What small automatic to replace my Volvo S40?
We are trying to sell our Volvo S40 1.8 flex fuel purchased in 2009 and road tax paid until May 2012. It is good as new with only 37,000km on the clock and we are trying to get an automatic small car instead. How much do you think is a fair garage offer as it's a hassle to sell privately, and what's a good small automatic car?

Which 2011 car to keep for 4-5 years?
Hi guys,
I have it down to two cars; both are 2011 fleet return cars with about 10,000km on them. A VW Passat 1.6D Comfortline or a Toyota Avensis 2.0D Aura/Strata. I hope to keep this car for four to five years. Your advice would be much appreciated.

Will I buy a Volkswagen Passat instead of a Golf?
Hi Paddy,
Thanks for the answer above (Which VW will i buy? 06/09) but i have another question: looking around i've realised that i can get a 2011 1.4 Petrol Passat Comfortline for the price i'd be paying for a 2012 1.2 Golf Highline. As the family is growing should i consider this?
I really like the Passat and the 1.4 Petrol would be ideal for me as although i drive every day, it's all city driving with only the occasional long trip outside Dublin. Anyone i say this too thinks i'm mad buying petrol as when i come to trade the car in up the line, no one will want a petrol car? I'd appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks.

New Focus or used BMW/Audi?
I'm changing my car for a diesel one early next year. I'm undecided between a new Ford Focus Zetec saloon or a 2008 BMW 320d/Audi A4. My main concerns are fuel economy, reliability and running costs. Any advice on what to go for?
