Should I be afraid of rear-wheel drive?
I need advice on front-wheel drive cars... like BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Do they have driving probs in snow, ice, frost and heavy rain? I am hearing lots of horror stories. Are the stories true? Can you account for big sales of these type of cars in Ireland and UK if such problems exist?
Help please!

Should my Audi A6 be juddering in first?
Hi, I am driving a 2009 Audi A6 with 91,000 miles on the clock and a manual gearbox. It shudders on take off in first gear, mostly after starting in the morning. Any idea what it might be? I have had it to the garage and they tell me its a "feature" of the car. Not convinced!! Can you help? Gearbox oil has been changed.

Am I crazy to buy this MINI Clubman Cooper D?
I'm thinking of buying a MINI Clubman Cooper Diesel with about 83,000 miles on the clock. Am I crazy?!! Is there anything I should be alert to or questions I should ask? The only obvious problem is a sort of blistering on the alloys. Would this indicate any misuse? Also is there an issue with timing belt/chain? It's a UK import. Thank you

Any such thing as a diesel supercar with low emissions?
Can anyone let me know about a diesel super car I can buy that has below 225g/km of CO2? It will fall into the second category from the top for tax costs.
