Audi S3 or Mercedes C-Class - both cabriolets?
Hi,
Could I ask you to compare the Audi S3 Cabriolet with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet for about the same money? Both are quality cars. The Mercedes possibly more polished and stylish. The Audi has four-wheel drive, is faster and smaller.
Thank you, Philip

Which big 4x4 to go for with €9,000 budget?
I am thinking of buying a second hand four-wheel drive. Something like a Range Rover, Land Rover, Volkswagen Touareg or similiar. I only have €9,000 to spend therefore will be looking at anything from 2003 to 2006. Most have about 120,000 miles or more. I am worried I might end up in a whole load of pain buying something that old. Any suggestions?
I know there are the old reliables like the Kia Soretno and Hyundai Sante Fe, but I am afraid they are a little bland for me.
