Ask Us Anything

Hi, I am currently driving a 2000 Toyota Yaris that has only just hit the 100k mileage mark (mainly clocked up in last three years). Still has a bit of life left in it with a bit of work, but I have been looking to change. I've done some test drives and have my eye on a Peugeot 307 1.4 diesel circa 2011, as the Volkswagen Golf was a bit out of my price range (< €10k) and I travel quite a bit for work.

Circumstances have changed though and I no longer have such a long commute to work so wondering should I invest and hang on to the old 'lady' a while longer, go for a different model/make (2008-2010), which would reduce cost, or can you recommend/suggest anything that would give me value for money, that's reliable and economically sound?

Bit of a tall order maybe but any advice would be great.

Thanks in advance, N

Is €20,000 too much for a 2010 Ford Galaxy with 138,000km on the clock?

Can you tell me if the 2005 BMW 520 (E60) 2.2 petrol is a good car?

I'm thinking of buying a 2004 Mazda RX-8; what do you think?

I've been offered a 2009 Opel Astra saloon  with 18,000km on the clock for just €7,700. Should I be suspicious or get it checked by a mechanic?

What is the trade-in value for a 2010 Toyota Prius with 30,000 miles on the clock?

I'm thinking of buying a 2006 Peugeot 407. What do you reckon?

Just wondering about a 2012 Skoda Fabia 1.2 petrol. How reliable it is, whether it is economical on fuel. Any major faults showing up on it etc.

Thanks, Claire

Hi, I am looking to buy a Renault Scenic with around €3k of budget. Getting vehicles of mostly 2005 and 2006 with around 100k to 130k on the odometer for this price range. Please advise if I can go with it.

What's your opinion on the 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara diesel 1.9?
