I need a very large car for up to €16,000.

I have a budget of around €13,000 to €16,000 and and need to buy a seven-seater diesel that will accommodate two adults and five children aged 7, 10, 12, 14 and 17 years. Have no interest in what the car looks like, need the most reliable engine, with the most leg room possible and will not be trading up etc so maintenance costs a factor too. Will drive the car for as long as it lasts, live in the countryside so average weekly mileage around 130km.

Would be so grateful for some advice.

What is the Peugeot 207 CC like?

What is the Peugeot 207 CC 1.6 (cabriolet) like? I've seen a really nice one with very low mileage like new from 2007 and always liked it. I would like to buy it and the dealer is SIMI registered and offering guarantees so all seems good. How does this car average out / run in general? It would be just for myself (female) with a small child (primary school age).

Thanks

Mazda3, Skoda Octavia or Toyota Corolla?

Hi guys.

I currently drive a Volkswagen Golf (2007) and am looking to upgrade to accommodate a growing family (two young kids). I've narrowed my selection down to Mazda3 (saloon), Skoda Octavia, or the Toyota Corolla. Space is a main concern.

Any advice?

Cheers, Ronan
