Should I buy a Toyota Levin?
I'd like to buy a sporty second hand car for around €3,000 but would go up to €4500. I have my heart set on a Toyota Levin. Is this a good choice & do they have any common faults to look out for? Any other good suggestions would be appreciated.

Can I fit steel wheels to a BMW 116?
Hello the better half has a 2005 BMW 116, which has 16-inch alloy wheels. These are very badly buckled and have run flat tyres. Is it possible to fit ordinary 16-inch steel wheels and ordinary tyres on it and would any 16-inch wheel do the job i.e. VW Golf steel wheels?
Thanking you.

Citroen C4 Picasso or Peugeot 5008?
Which are deemed the better car ( I know they are almost identical! )....the C4 Grand Picasso, or the Peugeot 5008. Legroom up front and even in the second row seems better in the 5008?

Which Volkswagen Golf will I buy?
Hey, i'm looking to change my car at the minute and am thinking of the VW Golf 1.2 as i like the look of it and it will be cheap to insure, tax and run but as myself and my wife have a baby on the way i'm worried this won't be big enough. I don't do enough mileage to justify the extra cost of a 1.6 diesel and would like to stick to a max of 1.4. Do you think i should go ahead and get the Golf or is there anything else i should consider? My budget is 20k but i don't want a car older that 2010.

When is the new Hyundai Santa Fe coming?
Do you have any idea when an all-new Hyundai Santa Fe will be released and if so when Ireland will have it? I thought I saw something in The Irish Times about it being released soon.

What's causing my Skoda Octavia starting problems?
My 2006 Skoda Octavia 1.9 diesel takes ages to start in the morning. When it does start it runs all day without any problems. Is it injector related?
