recently. Manages in the region of 50mpg even with aircon selected. In nice order.

Thank you.

Is the 2008 Ford Mondeo 1.6 petrol a very reliable car and at what mileage should the timing belt be changed?
