Mazda6 2.2D or BMW 320d? Which of the two will be better as a fun-to-drive second hand 2010/2011 hatchback/saloon? The Mazda6 is cheaper to buy but would it be also cheaper to maintain and be more reliable? Would the BMW keep a higher residual value? Anything I should look out when going for a test drive?

What should I look out for when buying a 2009 Opel Insignia?

Hi. I have a 2008 BMW 520d Business Edition with a leather interior and 75,000 miles on the clock in immaculate condition. I am looking at maybe trading it in for one-year old 320d saloon with similar specs for around €21,000 or €22,000. How much do you think that I could get as a trade-in?

Thanks very much for replying to those at the mercy of unscrupulous car sellers. As a rule how do we know how much a trade-in is worth?

What is the downside to buying a fleet car? I have looked at a 2010 Nissan Micra for sale at €5,590 - seems to be a good deal.
