How much will road tax cost for a Volvo 2.0 C70? It is a convertible. Also, how solid is the hood?

My engine on my Skoda Octavia 1.9 diesel sometimes just dies when slowing down (possibly under braking) but then will start again without any problem. What could it be?

I am looking to trade in a 2008 Citroen C4 Coupé (three-door) for a more economical family car with at least four doors, low road tax and I have a tight budget. I need either a saloon or estate and have approx €6,000 to spend with my car - any recommendations?

Thanks.

I am looking for an economical used car for under €7,000. I do about 15,000 miles per year with a 40km round trip daily commute in city traffic so fuel economy is important - I am thinking diesel. I have two kids under seven so need space for those (although I have considered a roof box for them - imagine the peace!!!). In seriousness though safety is a factor - boot space not so important. Don't want to go over a 1.6-litre; what should I be looking at? Please help...
