Looking to change to a Skoda Octavia. Thoughts?
Hi,
I'm going to change my car this year to a Skoda Octavia 08/09 model, but I was wondering if you could recommend any other reliable lower end road tax and economical diesel family cars. Been driving 2002 Volkswagen Passat for last 10 years.

Tell me more about the new 2015 Ford Mustang
Is there a new 2015 version of the Ford Mustang coming out? What would you think of it as a purchase in terms of ongoing maintenance, costs, etc. Or else I might go with an Audi A5...

MINI One or Volvo C30?
I don't drive a lot and am trying to decide between a Volvo C30 1.8 petrol and a MINI One 1.6 petrol. The Volvo has been heavily discounted, but the annual tax is €750 vs €514 for the MINI. I've read that the Volvo is heavier on fuel costs and servicing vs the MINI. My heart would probably opt for the MINI for its looks alone, but the small size concerns me and I wonder how well it handles. I took it for a test drive, but it's hard to tell on such a short drive.
