Is this high mileage Nissan Qashqai a risk?
Hi, I am thinking of buying a 2007 Nissan Qashqai 1.6 petrol with 231,625km on the clock. It has one owner. Is this to much mileage on a car? It comes with full service history and an NCT until 2015.
Thanking you, Eric.

What will I upgrade to from a Mazda MX-5?
I'm currently driving a Mazda MX-5 and loving it. It makes me smile every time I drive it. But with the latest payrise I'm contemplating an upgrade. Is there anything that will give the same driving experience or at least very close to and also be faster? I'd be thinking of spending up to about €50,000, but can be less or slightly more if I feel it's worth it. And no, doesn't have to be brand new, but like the MX-5 I want that amazing driving feeling and something that's reliable (or bulletproof as the MX-5 is).

How can a 1.6-litre diesel engine manage a car like the Mondeo?
I wish to get the 1.6-litre diesel engine explained to me. The Ford Focus has a 1.6d and now the Mondeo has a 1.6d engine. Can both do a good job? One is small car, one is large and heavy. Is 1.6d a good engine generally?
