Which car to replace my BMW 320d M Sport?
I have a BMW 320d Coupé M Sport model. I'm selling it and I hope to get around €25,000 for it. I don't get to drive it anymore. The missus drives it to work midweek and I only get it at the weekend. She wants something more practical. I want something practical with a bit of class to it. Any suggestions?

Would a petrol Mazda6 be a good buy?
Hi,
Due to an economical write-off I'm being forced into a car change. Moving from a solid 1.8 Opel Vectra Comfort (Petrol)2003. My budget is €10k plus pre-accident value, approx €2.5 - 3K. Took a Mazda6 2.0 Diesel Exec. 2008 for a test drive and really like it. The mileage is high and I've been reading of a lot of problems with the engine in general. Not doing a lot of mileage these days so would consider a Petrol. Given the low value of Petrol cars at the moment and the problems with Diesel version, would a Mazda6 1.8 Petrol be a good buy?

Why does my low coolant light keep coming on?
The low coolant warning light is coming on in my Mazda RX-8 when driving over 120km/h. Coolant level and oil are ok. Any idea what's causing this? The light goes off again after a few minutes.

What mileage does the BMW 316i SE do?
Hi,
I am considering buying a 2008 BMW 316i se petrol. Any idea roughly what the mpg of this car might be (the dealer told me 49mpg)? I've trawled the net with not much luck. I do approx 13.5k miles per year, would I be better off with a diesel? Your advice is appreciated.
Thanks Gavin (Tipperary)
