How can I tell if the Passat's flywheel is on the way out?
I am looking at a 2006 Volkswagen Passat Estate, 1.9 diesel; do they give any trouble mechanically and how do I know if the flywheel needs attention?

Is this Mondeo worth considering?
Is the mileage too high on this car? It is an imported 2012 (registered 21/5/12) 2.0 136hp Ford Mondeo Zetec hatchback with nearly 53,000 kilometres on the clock. Is it worth considering?

What's the best starter car for €3,000?
I'm looking to buy my first car and have around €3,000 to spend. I would estimate that I would travel about 12,000 miles a year. Would you be able to give me any advice on what car to buy, taking into account things like insurance (I'm 22), running costs etc? Any advice would be great!
Thanks

Which MPV would you recommend for us?
Hi, we're looking for a family car that will fit three child seats, not necessarily in the one row. We're considering a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe. How would you rate this in comparison to other family MPVs? Other options we've considered are a Mazda5 or Ford S-Max. Motor tax costs are fairly important to us. We had a loan of a Toyota Corolla Verso and preferred our current Ford C-Max, so it's out of the running for us.
Thanks for your help, Susan, Dublin
