Are the Volkswagen Golf BlueMotions really economical?

Need suggestions for a very economical used diesel. I currently have a 1.8 TDCi Ford Focus averaging about 50mpg. Are the BlueMotion Golfs actually getting high 60s to low 70s mpg?

Should I buy a new Mitsubishi Pajero?

Hello, I would like to know what you think of the Mitsubishi Pajero please. I really like the look of it and wonder would it be reliable. Could you explain what it means when it says the tax on the cost of buying the car is refundable? Would it be ok to use it for normal everyday driving when it's classed as a commercial?

Thanks.

Mercedes-Benz GLA or CLA?

Mercedes-Benz GLA or CLA? Both the same price, but which is the better car? And is the 1.5-litre engine too small for that size of car? It's getting really expensive by the time you go up to the 2.1-litre versions.

Any advice?

When did Renault begin charging extra for white?

When did Renault begin charging extra for white?

Late in September I ordered a new Renault Clio for delivery at the beginning of this month. In early October I changed the colour to white, which was not a problem to the dealer. I was informed last week that it would not be available until the end of this month. Since then I've seen on the Renault website that they are now charging €540 extra for a white Clio, whereas when I placed my order the extra charge did not apply to white. However, as my original order was for a colour that carried the extra charge I would not be surprised if the dealer tried to hit me for this extra and consequently am wondering when precisely Renault introduced it.

Thanks, E K Dublin
