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
