Hi, I have a 2002 Volkswagen Polo Comfortline 1.2-litre. I bought it a few weeks ago and I have taken it for short journeys about two or three miles. It got its NCT five days before purchase, but I noticed the needle on the petrol gauge going down slowly, but on a two or three mile journey I didn't expect it to move at all? This is my first car so I'm panicking.

Thank you!

Hi, I bought a 2005 BMW 1 Series from a dealer and have had to return to garage six times with a series of problems. They are prepared to look at a swap with/without money and are offering a 2008 Volkswagen Polo, a 2008 Honda Civic (plus €2,000) or a 2007 Ford Focus. I need a reliable car and don't have a lot to spend. Also would like to put a bike or two into the back. What car would you suggest?
