Hi,

I have a budget of €6,000 and am looking at picking up a reliable saloon that has good boot space. I am looking at a 2006 Mazda3, but need some advice as to whether this is a good buy or not and what else I should be looking at. Most of my driving is in Dublin with the occasional trip to Mayo. Should I be looking at petrol or diesel? I don't really want to go above 1.7-litre as the tax will just be too much for me.

Thanks

Hi, I'm interested in a Toyota Prius T3 Hybrid 1.5 , from 2008, 41k mileage, one owner, selling for €8,950. Is that ok to buy? Thanks!

Are there any problems with the 2007 Peugeot 207 CC cabriolet 1.6 diesel? Any reason there are so few in Ireland?

What is my 2007 Ford Focus worth with 156,000km on the clock? Timing belt just done, three new tyres, front wheel bearing right-hand side done, thinking of trading in or selling private.

Hi, I'm looking at a 1985 Porsche 944 S1; it has 77,000 miles on the clock. What should I be looking out for? Thanks

Ever wonder why the DSG gearbox in the Skoda Superb is double the price of the Octavia's? I've asked the people in Skoda to explain why, but they ignored me...

Is the Opel Insignia a good car?

I got a second hand engine put into my car about six weeks ago and now find that I have a couple of major oil leaks. Where do I stand with regard to warranty?

Thanks

Just wondering if the petrol versus diesel debate should have taken into account the depreciation of the cars in addition to the other costs shown. I would imagine that certain cars would definately sell better if they were diesel (Most Audis and Volkswagens) than if they were petrol. What do you think?

When will the new Ford Mondeo be on sale in Ireland?
