Will an automatic Nissan Micra suit me?
Hi, can you tell me is a 2007 Nissan Micra Sport 1.2-litre automatic good for long journeys? I go to visit my mother twice a week she lives 50 miles away; the rest of the days are just normal school runs etc.
Thank you, Paula

Is torque more important than power for overtaking?
Is torque more important than power when it comes to overtaking? My 1.4 Astra petrol has 100hp, but is not good for overtaking. What should I look for to get more oomph when needing to overtake?

Can you recommend a good family car?
Can you recommend a good family car? I have a newborn on the way and am looking to buy a family car in the next 2-3 weeks. I have a budget of roughly €10,500. I'm six-foot-four in height so space is very important. My wife and I also have family down the country so would be making regular trips now and then outside Dublin. In a nutshell, I'm looking for something reliable, pratical, economical and fun to drive. I've been homing in on a Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi Zetec.
Any advice or other recommendations would be much appreciated.
