Ford Mondeo or Volkswagen Passat?
Hoping to buy a 2.0-litre diesel estate and need to decide between 2010 Passat (high spec) and 2011 Mondeo (lower spec). Similar mileage and price. I spend a lot of time on the road.
Any suggestions?

How much to import my Toyota from the Middle East?
Hello, hoping this query finds you well. I am SO happy to find a site like this :) (especially for those women among us who aren't the most clued up on all car issues)
I'm hoping to be moving back home early mid summer 2015 and am hoping to bring my SUV with me... if it's financially feasible to do so. I'd be importing it from where we bought it in the Middle East in 2008 (2009 model). It's a Toyota Fortuner GX2 2.7 five-door petrol - I can't find exact or approximate costs for a VRT band on this, what road tax be like for it or get online insurance quotes for it either, so am wondering if you could throw any light on this for me please, as I'd rather avoid the case of some possible nasty shocks by doing my homework from now on this.
Many thanks for any advice at all. Rosemarie, from Cork.
