Can you clarify the legislation on tyre pressure monitoring?
I have a question regarding Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems and wondering if you can clarify the EU regulations in regard to this matter. I keep a very keen eye on car specifications and I'm aware that these systems on cars are to be mandatory by a certain date but I can't seem get a definite answer. I notice many cars are including them as standard now and others only offer as an option. It might be worthwhile to inform new car buyers that this should be included as I think very soon they will be on all cars.
Many thanks if you can get to answer this for me.

What seven-seater to go for with €10,000?
Guys, my brother is looking to buy a seven-seater to lug his (many) kids about. Could you advise on the best out there? Budget is only €10k though. If it could deliver on boot space too that'd be a plus, but seven seats may eat into that. Reliability a big thing too (no unexpected bills in a recession if possible!).
Thanks in advance.

Should I trade in my Impreza for a Mazda RX-8?
I have a 2003 Subaru Impreza 1.6 petrol saloon 4wd with approx 170,000 miles on the clock and an NCT until next March. I am looking around at the moment at other cars, and the Mazda RX-8 is taking my fancy. Just wondering would I be able to cut a deal with a dealer to sell my Impreza, whether it would be worth anything to me?

Can you help me chose a small convertible?
Which small convertible should I go for? I have a budget of up to €13,000 and would like a stylish car for a change from my 2005 Toyota Yaris. I do little mileage and would hope to buy something I will love for a number of years. I have been looking out for a Volkswagen Eos 1.4 with leather interior but these are not that easy to find. I have also looked at the Peugeot 207 CC 1.6 but am open to all suggestions.
Thanking you.

Which version of the Lancer is the Intense equivalent to?
I am currently in the market for a 2008 and up Mitsubishi Lancer 1.5 and have come across the Intense model. When trying to get an insurance quote for this model I am left stumped as the insurance companies only suggest the models DE, ES and GTS. Which model is the Intense relative to these?
