Should we go diesel or stick with petrol?
Hi guys, we're looking at upgrading my wife's car in the New Year. She currently has a 2006 1.4 Volkswagen Golf CL and we were thinking of another Golf, maybe a 2012 1.2 HL model. We live in Knocklyon and she works in Carrickmines so we're thinking, would it be worth considering diesel?

What diesel car should I replace our Peugeot 307 with?
Hi all. My girlfriend's Peugeot 307 died a death on the dual carrigeway recently so she is looking for a diesel car around 1.4 to 1.6 with a max price of €6,000. She commutes everyday from Ballylinan in Laois to Tallaght. Any good diesel cars in that range she should be looking at?

Mazda6, Peugeot 407 or Volkswagen Passat?
I have €5,000 to €7,000 to spend on a car that'll be good for commuting 100km per day. Currently looking at 1. Mazda 6 2. Peugeot 407 3. Volkswagen Passat - all diesels. Looking for something reliable with decent spec and low running costs/insurance (I'm 24!). I've read about some issues with Mazda diesels around this price range, also unsure of Peugeot's reliability and the Passats seem to be cursed with high mileage at this price point. Any advice on these or other cars you'd recommend would be appreciated.
Thanks.
