Thinking of buying an 04 Volkswagen Polo automatic. Is this a reliable car and is there anything to be aware of relating to the automatic gearbox?

I'm currently driving a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0-litre 2WD... It's a lovely car and has great spec for its time - leather upholstery, a/c, cruise control, etc, but on the downside is poor on fuel consumption and motor tax. I drive about 20,000km per year - manily Dublin with about 10 trips to Mayo each year.

What would you recommend replacing it with?

I have a Peugeot 407 1.8 petrol with 133,000 on the clock and I'm looking at Mazda3, Volkswagen Golf, SEAT Leon, Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, or sticking with Peugeot 308 new. Any recommendations on trade-in of 407 and choice?

Thank you

I am going buying a 2010/2011 Toyota Land Cruiser. Is there anything I should look out for in particular? What is your opinion regarding long/short wheelbase? Would automatic or manual be a better buy? I would not be doing a lot of trailer pulling?

Thanks
