Is a high mileage Nissan Micra ok?
Is 80,000 miles and €3,400 high for a Nissan Micra? I need a new car and can't afford to be let down or pay for expensive repairs.

What's causing the vibration in my Volkswagen Transporter?
Hi, I have a problem with my 2004 Volkswagen Transporter T5. It shudders really badly when it reaches about 2,000rpm in all gears. When you accelerate hard it's so bad you cannot drive it (because of the vibration and lack of power). We have checked the air intake sensor, it's not that, and the diagnostics show no faults. We have just changed the long driveshaft and it made no difference. What do we do next?
Thanks Ken, Co. Galway

Should I trade in my Peugeot 206 now or wait?
I have a 2003 Peugeot 206 that needs the guts of a €1,000 worth of work to keep it going and have €12k-14k put aside for an upgrade. The only thing stopping me trading in the Peugeot against a newer car is the fact my wife is learning to drive. Would I be better off putting the money into the 206, wait 6-9 months while my wife learns to drive as I'm worried she could damage the newer car?

Is the Volvo XC90 our safest family bet with seven seats?
We are looking for a large, family SUV, preferably a Volvo XC90, as our priorities are space and safety. It needs to take two car seats and another person in the back, with space in the boot for a pushchair and shopping. Are there any other cars that would be on a par with the safety record of an XC90?
