Hi guys,

Which one of these family cars is better? Ford C-Max 1.6/1.8 or Toyota Corolla Verso?

How much is my SEAT Ibiza worth, or what should I expect on a trade in? It's a 1.4 Sport model with 108,000 kilometres on the clock, a new timing belt and water pump.

Thank you

Is the 2008 Kia Sportage a good buy?

Hi, I have a 2002 Peugeot 206 CC, which I love but need a slightly bigger car. I am looking at a 2006 Peugeot 207 CC at €4,000 with low mileage (22,000 kilometres). Is this a good car to change to? Alternatively a small SUV would be good, but my max budget is €4,000. What do you think?

Many thanks!

The Chevrolet Cruze Diesel now has a 1.7-litre engine: is this the same as used in the Opel Astra?

How reliable is the Hyundai Tucson?

Honda Jazz or a Skoda Fabia, which is the better car?

How economical is a Golf 1.9 diesel? What miles to the gallon does it give? I'm looking at a 2005 diesel. Should I stick with a 1.4 petrol car?

Thanks,

I have a Volkswagen Golf bought in 2002. Can you advise me re a new car, similar 1.4 petrol engine, but with elevated seating position? I looked at the Hyundai ix20 but it may not have same power as my Golf. Thanks,

Hi, I have about €3,000 to spend on a starter car. Most of my driving would be on the weekends sight-seeing. Insurance would be a factor with the engine size. The 1.4 petrol Golf seems to the most reasonable with insurance.

Thanks
