Are French cars my only option for real comfort on Irish roads?
What medium size car can best soak up the endless bumps on Irish roads, without loosening the passengers' false teeth? I know French cars have a good name for poor surfaces but reliability might be a problem...

How do you rate the Volkswagen Scirocco?
Hi guys,
How would you rate a used Volkswagen Scirocco, say 2011/12 model? The majority of cars in the used market seem to be the 1.4 TSI 122hp model; is this engine strong enough for the car, or would I be better going for the 2.0-litre diesel? Majority of my driving is in town with some motorway driving at the weekend.
Thanks
Gary

Should I go diesel or petrol for a Ford C-Max?
Thinking of buying a 1.6 Ford C-Max from the UK, but have heard mixed reports about the diesel models. Would I be safer going for the petrol one instead?

Is €22,000 too high for this Volkswagen Passat?
Is €22,000 a high price for a 2012 Volkswagen Passat 1.6 TDI? Back in 2009 we bought a 2007 Passat similar spec for €17,000. It was a 2.0-litre TDI two-year old; dealers seem to be looking for crazy money now!

Should I go for a BMW 3 Series with €7,000 budget?
Hi, I am looking to buy a second hand car. My budget is €7,000. I would prefer automatic transmission. I found a 2006 BMW 3 Series (320i) for €6,500 and it has done 124,000km. Would you recommend this? I never had a car before. What's the fuel consumption and maintenance like?
Many thanks, Richard
