Petrol or diesel for a new Toyota?
Hi, I am currently looking at a new Toyota Corolla or Auris. I don't know whether the 1.33 petrol or 1.4 diesel would be better. I have a 50km round commute on main roads and dual carriageways and my annual mileage is 16,000km.
Thanks for your help.

Should we bring our car from Germany?
Hello,
Can I ask for some advice please? My girlfriend is a German national who has come to live in Ireland. She wants to sell her car here in Ireland. The car in question is a 2011 Nissan Qashqai - very good spec with a petrol engine. There is a Moldovian national who is interested in buying this car, but we are concerned that the car will not be registered in Moldova and we are aware that a lot of German cars are in Moldova on German plates.
Any help or advice would be appreciated .
Warmest regards
Michael Roche

Nissan Pulsar or Skoda Rapid Spaceback?
We are looking for an automatic that will be our family car for the future. We are talking two kids in the back and a dog in the trunk when we go on trips. It's all about practicality for us, the car is for transport not for joy rides.
So far we have been looking at the Nissan Pulsar XE and the Skoda Rapid - and here probably the Spaceback to give the dog a bit more head room. But then it comes to features we aren't too picky, but we do want air conditioning.
So as the price difference between the Pulsar EX and the Spaceback Ambition is rather small, we are torn and would be grateful for some pointers.
