Which insurable starter car should I go for with €3,000?
Hi, I have about €3,000 to spend on a starter car. Most of my driving would be on the weekends sight-seeing. Insurance would be a factor with the engine size. The 1.4 petrol Golf seems to the most reasonable with insurance.
Thanks

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
