Is the Volvo XC90 a good family buy?
Hi lads,
I've 16, 15 and 5 year olds and another one on the way. I have a Volvo S80, but will need to change. I don't like MPVs as the rear seats are too close to the back of the vehicle so if you have a tip I'd be worried about the back two. I saw a 2010 Volvo XC90 the last day in a car park and it had two child seats in the back, two in the middle and a 15-year-old by the window and the two parents. I asked them what did they think of it. They said they had a Discovery before but found the Volvo more family oriented, safe and reliable. Would you agree? What else would you consider?
Oh, I've a daft labrador as well that would have to go in the boot!
Thanks

What's the 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee like?
I'm looking at a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.7 CRD with 185,000km on it. I can't say I don't like the price, but it does seem to be a bit on the low side. What to look for? What can be off with the car?

Value of my 2004 Volvo XC90 AWD?
Hi, what's the market value of a 2004 Volvo XC90 2.5T AWD (petrol)? The car is in good overall condition with all the bells and whistles. It's a seven-seater with 160,000km on it. What could I look to get from the dealer in terms of trade-in value (presuming some dealer wants a huge petrol in their stock)?

Mazda6 diesel or petrol Megane?
I am looking at buying a used car. I travel up and down to Drogheda from Dublin each day for work. Would a 2.0-litre diesel be more efficient than a 1.6 petrol? They are both 2007, diesel is a Mazda6 and the 1.6 is a Megane.
