Is it worth chipping my Ford Focus for economy?
I've a 2010 Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi. Will remapping the engine's ECU really improve the economy? I'm getting 46- to 49mpg now and there are 57k miles on the clock (it's a UK import).

Should this high-mileage Hyundai i30 be ok?
Hi, I am looking to buy a 2011 Hyundai i30. However it has high mileage at 76,600 miles - should timing belt be replaced at this stage and what else should I be wary of with such high mileage?

Mercedes-Benz GLA or CLA?
Mercedes-Benz GLA or CLA? Both the same price, but which is the better car? And is the 1.5-litre engine too small for that size of car? It's getting really expensive by the time you go up to the 2.1-litre versions.
Any advice?

Should I get rid of my Nissan Micra?
I have a Nissan Micra that is a 2004 model; it's only done 40,000 miles on the clock and I have been told l need a new timing chain, which will cost me around £600. I am just wondering if it's worth repairing or am l better off buying a new but different car as l have heard there's a lot of faults with Nissan Micra and Note.

Is the Toyota Yaris the most reliable small car?
Hi again, just as a follow on from my last question, I was advised that the Toyota Yaris would be the most reliable small car I could get second hand; do you agree? If not, what else would you advise I look for?
Thank you :-)

Can you help me choose a second hand Toyota Yaris?
Hi, I'm looking for a second hand Toyota Yaris; am I better to stretch my budget to a 2006 mdoel or if I find an 04 or 05 with low mileage would it be just as good (saving me much needed cash)? Also, what kind of things should I be looking out for on inspection? Is there any maintenance needed with timing chain or the like that I should be asking about before I buy?
A load of questions I know, I would appreciate any advice you can give me.
Thanks!
