Toyota Corolla or Volkswagen Golf?

2010 Toyota Corolla Luna 1.4 petrol (€11,950 / 67,000 miles) or 2009 Volkswagen Golf VI 1.4 petrol (€12,500 / 36,000 miles)? Which one is a better choice? Any opinions? I can't find any on Corolla as it seems most of reviews are done in UK and this particular model is not being sold on their market, and the American version is a completely different car...

Should I replace my Merc with a Golf or Astra?

I have a 2007 1.8 petrol Mercedes-Benz E-Class with low mileage and my need for a big car has changed and I require something that will not depreciate as quick and will cost less to maintain and run. I'm thinking of a Golf or Astra. What do you think?

Volkswagen Polo, up! or Suzuki Swift?

Hi, following on from my previous question: he dealer claims to have no knowledge of previous history for the Volkswagen Polo apart from the fact that he can confirm the car has not been crashed, and he will give the car a comprehensive service.

I am also looking at a 2012 Volkswagen up! (move up!) with 14,000km on the clock and a 2011 Suzuki Swift GLX with 30,000 miles and a full service history. I prefer the Poloand its colour I am trading in a 2006 Volkswagen Sharan 1.8T with 85,000km on the clock. Dealers are offering me roughly €4,600 for mine What do you think?
