Ford Mondeo or Volkswagen Passat for an auto diesel?
Hi,
I'm currently looking to purchase either a Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi Powershift or a Volkswagen Passat 1.9 TDI DSG. Looking at year ranges from 2007-10. Can you please advise on both cars in terms of smoothness of gear change and fuel economy? Also, If I do purchase a 2008 or above model can you tell me the road tax based on emissions for both cars?
Thanks

Should I go for 1.6- or 1.9-litre TDI Audi A3?
Hi,
I'm looking to buy an Audi A3 diesel, changing from a 2003 petrol Toyota Corolla. I would like to go up perhaps five to six years. There seems to be a lot more 1.9 TDI engines around than 1.6, which was what I had thought I would go for. Would you be able to tell me if there is much difference in mpg between them? I would do a good bit of driving per week and I want something that's more fuel efficient.

Hello lads,
I currently drive a Peugeot 206 and in my 10 years of ownership the last six months have been plagued by problems. Can you recommend a good diesel car, max €3,000? I drive approx 100 miles a day for work.

I'm new to Ireland - how does car tax work?
Hi, I am new in Ireland. I am looking to buy a second hand five-door automatic car. Can you please suggest one? Also I want it to be reliable and economical. My max budget is €5,000. I noticed that cars around 2005 have high road tax and require frequent NCT test.
Any suggestion would be great.
Thanks
